Default Sybase EBF Information - 01-27-2004 , 08:21 AM






Hi,

Does anyone know where I can get a list of EBFs for Sybase 11.9.2 and
information on the updates included in each one? I'm drawing a blank
on the Sybase website (as usual) and don't want to download the whole
EBF itself to get at the information.

Thanks,

Chad.

You only need one of the latest Cover Letters.
They include the whole list of bugs; not only
with those corrected in the latest but also
on previous EBFs. The first column (SwrID) is
the EBF number.

Mariano Corral

Hi Chad,

ASE EBFs are cumulative, so you only need to install the latest one.
If
you are still interested in what CRs were fixed in what EBF, you can
also
get that information from the latest one (11.9.2.6 ESD #1), as the
coverletter includes a listing of CRs fixed in it and the SWR number
of the EBF the CR was first fixed in on your platform.

example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWR Number CR was first fixed in.
Quote:
CR Number
\/ \/
10491 275814 In rare circumstances, a session which attempts to
execute a non-transactional RPC may sleep
indefinitely
while making the remote connection.

10491 274695 A 2620 error may be reported when loading a
transaction
dump in which a page split is recovered as part of a
transaction which was incomplete in the preceeding
LOAD
TRAN.

10031 273592 Trailing spaces are incorrectly added to the result
of
the SUBSTRING builtin function when it is assigned
to a
CHAR varaible, if Adaptive Server is started with
the
4048 trace flag.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't want to download 11.9.2.6 ESD #1,
let me know and I can email you just the coverletter.

Hi Bret,

Thanks for the help. In the end I downloaded the whole patch and
extracted the coverletter. Had to do this from home since we have
tough download restrictions at work. I'm still surprised that there is
no organised list of versions and patches available on the Sybase
website - infact the whole site could do with some reworking in my
opinion.

Regards,
Chad.

You can simply download just the coverletter itself without the actual
binaries. On the donwload page, just click on the document-like icon
at the start of the line.

HTH,
