CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server

1Once you have ordered a Sybase product you receive a welcome e-mail that contains a URL to the SPDC site, as well as a user name and password.

Note If you have purchased your Sybase software from a Sybase reseller, you will receive a web key rather than an e-mail.

2Click on the URL, and when prompted, enter the designated user name and password. Your login is typically your e-mail address. If you have forgotten your password, use the password finder on the SPDC login page.

Getting your host ID

To get your host ID:

1Change to %SYBASE%\SYSAM-2_0\bin. Where %SYBASE% is the Sybase installation directory.

2Enter:

./lmutil lmhostid

lmutil lmhostid

Note On some platforms, the host ID is derived from the network adapter address. If your machine has multiple network adapters, lmutil lmhostid returns one host ID for each network adapter. The output may look similar to:

The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is ""0013023c8251 0015c507ea90""

Only use ONE from the list of hostids.

Choose one of these host IDs. Sybase recommends using the value associated with the primary wired Ethernet adapter. Do not use values associated with internal loop back adapters. If you cannot determine which host ID to use from the lmutil lmhostid output, use the native operating system command to get additional details to help make the determination. See to the SPDC FAQ titled ,“What’s my Host ID,” or “Appendix A” of the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for the exact commands for your platform.

3Save the host ID so you can use it later at SPDC. Your host ID is platform-specific, but may be similar to:

15.0.2 specifications

Sybase 15.0.2, a product of the Sybase corporation (now SAP), is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that provides robust solutions for data management, security, and performance. 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.
