jConnect / Software Developer Kit Download

[VolkerBarth]

I want to use the jConnect Jar

In the Documentation i can find a URL that is no longer working.

Question is where can I find the latest Developer Kit ? I tried SAP Support Portal but can't find anything there.

[VolkerBarth]

I tried SAP Support Portal but can't find anything there.

That's not restricted to jConnect, correct?

[thomas_duemesnil]

Yes. I can't find anything there. Probably I think as DBA my brain is to limited for that stuff.

You can only get JConnect as part of the SDK for ASE, which is downloadable from SAP Service Marketplace.

See this KBA for more details:

2093510 - How to Download Free SDK for SAP ASE [Windows, Linux, Unix]

1. Go to the SAP Store
2. Search for "SCN ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE SDK"
3. Download the ASE SDK from one of the links:

That is the Problem SAP <> SERVICE

I have check the Catalog A-Z, I have searched in the Catalog, In the totally new catalog, On Market Place and Support Portal.

SAP is really a §*$T&§$&§&&§&§&§&&§&$%"$%"%". That has to be said.

Even a thread with a Detailed description did not help. http://scn.sap.com/thread/3533362

Jason. We don't have a ASE license. Can it be that this is the reason I can't download ?

Yes, this is the reason, and Ryan Hansen explains here further: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3360231

You can download the ASE Developer Edition here:

I can confirm that the ASE Developer Package DOES contain jConnect 16.0:

[thomas_duemesnil]

So. After registration. I download now 1.4GB to get a 100K jar. Funny times.

Why is it not possible to distribute this file with the SA Package.

Thanks for your help.

[jack_schueler]

Thomas, just to understand your needs a bit better, why are you using jConnect if you do not have an ASE license? If you need a JDBC driver that connects to SQL Anywhere only, then you can use the driver included with SQL Anywhere.

[thomas_duemesnil]

I want to use JAVA only connection in our tomcat environment to connect to SA. On the linux box I don't want to maintain additional installed binaries.

The Documentation JDBC support mentions

'SQL Anywhere also supports a pure Java JDBC driver, named jConnect, which is available from Sybase'
