Testing the Sybase Central installation

After you install Adaptive Server, Sybase Central, and the Java Runtime

Environment, test the installation and network connections:

1Select Start Programs Sybase Sybase Central v4.3 from the Windows task-bar to start Sybase Central.

2Select Tools Connect from the Sybase Central menu bar to activate a Sybase Adaptive Server login window.

3Log in using the default user ID, “sa”, without a password. If you changed the password for Adaptive Server according to the post-installation instructions, use the new password.

4From the drop-down list, select the Adaptive Server to which you want to connect.

If Sybase Central is installed on the same computer as the server, click the icon for the server.

If prompted to start Adaptive Server, click OK. When the traffic light icon representing the server is green, the server is running.

Warning! Do not start XP Server from Sybase Central. Adaptive Server starts XP Server automatically when Adaptive Server receives the first request for an extended stored procedure.

5To disconnect from a server, select Tools Disconnect.

6Exit Sybase Central.

If Adaptive Server fails any of these tests, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.” Before retrying the installation, follow the instructions in Chapter 3, “Post- Installation Tasks.” For more details on Unified Agent installation and administration, see the Unified Agent / Agent Management Console User Guide.

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.
