Adaptive Server includes server components that are installed into specific directories.

ProductDescription
The Server Installation Package
Installed into the ASE-15_0 directory.
  • Adaptive Server – the database server.
  • Backup Server – an Open Server™-based application that manages all database backup (dump) and restore (load) operations.
  • XP Server – an Open Server application that manages and executes extended stored procedures (ESPs) from within Adaptive Server.
  • Job Scheduler – provides a job scheduler for Adaptive Server. Job Scheduler components are located in their own directory at ASE-15_0/jobscheduler/.
Shared-Disk Cluster Administration Tools
  • sybcluster – interactive command line interface for configuring and managing the cluster; installed in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin directory.
  • Job Scheduler templates and utilities – predefined templates from which the database administrator can create and schedule useful, time-saving jobs. They are installed into the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/jobscheduler directory.
  • Interactive SQL– interactive command line interface for configuring and managing the cluster. It is installed into the SYBASE/DBISQL directory.
  • JRE – the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is a runtime Java virtual machine that executes Java-based programs such as Sybase Control Center. Installed into the $SYBASE/shared/JRE-* directory.
  • The Cluster Edition Administration Utility is installed in $SYBASE/SDCADMIN-15_0.
  • Sybase Central 6.x – is a Java-based framework used by the system management tools. Installed into the $SYBASE/shared/sybcentral600 directory.
  • Adaptive Server plug-in – a Sybase Central plug-in that provides cluster configuration and complete administration functionality. Installed into the $SYBASE/ASEP directory.
    Note: Sybase Central and the Adaptive Server plug-in do not support features or functionality introduced in version 15.7 and later.

    The Adaptive Server installer does not install the Sybase Central or the Adaptive Server plug-in. If you need Sybase Central for backward-compatibility support of features from Adaptive Server version 15.5, download it from http://downloads.sybase.com.

    To monitor and manage Adaptive Server—including the features introduced in this version—using a graphical user interface, use Sybase Control Center. The SCC agent for Adaptive Server is installed as part of a Typical installation of Adaptive Server, while the SCC Management User Interface for Adaptive Server is available in the Custom installation option.

Software Developer Kit (SDK)
Connectivity:
  • Open Client™ (Client-Library, dblib)
  • Embedded SQL/COBOL 15.0
  • XA interface for Adaptive Sever
Installed into the DataAccess directory:
  • ODBC (Windows, Solaris SPARC, Solaris x64, Linux Power, HP-UX Itanium, IBM AIX) – a driver used to connect to Adaptive Server from ODBC based applications.
Sybase Control Center
Sybase Control Center logs and utilities – files related to the Web-based tool for monitoring the status and availability of Adaptive Servers. They are installed into the $SYBASE/SCC-3_2 directory.
Note: The Adaptive Server typical installation option installs only the SCC Remote Command and Control (RCC) agent. To use a GUI-based connection to the SCC server using a Web browser, you must install the SCC Management User Interface for Adaptive Server using the Adaptive Server custom installation option.
Language Modules

Installed into the $SYBASE/locales and $SYBASE_ASE/locales directories. Provides system messages and date/time formats.

Character Sets
Installed into the charsets directory. Provides character sets available for use with Adaptive Server.
Collation Sequences
Installed into the collate directory. Provides the collation sequences available for use with Adaptive Server.
Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM)
Installed into the SYSAM-2_0 directory. Provides asset management of Adaptive Servers and optional features.
Java Client Utility
Installed into the jutils-3_0 directory and is a collection of Adaptive Server utility programs including ribo, a tool to trace TDS traffic between client program and Adaptive Server.
Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
Installed into the jConnect-7_0 directories. Provides a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver for Adaptive Server.
Uninstaller
Installed into the sybuninstall/ASESuite directory.
OData Server
Installed into the ODATA-16_0 directory, OData (Open Data Protocol) enables data services over RESTful HTTP, allowing you to perform operations through URIs (Universal Resource Identifiers) to access and modify information.
Note: SAP recommends that you:
  • Install the ECDA DirectConnect option or MainframeConnect™ DirectConnect™ for z/OS, including DirectConnect Manager, into its own directory
  • Do not install Sybase IQ 15.1 in a directory that includes the Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.7 ESD #2 Cluster Edition.
