Installing EBFs

To ensure that your installation is the most current, Sybase strongly recommends that, after installing Open Server, you download and install the corresponding latest available EBF. You can download product updates from Sybase Downloads.

Each Open Server release includes a subset of the SDK. Thus, Open Server EBFs contain two separate version strings: one for the Open Server EBF, and one for the SDK files such as Client-Library, isql, and bcp.

For example, in an Open Server product, the Server-Library version string might be Server-Library/15.7/P-EBF17391-17390, and the Client-Library string might be Client-Library/15.7/P-EBF17930. In these version strings, 17931 identifies the Open Server EBF, and 17930 identifies the Client-Library file as well as other SDK files.

To verify that you are using the correct version of Open Server, check the version string of the Open Server library:

strings $SYBASE/OCS-15_0/lib/libsybsrv.a | grep Sybase
