Guidelines for installing SDK for SAP ASE on the same machine with other SAP products.
In general, SAP recommends that you place the new installation of SDK for SAP ASE in separate directories from other SAP products, such as SAP Replication Server, SAP® OpenSwitch™, Enterprise Connect™ Data Access, and SAP® IQ, unless SAP Technical Support has specifically recommended installation in the same directory to address an issue.
Installing SDK for SAP ASE 16.0 on the same machine as Adaptive Server 15.0.x could cause SAP Adaptive Server to fail to start. To configure this, either upgrade SAP Adaptive Server to 16.0, or follow the directions in the SDK for SAP ASE and SAP Open Server Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows.
SAP recommends that you do not mix versions of SDK for SAP ASE and SAP Open Server in the same directory. For example, do not install SDK for SAP ASE 16.0 in a directory containing Open Server 15.5—in this case, upgrade both SDK for SAP ASE and SAP Open Server to 16.0.
