EBF list with solved problems

hansg — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 06:23:05 GMT

Hi, I look to find out if a specific problem is solved in an EBF. In the SAP portal I am able to download the patches but I could nog find any list with solved problems. In the past there was a page to find a list with solved errors. I tried http://sqlasupport.sap.com/readme/index.html but gives no result (an error). Tia Hans

Hm, a while ago that URL was still working...

FWIW, each download also includes the according version-specific readme file, you just have to download it before and extract it from the EBF package... (At least that's true for Windows setups.)

E.g. if you open the SA17011_Windows_6933_EBF.exe as archive, you can view the ReadMe_EBF.html file there, and it will contain all v17 bugfix entries.

Click the icon in the Related Info column for the patch
Select Content Info
Select the link in the Patch Text column (it will have the Product Version plus Release Notes Information. i.e., SQLAnywhere 17.0 SP1 PL02 Build 6933 Release Notes Information
Click the link in the Attachments column

There may be multiple attachments listed but these are generally will be the same. Exceptions are when there is a gap in the release dates for a given platform.

So the sqlasupport.sap.com resource is discontinued unfortunately?

In my understanding, this was a public bugfix reference whereas the information in the SAP Support Portal apparently requires a valid support contract.

I am investigating the sqlasupport.sap.com status.
