Changing server discovery settings

Navigate to Tools | Adaptive Server Enterprise | Preferences then select the Server Discovery tab.
Check Enable Server Discovery
Select Add.
Select the discovery method from the scroll menu.
- JINI – an open architecture that enables developers to create network-centric services that are highly adaptive to change. JINI offers a standard lookup service for discovery.
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP) – a network protocol that provides a procedure for application programs to send messages to other programs with a minimal protocol mechanism.
If UDP is used, only servers on the same subnet as the one on which Sybase Central is running are discovered.
If you selected JINI in the previous step:
- Select the host of the JINI server
- Select either the default host and port or enter new ones
Click OK.
