Here are the steps to quickly configure the NexusDB Server and verify that it works correctly:
Step one is to start and setup the server.
- Start up NexusDB server
- right click the tray icon and start the administration by selecting "Configure"
- Select the Server Engine item from the Database settings on the left hand list. The Server Engine configuration displays.
- Make sure that a Server Name is specified and MaxRAM is set to a sensible size. You might also want to change other settings.
- Select the Aliases item from the the left hand list. The Alias Configuration displays.
- Add aliases and verify that your alias paths are defined correctly.
- Make sure you have at least one transport active!
The second step is to verify you can connect from the same machine
To verify that you can connect to the NexusDB Server using Enterprise Manager on the same machine, start NexusDB Enterprise Manager and look for the servers found. If your server name appears your server is set up correctly. This will verify you can at least see the NexusDB Server from the same machine.
The third step is to verify you can connect from a different machine
The third step is to verify you can connect to the NexusDB Server from a different workstation. When Enterprise Manager starts, it sends out a broadcast for available servers. Both the TCP/IP and Named Pipes transports should show the NexusDB Server on the other machine.
