ASE v15.5 SDK for RHEL 9

[ebostick]

We have an old Sybase (Pre SAP) system (v15.5) running on Sun Sparc Solaris OS and we are planning on decommission as soon as possible but our support system that is also on a Sun Sparc Solaris OS we would like to move to a RHEL 9 server and we need the Sybase shared libraries including SybaseASE.so that works with perl scripts to be able to run updates to the DB.  We have a SDK (sybase-sdk-51044901-1.el7.centos.src.rpm) but, it is for CentOS 7 and we need the SDK for RHEL 9 or the raw sources to that we can build on RHEL 9.

Please reply

there's no mention of the the Advantage Database Server so you may want to remove that tag (SAP Advantage Database Server) to limit confusion

If you have a support contract I'd recommend opening a case with tech support to see if they can help you with tracking down an appropriate download of the ASE SDK.

Alternatively, download one of the ASE SDK packages from this page:

• search the page for 'adaptive' and you'll find several (recent) versions of the ASE SDK (16.0 SP03/SP04); pick the one for your given OS (eg, AIX, Windows, Solaris/SPARC, Solaris/x86, linux); you'll be prompted for an email and/or SAP community login and respond in the affirmative to a couple prompts before being presented with the actual download
• ASE 15.5 isn't real old so I'd expect the available 16.0 versions of the ASE SDK to be backwards compatible
• SAP no longer distinguishes between different linux flavors and instead provides a single download file under the heading of 'linux'; you can review the various Installation/Upgrade/Configuration guides for assorted OSs to see if your specific OS/version is mentioned, but don't hold your breath; fwiw, I've got fairly recent versions of ASE, ASE/SDK, Repserver and SySAM running under Ubuntu 20.x/22.x, but 'Ubuntu' is never mentioned in the documentation
