SAP Sybase IQ programs, including the
database server and administration utilities, carry out extensive searches for required
files, such as DLLs or shared libraries.
In these cases, SAP Sybase IQ programs look for files in the
following order:
- The executable directory – the directory in which the program executable is held. Also, directories
with the following paths relative to the program executable directory:
- Current working directory – when a program is started, it has a current working directory (the directory
from which it is started). This directory is searched for required
files.
- Location registry entry – on a Windows installation, SAP Sybase IQ adds a LOCATION
registry entry. The indicated directory is searched, followed by the following:
- System-specific directories – this includes directories where common operating system files are held, such
as the Windows directory and the Windows\system directory on Windows.
- CLASSPATH directories – for Java files, directories listed in the CLASSPATH environment variable are
searched to locate files.
- PATH directories – directories in the system path and the user’s path are searched to locate
files.
- LIBRARY PATH directories – directories listed in the LIBPATH environment variable
are searched for shared libraries.
