Installation Directory Contents and Layout

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

ProductDescription
Adaptive Server
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/.
Software Developer Kit (SDK)
Installed into the OCS-15_0 directory.
  • Open Client (Client Library, dblib)
  • ESQL/C
  • ESQL/COBOL
  • XA
  • 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.
  • OLEDB (Windows only) – a provider used to connect to Adaptive Server from OLEDB-based applications.
  • ADO.NET (Windows only) – a provider used to connect to Adaptive Server from .NET based applications.
Shared Directory
The Shared directory contains components and libraries that are shared by several other components. In earlier versions, this directory was named Shared-1_0.
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) – is a runtime Java virtual machine used to execute Java-based programs, such as Sybase Central. Adaptive Server includes the JRE. In typical installations, by default, the JRE is fully installed. In custom installations, if you select a component for installation that requires the JRE, the JRE is also automatically selected for installation. It is located in the Shared\JRE-7_0 * directory.
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 locales directory. 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.
Web Services
Installed into the WS-15_0 directory. An optional product that provides access to Adaptive Server using HTTP/SOAP and WSDL.
Interactive SQL
Interactive SQL is a GUI tool that allows you to execute SQL statements, build scripts, and display data from Adaptive Server. It is installed into the DBISQL directory.
jutils-3_0 Utilities
A collection of Adaptive Server utility programs including ribo, a tool to trace TDS traffic between client program and Adaptive Server.
jConnect™ for JDBC™
Installed into the jConnect-7_0 directory. Provides a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) driver for Adaptive Server.
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 strongly recommends that you install the ECDA DirectConnect option or MainframeConnect™ DirectConnect™ for z/OS, including DirectConnect Manager, into its own directory.
