Re: SQL Anywhere 16.0 Runtime Version
No, there is no free runtime version of SQL Anywhere 16. The free runtime was discontinued with version 12, which was the major release immediately prior to version 16.

Mobilink error
SQl Anywhere 12.0.1.3797
We get a error (see below) when downloading data to the handheld (psion).
The Psion is connected with a docking station to a laptop. The laptop has a internet connection with a dongle.
On the mobilink server we see "synchronisation completed" and everything seems fine.
Someone a idea where we have to look to solve this?
Thanks
Eric

Re: Mobilink error
Hi Eric,
Unable to read 7 bytes. Network Error: (winsock error code: 10054).
dbmlsync is just reporting here what we're receiving back from the operating system:
Windows Sockets Error Codes (Windows)
Connection reset by peer. | An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This |
Meaning that the synchronization client had a valid socket open to the MobiLink synchronization server, and then the TCP connection was severed in the middle by... something. Either the remote host closed it due to a resource issue, or there was a intra-network error (too many packets dropped, exceeded MTU, etc.), or one of the above scenarios happened.
The Psion is connected with a docking station to a laptop. The laptop has a internet connection with a dongle.
This setup sounds like there is a strong potential for the Internet connection to drop packets, particularly if there are any network restrictions with using the Internet dongle. If you get a hard-wired connection from the laptop to the MobiLink server, do you see the same issue?
Collecting a Wireshark trace would likely be your next step to figure out what's wrong with the underlying network connection. You should then work with your local network administrator using the Wireshark trace information to trace out the various network points and determine the low-level network issue.

SQL Anywhere 12 web edition license question
Hi,
While compiling my blog in regards to opensearch here on SCN I double checked the licenses for SQL Anywhere 12.
Opensearch experiments: Trying to increase my SCN relevance . . score
In the blog I used what I thought was my SQL Anywhere "web edition" licensed version 12 on a micro instance in the AWS cloud.
Following the FAQ for the web edition SQL Anywhere Web Edition FAQ - Technical: Mobile Enterprise, Database Management iAnywhere - Sybase Inc
How can I get a copy of SQL Anywhere Web Edition?
SQL Anywhere Web Edition is available for download from the Sybase.com web site. A direct link to the download is available here: http://sybase.com/sawe.
The download link points to the "Developer edition".
After checking this I thought I better check my version via Server Licensing utility (dblic)
And it does appear I must have followed the developer edition
dblic /opt/sqlanywhere12/bin32/dbsrv12.lic
SQL Anywhere Server Licensing Utility Version 12.0.1.3827
License read successfully.
Developer Edition
...
...
I have now shutdown my version of SQL Anywhere on the AWS instance.
After reading the FAQ I understand that both a developer & web edition license would be required. But no obvious place to get a "web edition" license.
So,
1) is it possible to still get a "web edition" license for SQL Anywhrere 12?
Thanks,
Robert

Mobilink synchronization error
I'm fairly new to Mobilink Synchronization, so I'm doing thise tutorial -->Tutorial: Using Mobilink with an Adaptive Server Enterprise consolidated database. I'm using the trial version of SQL Anywhere 16 developer edition. I'm not using the sample database that comes with it, I'm using my own. So, I'm on lesson 5 and trying to create a mobilink project and synchronization model.
However, it's giving me an error saying:
A database error has occurred. ml_ra_schema_name not found. Specify owner.objectame or use sp_help to check whether the object exists.
Any idea what am I missing? Any output is appreciated

Re: Can't terminate a connection on SA 12.0.1 on CentOS linux
Hi Bill,
I know I've seen older posts on the internet regarding "hung connections" and the fix is basically stopping the database
Depending on the situation, applying an EBF may also help the problem. See: Connections that cannot be dropped - SA Forum
that keeps getting a connection that is blocking other connections and it cannot be terminated with a "drop connection" command.
What's the connection # of the connection you're trying to drop? If it's a 'large' number, yes it's likely an internal connection related to a server problem with intra-query parallelism.
With that said, we have just set the max_query_tasks option to 1 in an effort to avoid this problem.
Assuming that intra-query parallelism is to blame, this is likely the best option as a current work-around unless you are willing to open a technical support case with us to investigate this problem further. We can potentially use internal tools to take a 'snapshot' of the database server when it gets into this situation and can then confirm the underlying problem.

Re: Can't terminate a connection on SA 12.0.1 on CentOS linux
The connection we're trying to close is the connection for our application, not a "large" number that is normally associated with intra-query parallelism.
There has been an EBF released since we installed 3697 but to be honest, I'm not confident in it fixing the problem since it appears this issue has been around quite a while.
You mention internal tools to take a "snapshot". Is that something we could do if the database gets into this situation? I don't know about opening a case yet since we don't have a reproducible case, it just happens intermittently; however, it does seem to be the same process every time so we might be able to narrow it down.
We've got some frustration because this is our 3rd customer that is having issues with Sybase 12.0.1 over the last 6 months.

Re: Can't terminate a connection on SA 12.0.1 on CentOS linux
Hi Bill,
The connection we're trying to close is the connection for our application, not a "large" number that is normally associated with intra-query parallelism.
Is this a shared memory connection, or TCP/IP? If it's TCP/IP, can you still see the socket open if you type 'netstat -a' at a Console?
You mention internal tools to take a "snapshot". Is that something we could do if the database gets into this situation? I don't know about opening a case yet since we don't have a reproducible case, it just happens intermittently
Yes, the internal tool is intended to be deployed to situations where it's not known when the database server may 'get into a situation' - the idea is that the tool is deployed to problematic systems ahead of time, and then run to gather diagnostics when appropriate. Opening a technical support case is the only way to gain access to this tool as the tool contains debug components and these must be covered by an existing support plan agreement. Furthermore, the output of the tool needs to be examined by support engineers - customers will not recognize the output of the tool and there are no methods provided in the product on in the internal tool to analyze the output themselves.
however, it does seem to be the same process every time so we might be able to narrow it down.
Meaning that there is a known pre-condition that usually precipitates the hung connection? What are these clients usually doing just before the connection is 'hung'?

Re: Mobilink synchronization error
Hi Gabrielle,
Which exact step of the tutorial lesson are you seeing this error on? Is this on the final step where you click "Finish" and we're performing the "Checking for MobiLink System Setup" step...?
Here is what I see when I do this:
---
This step of the Wizard is looking to see if the ASE consolidated database already has the MobiLink system tables installed. The error you have posted is suggesting that the MobiLink system table set up is not correct. The system tables are usually automatically installed by the wizard at this step if they are not installed already, with a prompt to the user to confirm that these should be deployed:
If you would like to manually install the MobiLink system tables yourself into ASE, the SQL script is located here: %SQLANY16%\MobiLink\Setup\syncase.sql
Some questions:
- Has this database ever had the MobiLink system tables installed on it previously?
- Is this a 'new' copy of the 'pubs2' ASE sample database?
- Have you ever seen the 'prompt' screen to install the MobiLink system tables in Sybase Central?

ASA 12.01 & EBF updates
I'm a newbie learning his way around SQL Anywhere, I've tried Google & FAQ's but I've been unable to find an answer yet
After installing ASA12.01 do I need to install all the EBF updates in numerical order from oldest to latest?
Or can I just install the latest EBF & that includes previous updates (a bit like MS Service packs)?
Many thanks,
Ralph

Re: ASA 12.01 & EBF updates
You can simply install the most recent EBF. There is no need to install multiple EBFs.
Note that the term "EBF" is gradually being renamed to the SAP term "SP", which stands for "Support Package".

Re: Mobilink synchronization error
Got this problem fixed. It turns out that for some reason, my syncase.sql file doesn't contain all the tables that needs to be created because I'm running SQL Anywhere 16 on a 32 bit pc. So, what I did is to install SQL Anywhere 16 on a pc that runs a 64 bit. And when I checked on the syncase.sql file, it contains the missing tables. I don't know why the syncase.sql file of a 32 bit is different from a 64 bit.
Answers to your questions:
1. No, i deleted all the tables, triggers, procedures that have been created by mobilink
2. No, because I'm using my own database
3. Yes, I did and I clicked 'yes' since it's my first time running mobilink.

Re: Sybase SQL anywhere database backup
Offline backups (when the database server is stopped) can be done using a simple file copy of the *.db and *.log files.
Online backups can be done using the dbbackup.exe utility that ships with SQL Anywhere, or by using the SQL BACKUP statement. There is also a backup wizard in Sybase Central (the database administration tool)
You can read all about backup including examples, how to automate them, etc... here:

Re: Sybase SQL anywhere database backup
Hi Shahid,
I am using BI 4.1 sp1 BOBJ server under sybase SQL anywhere 12 database and Operating system is Windows 2008 server. I want to take offline and online backup of database
Please see the document posted by José Ramos on this topic in the BI area: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-48608 - this should get you started. Feel free to post back here if you have any questions.
why BI4_CMS.log size too much how to reduce the CMS log file size
The BI4_CMS.log file is the transaction log file used by SQL Anywhere, which keeps track of all data changes in the database and is used for recovery purposes. It will constantly grow as more activity occurs on the database server over time.
To control the size of the transaction log, you should either truncate or rename the tranasaction log as part of your backup process.
