Database Administration Utilities
The Server Location utility
dblocate [ options ]
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -o filename | Log output messages to a file |
| -q | Operate quietly—do not print messages |
The dblocate utility locates any Adaptive Server Anywhere database servers running over TCP/IP on the immediate network. It prints a list of database servers and their addresses.
Depending on your network, the utility may take several seconds before printing its results.
Exit codes are 0 (success) or non-zero (failure).
This utility accepts @filename parameters. For more information, see @filename server option.
The database server can register itself with an LDAP server which keeps track of all servers in an enterprise. This allows both clients and the Server Location utility [dblocate] to find them regardless of whether they are on a WAN or LAN, through firewalls, and without specifying an IP address. LDAP is only used with TCP/IP, and only on network servers.
For more information about LDAP, see Connecting using an LDAP server.
