RAP 5.0 has simplified packaging and licensing, and other architectural changes.
Packaging and Licensing Changes
Sybase RAP 5.0 packaging and licensing have been simplified: there are
no longer separate Standard and Enterprise Editions of RAP. RAP includes:
- Sybase Event Stream Processor 5.1
- Sybase IQ 15.4
- Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.7
- Support for up to two RAPStore servers in a multiplex at no additional fee, with the option to license additional RAPStore servers for a fee
- Support for Very Large Database Management (VLDB) features for databases of up to five (5) terabytes, with the option to license additional storage
- Support for UDFs on both reader and writer RAPStore nodes
If you licensed RAP prior to version 5.0, please be sure to carefully review the Migration Information section of the Sybase RAP Release Bulletin for details regarding access to RAP 5.0 software, as well as instructions for accessing legacy entitlements of your previous RAP products.
