Server groups

The server group design adds a new tree node that represents groups of servers. If you have not connected to Adaptive Server before, a server group called Default displays without any servers listed. Connections from the following places are listed in the Default Server group:

Sybase Central Connect button
Connection profile dialog
Root
Servers panel

You can neither remove the default server group, nor modify the properties. This information is available on the server group details pane:

Sever Name
Version number
Platform and operating system
Host name and port number
Status
Information about the connected attribute

The server name can be an actual server name from the interfaces or LDAP file, or it can be another name containing the host name and port number.

Adding a new server group

As root, open the Add Server Group item or select File | New | Server Group menu item to display the server group wizard.
Name the server, as prompted by the wizard. The server group name is limited to 30 characters. Click Next.
You can add comments about the server group you are creating. There is no length restriction for the comments. When you are finished, click Next.
Select the servers to be added to the new server group. Server groups cannot contain other server groups.
You can modify the properties of a server group by displaying the Properties dialog.

You can connect and disconnect all servers within a server group by selecting Connect All or Disconnect from the server group menu.
