Sybase Central version changes to 6.1.0   SQL Anywhere 12 includes version 6.1.0 of Sybase Central 6.1.0.

Sybase Central only supports SQL Anywhere versions 10x and later databases   Support for version 9 database servers and databases created with version 9 software has been removed from the SQL Anywhere plug-in. When unloading and reloading the database into a reload file, or into a new or existing database, you can still connect to a database created with version 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 software running on a version 9 or later database server.

For databases created by version 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 software running on a version 6, 7, 8, or 9 database server, you can connect to the database from the SQL Anywhere plug-in temporarily to do one of the following tasks:

The files for the database being unloaded must be located on the local computer.

There is no support in the SQL Anywhere plug-in for databases created by version 4 or earlier software running on a version 5 or earlier server.

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.
