  Adaptive Server Anywhere as an Open Server
    Setting up Adaptive Server Anywhere as an Open Server

System requirements

There are separate requirements at the client and server for using Adaptive Server Anywhere as an Open Server.

Server-side requirements 

You must have the following elements at the server side to use Adaptive Server Anywhere as an Open Server:

• Adaptive Server Anywhere server components    You must use the network server (dbsrv9.exe) if you want to access an Open Server over a network. You can use the personal server (dbeng9.exe) as an Open Server only for connections from the same machine.

• TCP/IP    You must have a TCP/IP protocol stack to use Adaptive Server Anywhere as an Open Server, even if you are not connecting over a network.

Client-side requirements 

You need the following elements to use Sybase client applications to connect to an Open Server (including Adaptive Server Anywhere):

• Open Client components    The Open Client libraries provide the network libraries your application needs to communicate via TDS, if your application uses Open Client.

• jConnect    If your application uses JDBC, you need jConnect and a Java runtime environment.

• DSEdit    You need DSEdit, the directory services editor, to make server names available to your Open Client application. On UNIX platforms, this utility is called sybinit.

  DSEdit is not included with SQL Anywhere Studio, but is included with Open Server software.
