SAP Sybase RAP 5.0 packaging and licensing have been simplified as compared to previous releases.
Product components within the RAP bundle are now delivered individually, rather than as a set. This approach provides the flexibility of updating only those product components you want most, with the latest versions.
Additionally, RAP has a single edition only. All existing RAP licensees active on support can move to SAP Sybase RAP 5.0, but the process for doing so varies depending on which product is currently licensed.
Existing RAP - The Trading Edition Enterprise licensees active on support will automatically see corresponding licenses of SAP Sybase RAP 5.0 on SPDC. Other existing RAP licensees must contact Sybase Customer Service to have their SPDC profile updated to provide access to the RAP 5.0 software.
Licensees of RAP products prior to RAP 5.0 must also contact Customer Service in order to receive any additional licenses for legacy features to which they may be entitled. Such legacy features may include VLDB management for databases of unlimited size and/or unlimited multiplex servers. Please note that this does not apply to the IMSL Time Series libraries and functions, which are not available in SAP Sybase RAP 5.0.
Please note that this release of SAP Sybase RAP 5.0 does not include support for use of Roguewave IMSL Libraries and Sybase-provided user-defined functions, unlike some previous RAP editions. However, Sybase RAP continues to provide license to create and run custom, user-defined function libraries on any RAPStore node. Any references to IMSL libraries and time series functions in documentation of other Sybase products do not apply to SAP Sybase RAP 5.0.
