Product
Description
Adaptive Server
The relational database server. The default unloading process includes:
Adaptive Server
Backup Server
Monitor Server
XP Server
Adaptive Server utilities
Scripts and configuration files
Adaptive Server Plug-In to Sybase Central
Sybase Central is a common framework for managing servers. It allows you to manage Adaptive Server Enterprise installations using the Sybase Central graphical management tool. You can manage Adaptive Server Enterprise running on any platform from a PC that is running Windows 95 or Windows NT.
For information on how to use Sybase Central to manage Adaptive Server, see Managing and Monitoring Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise.
Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor
An Open Server application that obtains performance statistics on Adaptive Server and makes those statistics available to Monitor Server client applications.
Adaptive Server Enterprise Monitor (also called Monitor Server) includes:
Monitor Server for Adaptive Server Enterprise 11.9.x - an Open Server application that obtains performance statistics on Adaptive Server and makes those statistics available to monitors in Sybase Central, Monitor Historical Servers, and applications built with Monitor Client Library. Monitor Server for SQL Server 11.0.x is also available.
Adaptive Server plug-in for Sybase Central - this graphical user interface obtains Adaptive Server performance data from Monitor Server and displays the data, in real time, in tables and graphs.
Monitor Client Library - a programming interface that provides access to Adaptive Server performance data.
Monitor Historical Server - an Open Server application that obtains performance statistics for many Adaptive Servers via Monitor Servers and records the data to specified file locations.
Backup Server
Backup Server is an Open Server-based application that manages all database backup (dump) and restore (load) operations for Adaptive Server Enterprise. Backup Server provides the following features:
Allows you to use up to 32 dump devices (this is called dump striping) in parallel to dump or load a single database or transaction log.
Allows one dump to span multiple tapes or allows multiple dumps to be made to a single tape.
Allows dumping and loading over the network to or from a device on another machine.
Provides automated determination of tape device characteristics, by using operating system commands, for a dump operation.
Platform-specific tape handling options support dump and load command syntax specification for volume naming, dismount and load control, tape density, block size, tape capacity, days to retain, initialization, file naming for multidump volumes, and listing header or file information.
Install Backup Server if you plan to back up and restore databases in Adaptive Server. Backup Server is unloaded, by default, when you unload Adaptive Server Enterprise software from the distribution media. Use the srvbuild utility to set up Backup Server and to connect Backup Server and Adaptive Server Enterprise through the interfaces file.
Language Modules (Server)
Provides system messages and date/time formats to help you localize your applications. Default installation includes the us_english language module and the following character sets:
cp437 - IBM CP437, U.S. code set
cp850 - IBM CP850, European code set
iso_1 - ISO 8859-1, Latin-1
mac - Standard Macintosh coding
roman8 - HP Roman-8
Other languages for Adaptive Server Enterprise and Sybase client products are French, German, and Japanese. Language modules for Spanish, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese are also available for Adaptive Server Enterprise only.
For more information on server language modules and character sets, see Configuring Adaptive Server for UNIX Platforms, version 11.5.1.
Language Modules (Connectivity)
Provides messages and support files for running Open Client applications in various languages.
ODBC Driver
Allows Windows NT client applications to access Adaptive Server Enterprise data.
Open Client
Provides libraries and utilities for developing any Open Client application.
SQL Advantage
A graphical isql tool for Adaptive Server Enterprise.
XP Server
An Open Server application that manages and executes extended stored procedures (ESPs) from within Adaptive Server Enterprise. ESPs provide a method for calling procedural language functions from within Adaptive Server Enterprise.
XP Server is unloaded, by default, when you unload Adaptive Server Enterprise software from the distribution media. Use the srvbuild utility to set up XP Server and to connect XP Server and Adaptive Server Enterprise through the interfaces file.
