Was SQL Anywhere 17.0 SP1 PL16 Build 7820 pulled for Windows X86/X64?

Only three days left here but giving it a shot!

Back on August 14th, I noticed SQL Anywhere 17.0 SP1 PL16 Build 7820 was available to download for Windows X64. We grabbed it, put it on our QA environment and completed testing and are rolling it out later this week.

However, now I don't see it available for download and the associated SAP KBA shows that only the Linux build was updated at https://me.sap.com/notesLatestChanges/0002381119/E/diff and not Windows.

Was this pulled by SAP? Should I cancel my rollout for any reason?

Wow, that "shot" triggered a lightning fast response by Reg 😄

Indeed it did!

The installer had not been properly signed, so we needed to pull the windows EBF. I believe that 17.0.11.7822 for windows will be posted shortly with a properly signed installer.

There is nothing wrong with the build 7820 binaries, but the fact that we ended up pulling it means we may not end up saving the PDB files for that build long term. If send in a crash file in a few years, we may no longer be able to properly resolve the symbols.

Thanks so much for the quick reply Reg, much appreciated! I guess I just didn't notice that I confirmed the installer to continue with an unknown publisher or am I off here? Sounds like I shouldn't be worried and can just overlay 7822 over it?

Does SAP have an estimate on when the new Windows EBF will be posted with a properly signed installer?

Separately - why doesn't the timestamp update at SAP SQL Anywhere - SAP Community when a comment or answer is posted, there's no way for that conversation to filter to the top, even with the multiple sorting options. Odd.

FWIW, SQL Anywhere 17.0 SP1 PL17 Build 7821 was released at 2024-09-10...

Thanks Volker, very much appreciated 🙂 I noticed last week and grabbed it.
