Sybase Central behavior changes and deprecated features

Following is a list of changes to Sybase Central introduced in version 12.0.0.

Sybase Central version changes to 6.1.0 SQL Anywhere 12 includes version 6.1.0 of Sybase Central 6.1.0.
Support for 32- and 64-bit computers The Sybase Central configuration file has been renamed:
- On 32-bit computers, the .scRepository600 file is now named .scRepository610_32
- On 64-bit computers, the .scRepository600 file can be named .scRepository610_32 and/or .scRepository610_64 depending upon your installation.
When deploying Sybase Central, you no longer need to create JPR files for the plug-ins Previously, when deploying Sybase Central and SQL Anywhere you needed to create JPR files for each plug-in. Now, Sybase Central uses the environment variable %SQLANY12% to find and register the plug-ins.

Maintenance plan enhancements The following enhancements have been made to maintenance plans:
- You can include SQL statements that are executed before validation
- You can include SQL statements that are executed after backup
- You can view the status of a maintenance plan while it is running
- You can only run maintenance plan at a time
For more information, see Creating a maintenance plan.
Automatically refresh dynamic objects and properties The lists of connections and locks, as well as the dynamic properties for events, maintenance plans, and windows services are automatically refreshed every 10 seconds by default. See Set the refresh frequency.

When you use the wizard to create a version 11 or later database, global checksums are disabled by default. Global checksums is always enabled by default when creating databases for Windows Mobile.
