Hi all,
I have some questions and some observations to share about installing DBD::Sybase on RHEL 4. First the observations
Originally I installed the hobbit-perl-client on my BB development box, Sun Ultra-80 Solaris 8. All Perl modules and freetds were built using defaults, no prefix options passed to configure. Everything built fine and tested dbcheck to an MSSQL server and all worked as expected.
Now I do the same thing on my Hobbit development box, Dell 2650 RHEL 4 and it just wouldn't work. I ran dbcheck on an MySQL server and that was fine, so I know it's not the hobbit-perl-client. A little more digging and I found that other people have had similar problems with DBD::Sybase and it turns out to be an issue with how freetds was built. I had to rebuild freetds with the --prefix=/usr/local/freetds argument to configure and then rebuild DBD::Sybase with these environment variables set SYBASE=/usr/local/freetds, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/freetds/lib. Once built I used the same environment variables when running dbcheck for MSSQL and voila!!
If this is an abnormal installation, or general knowledge, then I apologize for taking up your time.
Now for the questions I didn't want the dbcheck uptime column overwriting the uptime stats I receive from the BBWin client So in the dbcheck.ini defaults section I added: uptimeascolumn = yes uptimecolumn = DBuptime So now the uptime column reflects the uptime reported by BBWin, but I don't have a DBuptime column. What am I doing wrong ?
Also, the tblspcheck is set to the default 90:95, yet all tablespaces that are over these limits just show green.
Any assistance would be appreciated Thanks -Grs- Gregory R Shea EMC Corporation
