3. By default, the eG Sybase Monitor extracts the measures of interest by executing stored
procedures on the 'master' database on the Sybase server. If, for some reason, you decide not to
use the 'master' database, then you can create a special database for this purpose using this
setup procedure. To achieve this, first, type y when setup prompts you for your confirmation to
create a new database.
Do you want me to create a new database to store eG System Procedures and Tables?
[y/n]: y
4. If you press y at step 2, you will be prompted for the new database name:
Please enter the new Database name: john
5. After you specify the name of the new database, the device for the new database has to be
specified. A device is a logical structure in Sybase that contains a group of datafiles. Every
database created in Sybase should be associated with a device.
Please enter the device name for the new Database Name. . .[DEFAULT='default'] :
To use the 'default' device for the new database, just press Enter on your keyboard. On the other
hand, if you choose not to use the 'default' device, make sure you specify any other existing
device name here. If need be, you can even manually create a new device on your Sybase
server for this purpose, and specify that device name for the new database.
6. Once a device is set for your database, proceed to indicate the size of the new database.
Please enter the size of the database in MB without units [DEFAULT=30]:
Any database that you create using setup will be of size 30 MB by default. To proceed with the
default size, press the Enter key on your keyboard. Else, specify any size of your choice
(preferably, between 50 MB and 60 MB) here.
7. eG Enterprise requires a special Sybase database user account for monitoring a Sybase server.
This user should possess the “sa_role” privilege and the “sybase_ts_role” privilege. Setup will
now request your confirmation for creating this user account. Note that if you had chosen not to
create a new database by entering n at step 2 above, then you will be directly lead to this step.
To monitor a Sybase Adaptive server, the eG Agent requires a user account with the
sa_role and sa_ts_role privilege.
Do you want me to create a user with sa_role and sa_ts_role privilege in the
database? [y/n]:y
Enter y to proceed with the new user creation, or n if you do not wish to create a new database
user.
8. If you enter y in step 7, you will be required to provide the following inputs:
