I am not that experienced in Sybase systems but I am keen to learn.

I have a simple android application that I am trying to connect to a Ultralight DB. This DB is stored in my project built on Android Studio 0.3.1. I've added the file ultralitejni12.jar in my libs and added it as library and I am able to do reference import in my java class without a problem. I even get intellisense help on this. Then I copied the DB (with extension <*.udb>) file into my assets in the project directory. The full path in windows explorer looks like this: (C:AndroidDevAnroidStudioSampleAppProjectSampleAppbuildexploded-bundlesComAndroidSupportAppcompatV71900.aar). I don't know if this should be the right directory to put it but believe me I already tried the 'libs' location but to no avail. The code I am using to connect to the database came straight from Sybase after Googling around but it's generating funny errors like ; "Gradle: cannot find symbol class ULjException" "Gradle: package com.ianywhere.ultralitejni12 does not exist".

Every attempt to rebuild does nothing for me. Please help...

This seems to be a problem which has developed only recently. Using SQL Anywhere version 11 build 2308 32 bit, on two separate customer sites (one using Windows 7 computers and one using XPs), I have had to add a HOST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx statement in the ODBC configuration to get the client computer to connect to the server. Then everything functions fine. These are simple two or three computer peer-to-peer networks. dblocate on the client can't find any servers but I can ping the server's IP address and connect with the HOST parameter.

Windows Firewalls are on, and I have put entries to allow dbsrv11.exe both inbound and outbound.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

I am new to Sybase having been an Oracle user for the longest time. I am working with a Database user that has no Password but is a Member of a group. What I need to understand is how is this user able to connect to the database?

I am not clear on how it does it.

Thanks

I have a Consolidated database with one Remote database (both SQL Anywhere 16 databases and Mobilink 16). I want to collect the Remote synchronization status (connection failed, last synchronization time, last error etc) and update it each time (changes) in a table on the remote database. What approaches/architecture/services on the remote do I have to use without using the dbmlsync API? My preference is to do it completely inside the remote database in SQL, is that possible?

Hi ,

I am using informatica 9.1 which is extracting data from source database SYBASE IQ and the target database is Oracle.I have properly configured the connection. The mapping is valid and once the mapping is valid i create a workflow. The workflow is also valid.

When I run the workflow for the first time I am getting the below error

Database driver error...CMN_1022 [523 92[Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Anywhere]Database server not foundDatabase driver error...Function Name : ConnectDatabase driver error...Function Name : ConnectDatabase Error: Failed to connect to database using user [edw] and connection string [DWHSYBASEIQ_READER04].]

When I mannually execute it for the second time it is succesfully getting executed.

I am really not sure what could be the issue.

Please help me on the above?

Hello,

i have a problem with my connection-pooling in my sa-12 server. In my programm is often open and close connections (for nearly every query). After a while, i get the error message that the maximum of poolsize is reached. if i take a look in Sybase Central, there are a lot of Connections with the type: "CONNECTPOOLCACHE".

If i add CPOOL=No to my connection-string, nothing changed. There are also a lot of connections.

Does anybody else had this problem and got a solution?

Thank you!

Hi, I have a SqlAnyWhere 10 server running with appr. 37 databases on a Windows 2008R2 64bit server. The server runs nice for some days but then connections will not close even if the Client closes the application that holds the connection. Have anyone experienced and solved this?

Our servers in our dental offices are using SQL 9 and we started to upgrade the pc's in the office using SQL 11 users are complaining that the charts are freezing and locking up. Could this issue be caused by using the different versions of SQL

I am trying to get data off two devices that use SQL Anywhere 9 databases. They both currently run dbeng and I would like to use dbsrv instead so I can query the data from a central location.

I have read this article, but it's kind of lost on me because I'm not starting the process and I don't know what options are being used or assumed to be a specific default value.

I've been thinking about just renaming dbsrv9.exe to dbeng9.exe. It seems to work okay, but I don't want to do it in the live environment and have it break down the line, or find out that data hasn't been recorded properly in 6 months.

Is this an absolutely terrible idea? Is there another way around this? If it does seem like an okay idea, is there anything I can check to make sure that everything is working as expected?

I need some help. I recently ran this grant command created database roundcube ran

Any help is greatly appreciated.... Help. what exactly changed?

Hello I am new to sqlanywhere have experience from MSSQL I have not really figured how to use sqlanywhere tools to access a running databse to view index, database structure and so on.

does someone have any starter information to get me going ?

thank you in advance.

I have opened the new question as Jeff asked me to ...

I indeed would love to download the EBF ... but since the absorption into SAP, which we were not told about (go figure why?), we can no longer download those EBFs ...

Ironically, no one can even tell us how to PAY for a support contract.

Here's the link back to the original question:

FYI, this issue is exactly the same for both SQL Anywhere 12 and 16 from the 'bad' machine. Finally, I did try with the ip address, without host name - same exact result.

Troubleshooting an issue where I've created a simple locking scheme that is usually handled just fine by the app itself, however I did create an event (Disconnect) that should delete the lock record based on connection ID upon disconnect (the connection ID is part of the lock record, so it is a simple DELETE FROM LOCKTABLE WHERE CONNECTIONID= ? fired from the event upon disconnect).

Somehow we are getting into a state where our app goes down (not quite sure on this one yet) and those connections stay open, and the events never fire. Even a reboot of the workstation that made the original connection has no effect (thought there might be some process holding them open even though I couldn't find any even with Process Explorer (sysutils)).

So, my question is, generally speaking, should I always expect connections to be dropped (no pooling, btw) if the app that made the connection is no longer in memory (regardless of how that came to be)? Can someone explain to me how Sybase knows that it occurred and resets the connections (which is the only behavior I can reproduce...my events fire every time)? Can the server settings -tl and -ti set to zero have anything to do with it?

I do see similar postings referring to undroppable connections, but I'm not quite ready to blame the server until I have a clearer view of what I should expect from an unexpected crash.

We have developed a Windows Mobile 6 solution that does an automatic, periodic UL synchronization on a separate thread. It works great as long as there is a decent wifi connection. When in parts of the facility where the wifi is weak, however, it starts having trouble. What appears to be happening is that the automatic sync starts but then it gets the database into a state where it seems to be waiting for the ability to update rows on the main thread.

[EDIT] The docs say: "During the upload phase, UltraLite applications can access UltraLite databases in a read-only fashion". So do update requests on a non-syncing thread wait for the upload phase to complete? Or are they supposed to immediately fail?

Anyway, one of three things usually happens from there:

1. the user gives up and resets the device
2. the user waits long enough with the very poor connection that eventually the sync completes successfully and the waiting updates go through on the main thread (but it's an unacceptably long time).
3. the wifi connection gets so bad that the sync terminates with ULException - SQLE_COMMUNICATIONS_ERROR and the waiting updates on the main thread then go through successfully

The automatic sync is kind of expendable for the user...at least it's more of a nicety; if it’s doesn't happen from time to time, it really doesn’t matter. If there is a poor connection, the ideal would be to not sync at all, or at least cancel the sync after 3-5 seconds of not completing the sync. Unfortunately connection based timeout for .NET is not possible according to the docs:

ConnectionTimeout property: This feature is not supported by UltraLite.NET.

But often there may not even be a timeout occurring since the sync ultimately, usually, completes if given enough time....so maybe such a timeout wouldn’t help anyway??

The auto syncs are scheduled to occur often (like every 30 seconds), so there is very little data that ever needs to sync, and they're typically of very short duration when the wifi signal is strong (like 5 seconds maybe less)....so even if some timeout that was not based on the communication layer but on the length of the sync time itself was available, that would be nice. I don't think that's possible, but is there an option along those lines to emulate....say, for example, killing the automatic sync's thread--would that be an acceptable and safe option??

So in summary I guess these are my questions:

• Is this a known behavior...the inability to write to the database when a sync on another thread is "spinning" or trying to communicate or even during a certain phase of a sync that it is stuck at because of poor communication?
• Is there a non-destructive way to cancel an "expendable" sync after a certain amount of time? or even a way to cancel the sync if we see a user is trying to write to the database on the main thread?
• Do you see any other ways to deal with this situation?

Sorry for the length of this post and thanks for reading this far and for any help you might impart.

I am attempting to connect to an SQL Anywhere 12 database via VB.NET VS2008.

When attempting to use connection string setting different parameters I get an "Invalid User ID or password". Yet the User id and password is correct.

If I set the connection string with a DSN= it works fine.

I am using the SAConnectionStringBuilder.

enter code here
Public Shared Function GetActiveConnection(ByVal hostName As String, ByVal serverName As String, ByVal databaseName As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal authentication As String) As SAConnection
        Dim connBuilder As New SAConnectionStringBuilder
        connBuilder.Host = hostName
        connBuilder.ServerName = serverName
        connBuilder.DatabaseName = databaseName
        connBuilder.Integrated = "False"
        connBuilder.UserID = userName
        connBuilder.Password = password
        connBuilder.ConnectionTimeout = 60
        Return New SAConnection(connBuilder.ConnectionString)
    End Function
Public Shared Function BuildConnectionString(ByVal hostName As String, ByVal serverName As String, ByVal databaseName As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal password As String, ByVal authenticationMode As String) As String
        Return GetActiveConnection(hostName, serverName, databaseName, userName, password, authenticationMode).ConnectionString.ToString
    End Function
Public Shared Function ConnectStringOK(ByRef ConnectString As String) As Boolean
        Try
            Dim cConnect As String = ConnectString
            Dim sqlC As New SAConnection(cConnect)
            sqlC.Open()
            sqlC.Close()
            Return True
        Catch ex As Exception
            Return False
        End Try
    The connect string is constructed as: "UserID=dba;DatabaseName=NTTest;ServerName=TSTSyb12;Integrated=False;Connection Timeout=60;Host=SVR"

Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

I have an Android method that runs in background performing some DML executions. However, if the device "Moto G" is put in sleep (I could not reproduce this error in any other device), after some minutes the Ultralite starts to thrown the following error for every single SQL execution in the opened connection:

Error[-305]: I/O error 200020 [Interrupted system call,0,312]

Any ideias what is going on?

I've been trying to get a solution for this, but I actually have no idea what to do next.

I want to keep track of which connection use most of resources.

Within Sybase Central (SQL Anywhere 9, 12), for each server and database, we have pane to check in real time All Connected Users and Connections.

How to check for each connect it's cpu and ram consumption (in real time)?

The situation is that we want client machines to connect to a database sever by server (and engine) name - not IP address. This is so that we can update a DNS server to point to a different machine when required (eg a warm-standby server) without having to change thousands of ODBC DSNs.

To this end we use DoBroadcast=NONE in the connection strings eg:

UID=MyUser;PWD=**;DBN=IQX;ENG=IQX;CON=IQXUser51;LOG=C:\iqx.log;LINKS='TCPIP{host=iqx.group.com;DoBroadcast=NONE}'

On some machines this works exactly as expected. In this (slightly artificial) test the wrong server is running at 10.200.129.10:2638 and the correct server is 10.200.129.11:2638 but is not running - we did it that way to be sure of what was happening. Pinging the server name (iqx.group.com) correctly resolves to 10.200.129.11. So we would expect the client to ignore the server at 10 and then fail to connect to the one at 11 - which is exactly what happens:

In this case - although the client is recognising the DoBroadcast setting it is still managing to end up connecting to the wrong server. This may not be a SQL Anywhere problem at all - but how does the client go about finding the server by name once it's been told to ignore sasrv.ini - it is using the DNS or some other method?

NB - I'm not quite sure where the DBG setting is coming from. The connection string is being configured in the ODBC Admin application.

All suggestions gratefully received!

Microsoft released a preview of PowerBI, an authoring tool for visualizing data from a variety of databases as described here:

I am a Sybase enthusiast and I tested whether or not it can connect to SQL Anywhere 16(being one of the Sybase Databases). However I come up with two different kinds of errors connecting to SQL Anyhwere 16

I have started the demo16 successfully. Now I provide the server name required by PowerBI as demo16 and the database name as demo. It throws an exception as follows:

DataSource.Error: Sybase SQL Anywhere: Connection error: No IP address found for demo16
Details:
    Message=Connection error: No IP address found for demo16
    ErrorCode=-2147467259

I go back and look at the properties of the server and I find an IP Adress (NAT) of the computer on which I am running this server. If I use this information for connecting to server from PowerBI, i get a different error as follows:

DataSource.Error: Sybase SQL Anywhere: Login mode 'Integrated' not permitted by login_mode setting
Details:
    Message=Login mode 'Integrated' not permitted by login_mode setting
    ErrorCode=-2147467259

Is the IPAddress of the demo16 server the same as the local machine? Is it possible to run the demo 16 server in Windows authentication mode?

Perhaps SQL Anywhere 16 is not supported?
