Need of archive Datbase in Sybase ASE

Hi guys,
Please let me know about Need of archive Datbase in Sybase ASE
theoretical i know what is the use of archive database ,but let me what is the purpose in practical development .
as theoretical i know that "We can access data from backup file without taking load/dump" .
How can i implement this in my real time environment .
Please help me to understand this topic deeply .
regards
abhishek

The Archive Database feature was implemented primarily to allow users to extract table data from a dump without having to do a full load of the dump, which is both slower and requires disk space (sometimes substantial amounts when the dump is for a very large database).
An example use case might be if a table was accidentally dropped but the business didn't want to revert the entire database back to the time of the last dump. Instead, the dump can be loaded as an archive database and just that table bcped out (or selected into a table in the main database). The data in that recovered table would be a bit stale compared to the rest of the database, but that might be preferable to losing hours of work.
Note that an alternative method for a more up to date recovery is possible if tran log dumps were being taken, the full dump could be loaded and then the tran log dumps up to the one covering the time where the table was dropped, that last tran dump could then be loaded using the "with until_time" option to just before the table was dropped.
There are other uses to Archive Databases, but access to object-level data without actually loading the full dump was the main business case for it.

Sybase ASE basics

Hello All,
I am new to sybase database ,I ma having some doubts in sybase database ,Please clarify below points
1) what is the phases involved while starting and stooping the database ( example in orcale Mount phase ,no mount phase etc)
2) I have read in some guides most of the datbase related parameters are dynamic there is no need to reboot the server .---these parameters storing location i mean what is the naming convention of file name ?
3) Sybase ase db configuration will store in DBSID.CFG file is that correct?
4) isql comand is case sensitive ?
5) to check missing stats execut isql -Usapsa -S<SID> -X -w999    here what is -w999 means and X also
Please sugegst and guide me

Hi
First of all, specific answers to your questions
1) what is the phases involved while starting and stooping the database ( example in orcale Mount phase ,no mount phase etc)
There is no such analogous in Sybase (I think), But as whenver ASE server starts (startserver -f RUN_servername) it checks the following areas
ASE_CORE license information
option "number of engines at startup"
Environment variables like 'SYBASE', 'SYBASE_OCS' 'SYBASE_ASE'
Configuration file located at cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/servername.cfg for using configuration information
ASE errorlog file located at cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/servername.log   for logging ASE messages
Allocates memory (for procedure cache which is similar to Oracle's Shared Pool)
Initializing virtual device 0, '/sybase/E10/sybsystem/master.dat' with dsync 'off'
Recovers master database and brings it online which is followed other system and user databases
2) I have read in some guides most of the datbase related parameters are dynamic there is no need to reboot the server .---these parameters storing location i mean what is the naming convention of file name ?
Here you mean the configuration file which is located at cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/servername.cfg
3) Sybase ase db configuration will store in DBSID.CFG file is that correct?
.cfg is the extension we give to recognize easily and the general naming convention is SERVERNAME.cfg
4) isql comand is case sensitive ?
Yes
5) to check missing stats execut isql -Usapsa -S<SID> -X -w999    here what is -w999 means and X also
isql : interactive sql
-U: user name
-S: server name
-w : width of the column, sets the screen width for output
-X: is used for client-side password encryption
The following may increase your understanding on Sybase ASE (considering, you are aware of Oracle RDBMS)
When you create an Oracle server both the SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces will be created and you cannot drop them thereafter.
When you create ASE, the system specific databases master, model, sybsystemprocs, sybsystemdb and tempdb will be created and you cannot drop them either.
ASE’s master database contains the server wide metadata sys and the dynamic monitoring MDA tables.
These tables are functionally equivalent to Oracle’s DBA and Dynamic Performance V$ Views respectively.
In a nutshell, master, model and sybsystemprocs databases are as vital to ASE as are SYSTEM, SYSAUX and control files for Oracle.
ASE’s tempdb database is equivalent in functionality to the Oracle’s temporary tablespace. ASE can have multiple tempdbs and these can be grouped much like Oracle 10g’s temporary tablespace groups.
Storage Concepts
In Oracle data block is the fundamental unit of storage whereas the basic unit of storage in ASE is data page.
Extent is the next unit of storage in ASE. Unlike Oracle where an extent is a specific number of contiguous data blocks, an ASE extent is fixed at eight contiguous data pages.
The smallest amount of space that a table or index can occupy is one extent.
Extents are always allocated to a table, index, or LOB structure.
The next logical unit of storage above the extent is the allocation unit. An allocation unit is fixed at thirty two extents.
Both Oracle and ASE provide logical constructs for mapping of the underlying operating system datafiles.
Oracle calls this construct a tablespace and ASE refers to the construct as device.
An ASE device, like an Oracle tablespace, is a logical structure
Most confusing part of data storage when it comes to ASE is the segment.
In Oracle, a segment is a group of one or more extents that contains all the data for a specific structure within a tablespace, such as table or index.
However, this is not the case in ASE. When an ASE database is created on devices or device fragments, three segments are automatically created on each corresponding device or device fragment.
In ASE the segments are there to constrain where an object can be placed.
For example, you can create a table or index on a specific segment. The system generated segments are called system, default and logsegment respectively. User defined segments can be added to devices if required.

Unable to install Client Tools for Sybase ASE 15.7 on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit

Hello Folks,
I just downloaded the client tools package from https://support.sap.com/swdc --> Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z list --> SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE --> SYBASE ASE 15.7 --> Installation --> Microsoft Windows --> 51044415.zip
I'm trying to install the client tools for a newly provisioned Windows 2012 64-Bit machine. After unzipping the folder and running autorun, the installation does not proceed. When I go to pcclient64 and run either setup.exe or setupConsole.exe, I get the error "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit, Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)". I stumbled across various posts on the forum, and it appears that the installer is not certified for Windows Server 2012. I tried using the compatibility mode for Windows 7, and it proceeds further and launches the SAP GUI; however, it closes afterwards.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
51044415 is a PC-Client 15.7 refresh.
You are using a version that was not certified with Windows 2012. Get the most current version PC-Client 15.7 SP130 or SDK 15.7 SP130 or SP132.
If your looking for PC-Client5.7 SP130 look for EBF23439
We didn't get certified with Windows 2012 until SDK 15.7 ESD#6 even with that I reported a few minor issues.
You need the following on the machine before the installation.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)

Sybase ASE to Oracle 11g conversion

Hi,
Can anyone please look at the following Sybase ASE to Oracle 11g conversion - the top remarked code is the original Sybase version and the two UPDATE blocks below are hopefully doing the same task... What I need to know is if there is a more simple (less code change) way of doing the same task, either as a single UPDATE or preferably even more similar to the original Sybase code..?
-- /* now apply allocations */
-- update diary_items
-- set id_user = ia.id_user ,
-- tx_icon_user = 'urlcats:/user_grey.gif?method:getAllocationInfo'
-- from diary_items di,
-- item_allocation ia
-- where di.id_diary_item = ia.id_object
-- and ia.id_object_type = 'W'
-- and ia.id_user != 'autocats'
-- OK!
-- ??? Need to check if second UPDATE which is the same as above is required again...
/* now apply notes */
UPDATE diary_items
SET diary_items.tx_icon_user =
( SELECT 'urlcats:/user_grey.gif?method:getAllocationInfo'
FROM item_allocation
WHERE item_allocation.id_object = diary_items.id_diary_item )
WHERE EXISTS
( SELECT item_allocation.id_object
FROM item_allocation
WHERE item_allocation.id_object = diary_items.id_diary_item
AND item_allocation.id_object_type = 'W'
AND item_allocation.id_user != 'autocats' )
UPDATE diary_items
SET diary_items.id_user =
( SELECT item_allocation.id_user
FROM item_allocation
WHERE item_allocation.id_object = diary_items.id_diary_item )
WHERE EXISTS
( SELECT item_allocation.id_object
FROM item_allocation
WHERE item_allocation.id_object = diary_items.id_diary_item
AND item_allocation.id_object_type = 'W'
AND item_allocation.id_user != 'autocats' )
Many thanks!!!

I managed to work it out in the end - here's the solution...
/* now apply allocations */
update diary_items
set ( id_user,
tx_icon_user ) =
( select ia.id_user,
'urlcats:/user_grey.gif?method:getAllocationInfo'
from diary_items di,
item_allocation ia
where di.id_diary_item = ia.id_object
and ia.id_object_type = 'W'
and ia.id_user != 'autocats'
)

SSL On Sybase ASE 15.7

Anybody got experience with implementing SSL on Sybase ASE 15.7 SP100 or higher?
I'm especially interested in performance impact of using SSL (especially with openssl)
With SSL opening the connection is slightly longer, but not really an issue so far.
But how does it work on a busy ASE server?
Will it cause significant extra load on the ASE?
Does it require changing some configuration options? like increasing additional network memory?
The commands to create self signed certificate with openssl, adding the certificate with sp_ssladmin and add the SSL listener is not that well documented
Main thing I noticed on ASE 15.7 SP122 I had to run this before I could add the certificate:
exec sp_ssladmin 'setcipher', 'All'
Check with: exec sp_ssladmin lscipher
if no rows returned, SSL will not work.
Config option "enable ssl" is static, so I bounced the ASE server.
After that adding the ssltcp listener with sp_listener "start", "ssltcp:host:port" was not working.
Every time got the same error: the specified port xxx is invalid
Bouncing the ASE server solved that issue, listener started fine.
what's your experience with openssl and Sybase ASE?

Hi,
The issue you had was probably the type of cipher you are using.
ASE default preference may not allow that.
ASE doc using lsciphers and setciphers:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc36273.1600/doc/html/san1393052092403.html
ASE doc performance (old, but can give you an idea):
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.dc31654_1251/html/sag/sag505.htm
Also, when starting a listener you can run the command sp_listener,
you can also add this to the interface file and bounce the server (as you have to already to enable ssl).
Example:
ASE
     master tcp either host port ssl
     query tcp ether host port ssl
ASE2
     master tcp ether host port
     query tcp either host port
This will give you 1 ssl port and 1 non ssl port.
FYI ssl port needs the alias name to be the common name(CN) in the ssl certificate or you have to configure this in the interfaces file also.
ASE doc using ssl to specify a common name:

Sap HA installation with Sybase Ase 15.7 (Clustered Environment)

Dear Guru's,
I need advice and suggestions on installation for Sap HA systems on production servers with sybase .
System Specs:
OS:Windows 2008 R2
Database :Sybase ASE 15.7
EHP6
I have referred the note 1650511 and getting started with Sybase Database but its just basic info .I need to know how the clustering will be done with Sybase Ase 15.7 and is it possible??
Appreciate your suggestions

Hi Asim,
1. Datafiles & log files assignment while installation According to the HW partition size for production servers we have assigned 3 data files of 250 gb each in different drives on a server
The existing export we are trying to take is from development system where we have upgraded the stack and compo.nents to latest level so we are planning to take the export copy of for database instance and
the database itself is Syabse Ase 15.7.And at this phase screen according to the screen by default the system ask to assign 102 gb for datafiles and log files 1gb Minimum , so in that case can we no t
assign more log file size .However we have not started the installation and we will expereince the same as we have done on Develeopment and quality system which is central sap system and we need to confirm we if can do for production HA system installation
Yes, you may assign more space in advance to datafiles and log file. What the screen shows is the minimum required space to successfully complete the import.
2.On the other hand , If we are doing fresh HA installation ,it will ask for 90 GB datafile and 10 G by default to assign and in this how we going to assign and split in 3 different drives which is of 150 GB
each.
Your Development system has been patched to latest level. Hence there is change in database size in development as compared to fresh HA setup where no patches have been applied. You may add 3 datafiles in each of these drives and assign the size which you prefer. Ensure its more than 10GB.
3.Getting confused in assigning the CI DI ,ERS ,ASCS on node 1 and node 2.
You may follow this simple approach
Node 1: DB + ERS + CI
Node 2: ASCS + DI
4.Is it good decision to do fresh HA installation on production server and lateron upgrade the stack level or does it matter if do system copy as it will save the time .
There is no issue in going with system copy approach as it will save time. If you are not comfortable with system copy method and do not have good command on DB, I shall suggest you to go with fresh installation and then apply patches. This way you are sure there is no junk coming to your production . In system copy , In case your source system has some junk data, the same might get transferred to production.
Hope this helps.

Hi
Thanks for the information.
I debugged the problem a little more.
Looks like this is what's happening. If you look
at the stack trace, one of the functions on the stack
is "internalGetEJBObject". What I've here is a ejb-local-ref.
Looking at the source code for EntityContainer,
shouldn'nt it be doing a
"internalgetEJBLocalObject" or something like that.
This is a bean with both remote and local interfaces.
Just to verify, I removed the remote interfaces from
the bean and it works fine. Looks like a bug to me
when lookup occurs using a ejb-local-ref on a bean
with both remote and local interfaces. Sample
is just a local bean.
Please let me know if you need more information
thanks

Sybase ASE & BODS connectivity issue

Datastore creation give server not found error with Sybase ASE.
Unable to create a data store when use Sybase ASE database Tried different combination of DB Server name like server name, server name + port number, IP, & IP + port number. It giving me same error all the time..
Tested connection is ODBC it work fine but same config from same server it gives me following error....
Can you help us my your valuable comment on this issue..
WARNING: Cannot establish database connection.
'Sybase connection error: <Sybase CS Library message number
<101188867> Serevity <5>: Message Text is ct_connect():

Do you want to save this datastore anyway?
Thanks

The following is the result of quite a bit of trial-and-error on a contract in Miami a couple of months ago.
If you don't already have it, you need to obtain and install Sybase's "PC Client," aka "Adaptive Server Enterprise PC Client". In my case, I used ver. 15.7. This software gets installed on the DS job servers. You may want it on your local workstation, too, to be able to roam around in the ASE's data.
In Data Services, I assume you've created a datastore using DS's native ASE driver. (I.e., don't use ODBC.)
Find and run the "Open Client Directory Service Editor," one of a slew of gizmos which comes w/ the PC Client.
Pick "Interfaces Driver" (likely the only thing you can pick). You'll get a blank, intimidating-looking "DSEDIT1" window.
Right-click in the "Server" pane on the left and select "Add...".
For the "Server Name," I think it's likely safest & sanest to just use the host name of the server, and suggest you use that.
Then, you'll have the server you added, on the left, and a grid of attribute-and-value pairs on the right. Modify the Server Address, and you'll get a "Network Address Attribute" window. Click "Add". Select "TCP" as the protocol, and enter the address in the format "hostname, port", as in this example:
asehost1.somecompany.com, 10100
ASE listens on port 10100 by default, I think, but your system may be elsewhere. For me, the DS datastore then worked just fine.
Good luck!

High Availability Concepts in Sybase ASE

Hi,
I want to perform the log shipping and database mirroring process for Sybase ASE. I finished the Replication system for ASE using Replication server. But I need to know about log shipping and database mirroring too. Anybody know about those. Thank you

Hi,
You need Sybase Replication Server for this. This is a separate product and requires to become familiar in order to build your first Replication environment. There are some videos on youtube (SAP D&T I think, I am afraid this moment youtube is cut off for me)

Oracle to SAP Sybase ASE Migration

Hi
We are planing to migrate Solution Manger 7.1.
Source : OS- HP-UX , DB - Oracle 11g
Target : OS - SUSE Linux , DB - SYBASE ASE 15.7
Can we migrate using normal system copy method ( heterogeneous) using SPM toool or is there any specific procedure/ steps need to follow ?
Thanks
Shashi

Hi Shashi,
You need to use SWPM tool and Heterogenous system copy to perform this migration.
You may need to read some notes related to Sybase as mentioned below

DBA Cockpit Sybase ASE - Access Plan not displayed

Hello,
We are running SAP ECC 740 on Sybase ASE 15.7, I'd previously used DBA Cockpit to view access plans for queries prior to our ECC upgrade. Since upgrading to 740 DBA Cockpit has had a facelift, and now I can't see an Access Plan when I try clicking "Show Plan" on the cached statements or when I try clicking EXPLAIN in ST05 - I just get a red cross (see attached image).
Does anyone have any ideas about how to view the access plan? If I try a Runtime Explain I get a blue spinning half-a-loop and it just sits spinning and never displays anything.
Thanks, Chris

Where are the Sybase ASE 15.7 client downloads for 64bit?

Have spend a lot of time finding the latest and greatest downloads of the Sybase ASE 15.7 Client for 64bit. The one I could find (Refresh version (Which version is this anyway?)). But i need also the EBF/SP 's
Please advice

Hi,
You can find the downloads at SAP service market place.
SAP Service Marketplace - Home
Click SAP Support Portal (middle of the screen)
Click Software Downloads (grey top menu bar)
Click Support Packages and Patches (middle of the screen under A-Z index)
Select 'S'
Select 'SDK for SAP ASE'
This is the location for the latest downloads.
Older downloads can be found in 'SY Software Developer Kit'
I believe refresh is the PC Client that includes SDK and GUI tools for windows.
Go back to the A-Z letter screen.
Select 'Installation and Upgrades'
This can be found under 'A'
Click 'SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise'
Refresh is around SP100 I believe.
Not 100% on the exact version, but this is one of the last PC Client downloads as it is being EOL.
Sybase Central that came in PC Client is EOL.
DBISQL / interactive SQL is being moved to the SDK in 16.x.
Regards,
Ryan

How to download Sybase ASE SDK?

Hi,
I am trying to install Sybase ASE ODBC driver for Windows on one of our test machine.
According to this "http://www.sybase.com.sg/products/archivedproducts/odbc", ODBC driver is now a part of SDK product.
For downloading SDK from http://downloads.sybase.com/swd/summary.do, requires a a Technical Support Contact registered with MySybase.
Can someone please guide, how we can register with Sybase for this product? Do we need to procure a license and only the will this service be available?
Thanks for your clarification and time.

Hi Amal,
There is a trial/free version of the SDK up on the site currently.
Go here: http://scn.sap.com/community/downloads
There is an article titled "The SCN Download Center is Now on the SAP Store: What's New?"
In this article there is a link to the SAP store click it
Than do a search for "SAP SDK for Adaptive Server Enterprise"
Click the free trial and it will ask for your information and send you an email.
From the link you get you should see a list of the SDKs.
Thanks,
Dawn

Backup Sybase ASE

Dear All Expert
I really new in sybase ASE, I need create backup for sybase but when I run comment "dump database" from dbacockpit and os level, its not working, getting error message "stripe device "/backup/sybase/SED/SED.dmp" with error number 13 (Permission denied)"
I already set device "/backup/sybase/SED/SED.dmp" with permission "nobody:nogroup" but still got same error.
please help me solving this case
Thanks
*note
os : linux suse 11 sp 3
db version : sybase 16
sap version : ehp 7

I'm not sure what you mean by "nobody:nogroup". If, from the OS, you do
ls -l /backup/sybase/SED/SED.dmp
what does that show?
From one of my own standalone (not part of an SAP application installation) ASE servers.where I start ASE and Backupserver from my account "bret" which is part of the group "Sybase", the permissions look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 bret sybase 1155072 Dec 31 13:12 db1.dmp
The backupserver needs read and write permissions on the dump file for the account that is running the backupserver.
-bret

Sybase ASE 11.9 to SQL Server 2012/2014 Data Migration

I am given a task of migrating the Sybase ASE 11.9 server databases to SQL Server 2012/2014.
We have Sybase server installed on Windows server 2000.
We are going to setup a SQL Server 2012 on another server machine.
We are planning the migration using SSMA Version 6.0.
My questions are as below:
1. Do i need to install the SSMA Sybase Client tool on both the servers?
2. The database is quite huge, so they want us to perform the migration on a Copy of Sybase database. Is it possible?
Also please let me know what are the requirements for all this process so we can take care of it before doing actual migration.

Hi Lydia ,
Thanks a lot for making it clear to me.
So as per my understanding i will install both the client
application of SSMA for Sybase and the
Server extension pack on Windows Server 2012.
So, if i can access the Sybase Server from Windows Server 2012(Sql Server Destination) then no
need to install the client application of SSMA for Sybase on Windows Server 2000(Sybase
Source).
Thanks
