CE85 on Solaris - Sybase

[Naith]

The APS db on Solaris is supported in Oracle 8, 8i, and 9i, and IBM DB2. Has anyone had any experiences with getting it to run in Sybase 12?

Thanks,

Naith

Naith,

I am not sure what drivers are used to run the APS. If the p2ssyb10.dll is used (Crystals Sybase driver) then you will probably have better luck if you switch to an OLDER driver (our APS is running on SQL server). Yeah.. I know.. but I report off sybase and all the drivers past 8.0.0.10 have had one flake or another, usually resulting in designer crashes - esp with datetime paramters and SP's. Sometimes everything looks fine, but there just isn't any data returned. This is now a known and documented bug after I spent a month trying to get them to admit their driver was bad (although try to find a list of "known and documented bugs"! rofl!).

Anyway, if the APS uses this driver, you probably would want to try the older driver. If you can't find it, post your email here and I will send it to you.

Thanks Lisa. That'd be superb. Zip it up and send it to naith@angelic.com

I'm trying to resolve a few issues with my server at the moment, so send it on the 5th.

Thanks again,

Naith

I sent it today. Please let me know here if this solved your problem. We may be switching DB's with 8.5 since we can switch the server to one of our solaris boxes.

Thanks

Okay I tried to send it... your mail box is full. Let me know when you have cleared it out .

Thanks Lisa,

I got hold of the a version of the driver over the weekend, but didn't have much joy trying to forcefeed it to the APS.

My client decided to go with the default SQL server.

CE does not support Sybase as an APS system database on Unix. Only on NT.
