Adaptive Server includes server components that are installed into specific directories.

Product	Description
Adaptive Server	Installed into the ASE-15_0 directory. Adaptive Server – the database server. Backup Server – an Open Server™-based application that manages all database backup (dump) and restore (load) operations. XP Server – an Open Server application that manages and executes extended stored procedures (ESPs) from within Adaptive Server. Job Scheduler – provides a job scheduler for Adaptive Server. Job Scheduler components are located in their own directory at ASE-15_0/jobscheduler/.
Software Developer Kit (SDK)	Installed into the OCS-15_0 directory. Open Client (`Client Library`, `dblib`) ESQL/C ESQL/COBOL XA ODBC (Windows, Solaris SPARC, Solaris x64, Linux Power, HP-UX Itanium, IBM AIX) – a driver used to connect to Adaptive Server from ODBC-based applications. OLEDB (Windows only) – a provider used to connect to Adaptive Server from OLEDB-based applications. ADO.NET (Windows only) – a provider used to connect to Adaptive Server from .NET based applications.
shared directory	The shared directory contains components and libraries that are shared by several other components. In earlier versions, this directory was named shared-1_0. Sybase Central 6 – is a Java-based framework used by the system management tools. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) – is a runtime Java virtual machine used to execute Java-based programs, such as Sybase Central. Adaptive Server includes the JRE. In typical installations, by default, the JRE is fully installed. In custom installations, if you select a component for installation that requires the JRE, the JRE is also automatically selected for installation. It is located in the shared/JRE-6_0 * directory.
Adaptive Server plug-in	Installed into the $SYBASE/shared/sybasecentral6* directory. Note: Sybase recommends that you use the Sybase Control Center to monitor Adaptive Server instead, as the plug-in does not support any of the new features of Adaptive Server 15.7. See Tools for Managing Adaptive Server Enterprise.
