Hi George,
You are missing a terminating quote mark after the executable name.
dbsvc -as -i -s auto -sd "The SQL Anywhere 16 Arbiter Database Service" -t network -w SQLAnywhere16DBArbiter "F:\SAP\SQLAnywhere16\Bin64\dbsrv16" -n ufs_arbiter -x "tcpip(PORT=2640;DOBROAD=no)" -xf "F:\\SAP\\SQLAnywhereDBFiles\\DB\\arbiter.state" -xa "AUTH=ufsmirror;DBN=smp3"
Does the above command create the service correctly?
Thanks,
Mikel
