Hello,

How do I report this and where so it is resolved?

You can open a technical support case or report it via the free Bug
Report Case service on case express depending on the priority of the
issue for you.

To report this via the free service, go to
http://case-express.sybase.com and select "Create Bug Report Case" in
the sidebar menu list. Please read the "Important Message Regarding Bug
Reports" as it defines the terms and service levels for this service.

You can call tech support; an answer is guaranteed, although it might
not be a solution: http://www.sybase.com/ianywhere/services-support

You can report it on Case-Express where AFAIK an answer is not
guaranteed: http://case-express.sybase.com

You can be patient, wait at least 24 to 48 hours for an answer here,
but that is not guaranteed.

You could try posting it on sqla.stackexchange.com but once again, an
answer is not guaranteed.

You might have better luck here and on SQLA if you ask "When will SQL
Anywhere support Windows 7?"

Hi Robert,

PROGRAMDATA points to a hidden directory (c:/ProgramData). Files created in
that directory only have read/write privileges for their creator. This makes
it a bad area for files that need full access for all accounts on the
machine (like the file .scRepository600). (Note that this problem has been
encountered by other application developers too.)
For 11.0.0, we chose the directory 'C:\Users\Public\Documents' to ensure all
accounts have full access.

APPDATA points to c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming.
However, the Java JDK identifies the value of the user.home System Property
as the directory where a users files can reside. It points to
c:\Users\<username> and this is where we write the (very small) application
settings files (like .jlogon11).

Hello,

Why not write to Program Files and let Windows handle it on the user level
virtualized directories. All programs (old) which point to Program Files
will be redirected automatically.

OR --- why not get rid of the entire files all together and use the USERS
Registry portion to store/read the data?

There are many places that data can be written without putting it where
Sybase is putting it now. Otherwise, there'd be 100 applications of data in
that directory. Right now, the only person putting files in that directory
right now is Sybase. :-)
