CHAPTER 2 Installing Adaptive Server

6Once you’ve determined the license you wish to generate, select it via the Generate radio button on the left side of the screen. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and click Select to Generate.

7Step one of the SySAM license generation wizard asks you to choose between a served license and an unserved license. If you choose a served license, continue with the steps in “Generating a served license” on page 19, and if you choose an unserved license, continue with the steps in “Generating an unserved license” on page 20.

Note Some Sybase Products or specific license types do not give you a choice of license model to use, and therefore do not display this page. If this is the case, proceed with the SySAM license generation wizard to generate your license.

Generating a served license

To generate a served license:

1Select Served License and click Next.

2Indicate the quantity of licenses you wish to generate and click Next.

3Enter the License Server Host ID and optionally the host name and port number.

a Sybase recommends that you provide the host name here to ease future license administration.

b A port number is not required unless you are using a 3-node redundant cluster. A valid number is any unused port number between 0 and 64000. On UNIX, choose a port greater than 1024, since those less than 1024 are privileged port numbers. If no TCP/IP port number is specified, one of the default ports in the range of 27000 and 27009 is used.

c If you want to generate a license for a 3-node redundant cluster, then you must specify the host ID, host name, and port number for the three nodes of the cluster. The port number is not optional for this configuration and should be outside of the 27000 to 27009 range.

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.
