Special Installation and Configuration Instructions

Instructions for SAP Open Server installation and configuration.

See the SDK for SAP ASE and SAP Open Server Installation Guide for your platform for instructions about installing SAP Open Server.

Warning! If you install both SAP Open Server and SDK for SAP ASE in the same directory, SAP recommends that you use the same version and ESD levels. Because SAP Open Server and SDK for SAP ASE share files, using different version and ESD levels can cause product failures.

For instructions on configuring your environment, see the Open Client and Open Server Configuration Guide for your platform.

For information on compiling and executing SAP® Open Client™ and SAP Open Server applications, including the sample programs, see the Open Client and Open Server Programmers Supplement for your platform.
