#71304 - 2002-10-30 08:07 PM Edit IP in Sybase client
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Is there a way to edit the IP address on win95/98 clients that is located in the Sybase client information. The Sysbase client is used to connect to a remote database. Part of the client config is putting in the IP address of the remomte server. I would like to do this by group becasue we will be changing our IP addressing soon. This may be an unusual request but I figured I would give it a shot. Thank you

Radimus Radimus Moderator Registered: 2000-01-06 Posts: 5187 Loc: Tampa, FL	well, if it is in the registry or in an ini file, it would be easy. I suggest you look in the registry for it, and post its location and we can write something up for you. _________________________ How to ask questions the smart way <-----------> Before you ask

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Thank you. The registry key is as follows; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\EasylenderConsumerServer The string value is as follows; Start "C:\SQLANY50\WIN32\dbclient.exe -c -x tcpip{myip=none;dobroadcast=no;host=10.10.1.10} What I need to change is just the ip address in the string. IF you can help that would be awesome.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	With this function replace how does it know which hive key the string is contained in. I am not sure how to implement this in my environment to just change an ip address. Thank you

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	First of all, the function only deals with a string. It has nothing to do with the registry. You read the ValueData into a string, replace the substring and then write the ValueData back. Second, please use the proper terminology for the the registry items. Do not confuse Keys with ValueNames and ValueData. See the FAQ: Topic: Registry _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	In my original post I indicated it was in the HKEY_LOcal_Machine hive. Can I still use kix to make the edit to the string contained within this hive?? Thank you

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	(chrunch, crunch, crunch) as Les chews on a couple more Rollaids... There was another thread where the user said they didn't have time to read the manual... I think the post count on that one topic alone was over 20, the manual has 100 pages. Some of the information in the 20+ posts are dubious, all 100 pages of the manual are pertinent and accurate. No time to read the manual? Somebody once said to me "I don't have time to do it right". If you can't find the time to do it right then where will you find the time to do it over? Stupid IS forever... _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11164 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Les: You're preaching to the choir. I think both the KiXtart Manual and the FAQ Forum should be required reading before a new member is allowed to post here. I know, radical approach _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I have read the manual that comes with the download. It is not very detailed. It gives a lot of the commands but some of them have no detail. If there is another manual you are speaking of please let me know where to find it. Thank you

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11164 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Please name one KiXtart Command/Function/Macro that does not provide any detail or even insufficient details. And also name the KiXtart (Manual) version that you are referring to. We could then notify the developer to enhance the description of said Command/Function/Macro _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	adagost, My last post was not directed at you... 'twas just a knee-jerk reaction to Jens trying to get my goat. I need for you to clarify some of the terminology before I can dispense any more advice. Did you read my FAQ? You said: {snip} The registry key is as follows; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\EasylenderConsumerServer The string value is as follows; Start "C:\SQLANY50\WIN32\dbclient.exe -c -x tcpip{myip=none;dobroadcast=no;host=10.10.1.10} {/snip} So what is the ValueName that holds the value string (ValueData) you specify? Without the ValueName I cannot proceed. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	adagost, Also, the string you provided seems to be incomplete. Should there not be a second " in there? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	adagost, We (Les, Rad, Jens, etc.) could throw a script together and post it up for you to take away. In other words, use resources and put together information. Put another way, we want you to learn. When we say to RTFM, use FAQ UDF Sections.. Utilize Search features to look for specific things: Registry Replace String Read Write I think one of the most important exercises I went through was to dig into the sample scripts that Ruud was so kind to provide. Start with the TEST.KIX.. Before we get off too much of a tangent here... Let's "boil the broth off of the soup" and see what we have? Like I was taught in Management, we need to break things into bite-sized chunks. (1) What is the goal? Read in a Registry string, change it and replace. (2) How do we do this? We need to replace a string and add it back in to the registry. (3) Testing and execution. What is our environment? NT/W9x, Kixtart version, etc. Will the users have rights to do this? Does it break? Do we need some SLEEP statments? So, taking this we can put together the following.. Reading a value from the Registry, how do we do that? READVALUE Wait.. We need to test to see if the value is what need otherwise RETURN.. Use a string Function like INSTR to do so. How do use that for our operations? Assign it a value? Great, we now have a value we read in from the registry.. Now what? Let's use the Replace UDF listed.. With the resulting variable from the Replace UDF, write the value back to the registry. Does this help lay out the gameplan a bit better? Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	as looking to the thread... I think it actually is whole bunch of values thus making the whole contents of a key. so, must ask: what the valuenames are? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Jooel, Trawling through the posts we find it is a REG_SZ and is: quote: Start "C:\SQLANY50\WIN32\dbclient.exe -c -x tcpip{myip=none;dobroadcast=no;host=10.10.1.10} From what he is asking for, he wants to change 10.10.1.10 to something like 10.10.32.10.
