Verifying that servers are running

2Identify the drives and folders where the Adaptive Server software is installed, and identify Adaptive Server’s disk devices. Use the Windows command line tool cacls or Windows Explorer to set access permissions on the identified drives and folders. For detailed instructions on the use of cacls or Windows Explorer, see your Windows documentation or your Windows Operating System administrator.

Sybase recommends granting full control to the user “sybase” and denying access to others on all identified drives, files, and folder hierarchies.

If users other than “sybase” need access to files (configuration files, programs, libraries, and so on) in the folder hierarchy, limit their access to read and execute. Granting this access and any further access permissions should be carefully reviewed by the administrator to ensure they are required.

Note cacls is a command line utility available on Windows 2000 and later versions. On earlier Windows versions, this utility is available from the NT Resource Kit.

3Adaptive Server services should start as the user “sybase”:

•Using the Administrative Tools, open Services and select each of the Sybase Adaptive Server entries installed.

•Set the “Log On” properties for each of the entries to use “sybase” and the password for this account. This action results in the user “sybase” being granted ‘log on as a service” rights by Windows.

4Start Adaptive Server services. Using the Administrative Tools, open Services and select each of the Sybase Adaptive Server entries that were stopped in Step 1 and start them.

Verifying that servers are running

After you install and configure Sybase servers, your servers should be running.

To verify that the servers are running:

1From the Windows task manager, select Start Settings Control Panel Administrative Tools Services.

2Scroll through the list of services until you locate Sybase Adaptive Server Server_servername, where servername is the name of the server.

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.
