Take the following steps to be sure you can connect to a remote server:
Determine that you can connect to a remote server using a client tool such as Interactive SQL before configuring SQL Anywhere.
Perform a simple passthrough statement to a remote server to check your connectivity and remote login configuration. For example:
FORWARD TO RemoteSA {SELECT @@version};
Turn on remote tracing for a trace of the interactions with remote servers. For example:
SET OPTION cis_option = 7;
Once you have turned on remote tracing, the tracing information appears in the Server Messages window. You can log this output to a file by specifying the -o server option when you start the database server.
For more information about the cis_option option, see cis_option option [database].
For more information about the -o server option, see -o server option.
