Here is a list of issues that we know about with this version of Adaptive Server:
If you configure Adaptive Server to listen on to a port on localhost (or IP address 127.0.0.1), clients on other systems cannot connect to Adaptive Server. This appears to be a restriction inherent within Mac OS X 10.3.
Backup server tape drive support is not yet available; backup can be done only to disk. Once on disk, backup images can be copied and burned to a CD (approximately 650MB storage) or DVD (approximately 6GB storage).
Permissions on files – If the server starts up as root, it may create a configuration file with read/write permission only for user root. If the server is then shut down, and one attempts to restart it as a non-root user, the server will not start because the non-root user has no permissions for the config file. This can be addressed by changing the permission to read/write for owner, group and world users. The file is located at /Applications/Sybase/System/ASE-12_5/servername_ASE.cfg.
