Sql Anywhere v11 with 5 seats

Hello,
I have a peculiar problem. I have SqlAnywhere v11 with 5 seats. I have been using it since 8/10/2009. And recently the machine where we housed everything crashed completely. Now I am stock. And I need to deploy the application with the database. I don't have the software anywhere else. I contacted the vendor Programmer's Paradise (Alias TechXtend). They were able to justify my order number and invoice. But they don't have the product anywhere for me to get. SAP recommended that I raise the issue here. Is there any help out there?
Placide.

Hi Placide,
If the original vendor doesn't have the software available, I don't believe you will be able to obtain this software. SQL Anywhere 11 was end-of-life'd, prior to the SAP acquisition of Sybase.
SQL Anywhere 16 / SQL Anywhere 12 are available via the SAP Store. For details on this, see this question on the SQL Anywhere forum.

PocketBuilder 2.5.2 and SQL Anywhere 12

Hi all,
I have a Windows Mobile device . It should run SQL Anywhere 12 with Pocket Builder 2.5.2. But at the start on the mobile device always get the message that the driver dbodbc10.dll missing . Where can I set that the driver of ASA 12 should be taken ? Or does this not work with ASA 12 .
Thanks for help.
André Rust

Hello Andre,
PocketBuilder 2.5.x is not supported and no longer sold anymore. Moreover, it has not been tested against ASA 12:
Software used for database connection
You might try what is explained below from link SyBooks Online (Archive)
Connecting to a SQL Anywhere database
By default, PocketBuilder runtime applications on the Windows CE device use
the PKODB25.DLL dynamic link library to connect to SQL Anywhere data
sources through the SQL Anywhere version 10 ODBC driver (dbodbc10.dll).
You can specify a different ODBC driver by including the
driver=dbodbcX.dll parameter in your DBPARM
ConnectString assignment or in the file data source, where X is
the version number of the ODBC driver for Adaptive Server Anywhere or SQL
Anywhere.
For example, to use the Adaptive Server Anywhere 9 ODBC driver on the Windows
CE device, you can use the following DBPARM:
SQLCA.DBPARM="ConnectString='DSN=myDSN;driver=dbodbc9.dll;UID=dba;PWD=sql'"
CONNECT using SQLCA;
SQLCA is the default connection object in all PocketBuilder environments.
In all runtime environments, the connect string for the DBPARM parameter must
not include spaces other than those in the data source name (DSN). The DSN you
assign must exist in the root directory on the Windows CE device or emulator.
When you install the complete PocketBuilder runtime package to the device or
emulator (rather than just the runtime DLLs), the ASA 9.0 Sample.DSN file
is added to the root directory. Instead of using the ConnectString DBPARM to set
the driver name, you can modify ASA 9.0 Sample.DSN, or any other DSN file
that you use, so that it includes an assignment for the database driver:
[ODBC] enginename=asademo databasename=asademo databasefile=\Program Files\Sybase\ASA\asademo.db start=\Program Files\Sybase\ASA\dbsrv9.exe Driver=dbodbc9.dll
If you are using the ASA Sample database that is migrated to SQL Anywhere 10,
you can deploy the DemoDB_SA10.DSN file with your application. The
PocketBuilder setup program installs this DSN file in the PocketBuilder
Code Examples\SADemoData\SA10 directory. The DSN file sets the the
databse file to \Program Files\SQLAny10\ASADemo_10.db, and the driver
name to dbodbc.dll.
SQL Anywhere requires that DSN files be saved in ANSI format rather than
Unicode format.
If you are running your PocketBuilder applications from the desktop, it is
recommended that you use the actual name of the driver (for example, “Adaptive
Server Anywhere 9.0”) in a ConnectString DBPARM rather than the name of the DLL.
Otherwise, the driver you select in the connection string might be ignored.

Also, does anyone know how to determine the location (full path) of the unixODBC driver manager ?
Please assist if you can...thx.
Edited by: user601798 on Oct 15, 2012 3:37 PM

Let me start with the unixODBC driver:
There's no generic location as it depends which package you've used to install the UnixODBC driver manager or how you compiled it from scratch. I commonly prefer to compile it from scratch as this offers me to install it to any location I like.
If you're not sure where it is located, you could perform a search on your machine looking for libodbc.so. Then cross check it with "file <location>/libodbc.so" to see the lib is a 64bit library.
So let's assume in the /usr/lib64 you found the libodbc.so library, then the setting
HS_FDS_SHAREABLE_NAME=/usr/lib64/libodbc.so
is correct. Else you need to adopt the parameter.
Next step is to check out which unixODBC version is installed. That's commonly done by calling "odbcinst -j".
Looking now ta the gateway init file there's a parameter HS_NLS_NCHAR set to UTF-8. UnixODBC is commonly compiled with UCS2 support, so please change it to HS_NLS_NCHAR=UCS2
Could you also please post the content of the odbc.ini file "more /etc/odbc.ini"?
Thanks,
Klaus

Sybase with ase and sql anywhere 16 using ssma

ok this may sound like a very dumb question but how does one connect to sybase central (sql 16 anywhere) using ssma.
In my ase connections when i do test connection it returns successful however when i click on ssma > connect to sybase it returns
ERROR [08001] [SAP][ASE ODBC Driver]Client unable to establish a connection
i have my network server running on sybase using sql anywhere 16 network server.
I also had my firewalls off
any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jeff ,
Thank you so much for the reply.
I have used 32 bit PHP.
But now we have resolved above mentioned issue. Now we can connect PHP with SQL Anywhere successfully.

Problems with JConnect, Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.x

Hi
I use Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.x, Apache Server, Apache Jserver.(WINNT)
I must to write servlet, which connects to Sybase database using JConnect.
When database is on the same host as Apache server, and my servlet i run services:
Open Server Gateway (dbos50.exe <server_name>), where server_name in sql.ini is
"master=NLWNSCK,x.x.x.x,8001" (x.x.x.x is my IP)
Standalone Engine (dbeng50.exe <path to the database>)
And all is ok
But I don't known, what to do, when my database is on other host, neither my servlet(aplication and JConnect)
Which services I must run on Host, where database is?
Which services I must run on Host, where JConnect and servlet(aplication) are?
Must I use Cascade Gateway or TDS tunneling?
Can you help me?
Thanks.

Hi,
I need to connect to Sybase SQL Anywhere version 5.5.05, too, but I can't find the driver to connect to the server, could u tell me about this? Please share it with if available.
thanks.

SQL Anywhere Licenses v9 with v16 and v16 with v9

Have a customer running Sybase SQL Anywhere v9.
They currently have nine networked client licenses.
They need an additional seven.
The current SAP license offering is v16 networked client licenses.
Will v16 networked client licenses work with v9 SQL Anywhere?
Additionally,
The customer will eventually upgrade to SQL Anywhere v16.
Will their current v9 networked client licenses work with SQL Anywhere v16?
Thanks.

Hi George,
I believe that the client needs to buy or upgrade (if this is possible) the available licenses to the last version to be legal... If your question is about using asa 9 client to connect in a v. 16 server, then the answer is, it should work, but only functionality from asa 9 will be available in the client side. Actually, in the past we had an issue, where a 3rd party application was not able to communicate with an sql anywhere server v.11 using v.11 client. But it was working fine to connect using obbc client from asa 8! We do have a cpu license which has no limit on the clients... So we used asa 8 to connect through the 3rd party app, and 11 client to connect through our application.
And the remaining question is if it's legal or not... and I'm not the appropriate person to give an answer...
Andreas.

Trouble with SQL Anywhere 16

We are having an issue with SQL Anywhere 16 and were wondering if there is a patch/fix or something that we need to look elsewhere. Our tester is being kicked out of out Sybase application whenever doing certain types of queries and as a result the database is being shutdown. We then have to go back into Sybase 16 and restart the database. We do not recall having this problem with SQL Anywhere 11.5. We have just recently upgraded to SQL Anywhere 16.

Hi Lawrence,
I think there's some confusion from both groups on this question. There was never a SQL Anywhere 11.5 version - we had SQL Anywhere 11.0.0, and SQL Anywhere 11.0.1. There was an ASE 11.5 and ASE 16.0 release though, so it is confusing to know which product you are inquiring about based on the version.
Please provide some further details about which product you are using, the method in which you're using to start your database, and the connection strings that you're using. Hopefully with some more specific database configuration information, we can help you figure out which database product you're looking for additional help on and provide some suggestions.
Thanks,

Issues connecting to a SQL Anywhere repo from the Designer

I have installed DS4.2 SP2 on a number of Suse 11.1 Linux VMs using all of the standard settings, and making use of the bundled SQL Anywhere database as my repo.
I am getting an error in the Designer when I try to connect to certain repositories in the Login screen, but the problem is not happening on all installations.
The error is an ODBC message:
ERROR: ODBC call <SQLDriverConnect> to connect database <DS_REPO> failed with error: <[Sybase][SQL Anywhere]Database server not found>. Use the ODBCDriverSelector (Windows) or DSConnectionManager,sh (UNIX) utility in LINK_DIR/bin to configure the correct version of the driver.....(BODI-1112172)
I have checked both the ODBCDriverSelector on the machine running the Designer and DSConnectionManager on the server, and the drivers are all correct for SQL Anywhere 12. I can also successfully connect to the database from the Windows Repository Manager - the only problem is with the Designer.
I have tried adding an ODBC entry in the System DSNs for the repo database, and again I can successfully test the connection - but this hasn't fixed my issue, and the Designer can connect (when it can connect) even if a DSN isn't defined.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.

I have a solution - in the CMC, set the repo to use DNS. You need to first create an appropriate entry in the <install dir>/sap_bobj/enterprise_xi40/odbc.ini and then create an equivalent entry on your client ODBC settings.

How to connect to SQL Anywhere db dynamically - No ODBC -

Hello all -
We have an application (c++) with several reports (crystal 10) that are dynamically connected to several access databases depending on the users request. We are now moving that application to .net (c#) and SQL Anywhere 11. I am able to create an odbc connection and use that connection to develop reports against the new database, but am unable to locate any information on how a connection can be established on the fly to run the report against different database instances. Can this be done dynamically from the application preferably with ADO.net? How? Where Can I find documentation supporting this?
Thanks in advance for you assistance,
Shawn

PHP odbc_connect on a running SQL Anywhere 16 server

Hello,
please help with the following php odbc_connect problem:
On my local machine (win 7, 64 bits) is a running SQL Anywhere 16 database. Started with
dbeng16.exe -c 8m -n xx_test "G:\DEMOS\xx\DB16\test.db"
In the ODBC manager then created a ODBC connection (xxdsn).
But the connection from PHP 5.3.8 fails:
$verbindung = odbc_connect('xxdsn', 'dba', 'sql');
It shows
Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Datenbankserver nicht gefunden, SQL state 08001 in SQLConnect in verbindung.php on line 4
The database is definitively runnig. Tested by opening an odbc connection from isql.
When I create an odbc connection on a database file, I can make an php odbc_connect.
This problem is only on the Win 7 machine and also with SQL Anywhere 12.
When I try the same on a (32 bits) XP machine it runs fine.
Please help, to find my mistake.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Peter

SQL Anywhere 11 databases are getting corrupt

Hi
We are having problems with databases that are getting corrupted.
We have a server that runs a SQL Anywhere 11 database. (the consolidated database)
Beside that, we have about 15 remote databases that run on the laptops of our mobile workforces.
To keep all databases in sync, we have setup a two-way server-to-laptop replication.
For the replication process we use “SQL Remote”.
Each laptop should replicate his data once in about 1 or 2 weeks.
For exchanging the messages we use the message type “file”.
This year we already experienced 6 times that a remote database got corrupt after replication. (after running dbremote.exe).
The log file of the dbremote utility does NOT show any errors, the replication seems to be finished without any problems.
But after this, it’s not possible anymore to connect to the database, because of the following assertion error:
[Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Internal database error *** ERROR *** Assertion failed: 201501 (11.0.1.2376)
Page 0x0:0x7182d1 for requested record not a table page -- transaction rolled back
Error code=-301
SQL state=HY000
Can someone tell me more about this error?
What goes wrong and why?
Or does someone has some tips on how to prevent this or tips on how I can do some analyzing myself to see what exactly got broken in the database?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Krenton,
Page 0x0:0x7182d1 for requested record not a table page -- transaction rolled back
Error code=-301
SQL state=HY000
Can someone tell me more about this error?
Specifically, the page at offset 0x7182d1 in database (So if you have a 4KB page size, this would be byte offset 7439057 x 4096 = 30470377472 into the database) in 0x0 (the main database running) has a page header that indicates that the data on the page is not table data. We don't know what it is, but the signature for table information connected to the table you're scanning is 'not as it should be'.
What goes wrong and why?
In the real world, lots of things can go wrong. I list some of the possible things on this question here on the SQL Anywhere forum. This list can include software bugs, but can also include instances where the media is not respecting write-through or write-ordering - see http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-34090 (SQL Anywhere I/O Requirements for Linux and Windows) for more details.
There are also known instances where Intel drivers are not set with the correct write-through settings. The details of this are in the documentation: DocCommentXchange (Improving Robustness on Intel storage drivers).
Technical Support should still provide assistance. If the problem is a newly-discovered bug in SQL Anywhere 11, their advice will be to apply a more recent EBF or upgrade to a new version. However, that is unlikely in this case.
Breck is correct - it would probably be best to take a look at the database file in technical support for more clues as to what's happening here. With the current information, it's hard to say more than "something was not correct at the time the page was looked at by the database server."

SQL Anywhere 11 on Ubuntu / PHP

Hi there,
I have been trying (with no success) to connnect our PHP app to Sybase database.
Our actual scenario is:
Windows2003/ ODBC {SQL Anywhere 11 Driver} / PHP ------> Windows2008 / Sybase
We are to migrate our PHP:
Linux Ubuntu Server / UnixOBC {SQL Anywhere 11 ODBC Driver} / PHP -------> Windows2008 / Sybase
In the migration process I configured FreeTDS trying somethink like:
/etc/fretds/freetds.conf
[global]
    tds version = 4.2
    dump file = /tmp/freetds.log
;    debug flags = 0xffff
;    timeout = 10
;    connect timeout = 10
    text size = 64512
[sybase]
    host = 172.19.2.252
    port = 2640
;    instance = ek_cadu_0103040607
    tds version = 5.0
    ASA database = ek_adm01_11
php-script
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
$cnn = sybase_connect('sybase', 'dba', '_._ENKONTROL_._');
?>
This script shows the following errors:
Warning: sybase_connect(): message: SQL Anywhere Error -83: Specified database not found (severity 16) in /var/www/testodbc.php on line 4
Warning: sybase_connect(): General SQL Server error: Check messages from the SQL Server (severity 16) in /var/www/testodbc.php on line 4 Warning: sybase_connect(): Unable to connect to server: sybase in /var/www/testodbc.php on line 4
Can anyone help?. Thank you in advance.

Hi Marinho,
SQL Anywhere does not support FreeTDS. SQL Anywhere does support Open Client and jConnect connections over TDS.
The sybase_* functions pre-built with PHP are for (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE), not SQL Anywhere - they are separate products.
Is there a particular reason you're not using the SQL Anywhere PHP module ( http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40537 ), with the sasql_* functions that are intended for use with SQL Anywhere?

ODBC Error when migrating from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Anywhere 12

Hello community,
i have the following requirement:
I need to migrate a Database with some Demo data into a SQL Anywhere 12 Database. The SQL Anywhere 12 Database is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation and came with the same as OEM Product.
The Environment looks like the following:
DB1 is a MS SQL Server 2008 R2 64 Bit running on Windows Server 2008 R2 64 Bit.
DB2 is the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP7 installation with the shipped SQL Anywhere 12 (12.0.1.3873) Database running on SLES 11.3 64 Bit
CL1 is my Windows 7 64 Bit Client where Sybase Central is installed in 64 Bit. On CL1 i have a 64 Bit System ODBC Connection connecting to DB1 successfully.
Basically i followed the following (pretty straight forward) tutorial:
Migrating a SQL Server Database to SQL Anywhere White Paper-Technical: Mobile Enterprise, Database Management iAnywhere …
When i want to test the connection from inside Sybase Central (During the migration process) i receive the following error:
From inside Sybase Central my connection looks as follows:
And from the ODBC Manager the connection looks as follows:
Personally i found is strange that the Sybase ODBC Driver Manager drops the error. I would expect that the MS SQL ODBC Driver Manager pops the error it its related to the ODBC DSN to DB1.
Any ideas?
Thanks and Regards
-Seb.

Hi Sebastian,
The data from the SQL Server database must be migrated to an existing SQL Anywhere database. Could you please tell me where this SQL Anywhere database resides and how are you connecting to it?
The error message is saying that the connection to the SQL Anywhere remote database server is failing, as opposed to the connection to the SQL Server database.

How to db connect from SAP to SYBASE SQL anywhere 16 remotely

Hi All,
May i know can i connect to SYBASE SQL Anywhere16 from SAP running on kernel 7.42 via dbacockpit (dbco)?
I've followed note 1737415 - Sybase IQ: Enable remote/secondary connect to SAP Sybase IQ & 1532253 - SYB: Remote DB Monitoring for SAP Sybase ASE
but failed.
Where can i find the dbsl and its client for sybase sql anywhere? I only can find SAP ASE and SAP IQ on SMP. Is those compatible with SQL anywhere 16?
Thanks.
Nicholas

Hi Jason,
the error message is it complains minimun version for SAP IQ is 15.6, however our SQL anywhere is on version 16, above the support version as per note1737415 - Sybase IQ: Enable remote/secondary connect to SAP Sybase IQ
fyi, i'm using the latest sybase dbsl and SAPIQ 16 client.
Any idea or will it works to remotely connect SQL anywhere via dbacockpit?
Thanks,
Nicholas.

Reading data from Sybase SQL Anywhere 7 database to write into a SQL Server database

Hi,
I need to import data from a Sybase SQL Anywhere vers. 7 database. This RDBMS was used more 10-12 years ago. I want to write Sybase data into a SQL Server 2008 R2-2012 database. For testing purposes I'm using SQL Server 2005.
After that I've installed Sybase SQL Anywhere vers. 7 I can use the Adaptive Anywhere 7.0 ODBC. I'd like to use SSIS to import Sybase data, but I cannot create an OLE DB connection in a right manner while I can create and ODBC connection manager and so I
can use an Execute SQL task (and not a data flow task, unfortunately!).
Well, after using this Execute SQL task to read fe a table with thousands of data rows how can I write the entire data collection on a SQL Server table?
Thanks
