SySAM grace mode

Description

What to do

Adaptive Server does

If the edition and license type configuration parameters are not set, Adaptive Server uses

not start with the

the first available ASE_CORE license. If you have multiple ASE_CORE licenses with

expected edition or

different editions and license types, which license is the first available depends on many

license type

factors such as license file directory sort order, available licenses on the license server, and

 

so on.

 

Because what edition and license type is granted cannot be guaranteed, Sybase

 

recommends that you set the edition and license type configuration parameters. When

 

these parameters are set, you are assured that Adaptive Server starts with that

 

configuration. If a matching license were to be unavailable, Adaptive server starts under

 

grace (if available) to allow you to resolve the licensing issue.

 

 

Adaptive Server does

When Adaptive Server looks for a license, it does so in the following locations:

not pick the correct

• Any saved values in the registry on Windows platforms, or the .flexlmrc file on UNIX

license

platforms. Use "lmpath -status"to view the saved values.

 

 

• The values set for SYBASE_LICENSE_FILE and LM_LICENSE_FILE environment

 

variables.

 

• All license files (any file with a .lic extension) in the licenses directory under the

 

SYSAM-2_0 directory.

 

All of the above locations are searched in the order specified until a suitable license is

 

found. When a directory is specified, license files in that directory are loaded in the

 

directory sort order.

 

The first license that matches the feature name, version, edition, and license type filter is

 

used. This license may not be what you were expecting to use. Adjust the above locations

 

to control this.

 

 

SySAM grace mode

If Adaptive Server cannot find a required license, it continues to operate in grace mode, if a grace period is available. Determine the license status of Adaptive Server using the output from sp_lmconfig. The Status column in the output shows graced for any license that is operating in grace.

The Adaptive Server errorlog includes information about licenses awarded under grace. If e-mail notifications are set up for warning severity, e-mail messages are sent for this event. See “Enabling and changing e-mail notifications” on page 99 for more information.

The warnings in the Adaptive Server errorlog and e-mail message are repeated while the license is under grace.

This version builds upon its predecessors, offering improved features and enhancements that cater to both enterprises and developers.

One of the standout features of Sybase 15.0.2 is its advanced performance capabilities. The version introduces optimization enhancements such as the Query Optimizer, which is designed to ensure efficient execution of complex queries. This optimizer analyzes SQL statements and tables to choose the most efficient means of retrieval, thus reducing execution time and improving the overall performance of the database.

Sybase 15.0.2 supports improved scalability, allowing organizations to handle increased workloads without significant changes to their infrastructure. This scalability is crucial for businesses experiencing growth, as it ensures that performance remains consistent and reliable.

Another notable characteristic is the robust security architecture integrated within Sybase 15.0.2. The system includes features like data encryption, user authentication, and authorization mechanisms, making it suitable for environments that handle sensitive information. Database administrators can implement fine-grained access controls to manage user permissions effectively.

Moreover, Sybase 15.0.2 boasts support for a wide range of programming languages and frameworks. This versatility allows developers to build applications using their preferred tools, promoting productivity and ease of integration into existing systems. The database management system also supports various platforms, including Windows and UNIX, enabling diverse deployments across different environments.

In addition to these technological enhancements, Sybase 15.0.2 emphasizes data integrity through its robust transaction management system. It implements the ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) to ensure that all database transactions are processed reliably, thereby maintaining the integrity of data even in high-transaction scenarios.

In conclusion, Sybase 15.0.2 is a feature-rich RDBMS that combines performance, scalability, security, and flexibility. Its advanced capabilities not only enhance data management for organizations but also provide a solid foundation for developers seeking to create efficient and secure applications. The improvements in this version make it a compelling choice for enterprises looking to optimize their database operations in an increasingly data-driven world.
