Sybase Agent installation

Hi @Mansoor ,

I hope you are asking about the OS group that needed to be provided during the agent install for Sybase, it should be the primary group of the DB OS user (most of the time “sapsys”)

You can check with your DBA regarding the DB user, then run “id <<DBUser>>” command to get the primary group, or you may try the below steps,

Run the below command to get the process and user that owns that process,

# ps -ef | grep dataserver

Example:

# ps -ef | grep dataserver
  sybtest  5505084        1   0   Jun 07      - 30:22 /sybase/Test/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver -d/sybase/Test/sybsystem/master.dat -e/sybase/test/ASE-15_0/install/Test.log -c/sybase/Test/ASE-15_0/Test.cfg -M/sybase/Test/ASE-15_0 -sTest

Here sybtest is the user, now run the ID command to get the group,

Example:

# id sybtest
uid=208(sybtest ) gid=202(sapsys) groups=201(sapinst)

Here sapsys is the primary group that you need to provide during the install.

In case you missed to provide the group during the install, you can always change it after the install using the “cvpkgchg” utility as a root/sudo user,

Example:

cvpkgchg -g sapsys

In case you do not know the group, a 777 permission should help to proceed with the configuration,

cvpkgchg -p 777
