Hello all - I've installed the 32 bit client of SQLA 9.0.2 on 64-bit
Windows 7 and the Sybase client can't find the server (which is
running on a 32-bit Windows XP Professional PC) - even with a
dblocate.exe 1.1.1.1 (using IP address of server). "No servers
found." is the result.

This configuration works at my office - just not at a client's. And
other PCs running this client on other Windows XP PCs can see the
server just fine. Any ideas?

We've had a similar problem with Windows 7. First thing would be to
check the firewall settings, even temporarily disabling it. What solved
the issue for us was setting HOST=<Server IP> in the ODBC TCP/IP
configuration.

Hi ALF,

The database server location mechanism relies on UDP broadcasts working
between machines. (i.e. The client sends out a UDP broadcast looking for
a server, the server listening on its own UDP port, responds via UDP
back to the client).

If this mechanism isn't working specifically for clients on Windows 7,
I'd try looking for reasons that mechanism might be not working at the
OS level (including UAC security settings, and as Reimer suggested, the
Windows Firewall settings -
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ndows-firewall

).

If you can't locate the server via UDP, you might be able to still
connect via TCP. This can be specified on the client's connection
string, by using the LINKS connection parameter:
http://www.ianywhere.com/developer/p...9/00000235.htm

LINKS=TCPIP(HOST=1.1.1.1;PORT=2638;DOBROAD=NONE)

A final note, we still have not announced official support for 9.0.2 on
Windows 7: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1002288

This support is still currently being evaluated by engineering.

Regards,

Jeff,

I am sorry it took this long to get back to you.

There is nothing at all in the EVENT VIEWER.

This is what we see:

dbunload -v -c
"UID=dba;PWD=***;DBF=C:\Databases\christyv13\roomm aster.db;DBKEY=ZQWUPHGI5380"
-an "C:\DB\roommaster.db" -ap 4096 -ea None -ii -sa -so _sc638416845

An error occurred while attempting to unload the database
'C:\Databases\christyv13\roommaster.db'.

But, the exact thing works just fine on my WIN7 32-BIT machine with the
exact same version loaded.

Check for the dll dbtools11.dll in your BIN32 directory and if it is it
, make sure that it can be loaded by Sybase Central i.e., no Windows 7
security issues that impede its use.

BTW I have tested this and can only reproduce this problem when
components of the BIN32 are missing - recall that SC is a 32 bit
application and needs 32 bit libraries to run.

The dbtool11.dll was not in my BIN32 directory. It was in the BIN64
directory.

I copied the dbtool11.dll into the BIN32 directory (did not remove it from
BIN64, so it is currently in both places) and I still receive the same error
when attempting to unload.

Again, you need the 32 bit version. You copied the 64 bit version. You
might need to reinstall the 32bit components.

Hi,

I'm lost - why am I copying in the 32-bit components??

Isn't this the 64-bit version of Sybase SQL Anywhere?

Why am I using 32-bit components to make this work? I guess it's not really
64-bit or something?

I'm confused. Is this not a 64-bit application?

Besides...what do you mean "reinstall the 32-bit components".

This is a 64-bit OP system, and I downloaded the 64-bit Installation from
Sybase and installed it, and EBF'ed it.

Why am I having to do now a 32-bit installation on this machine too? or why
are we talking about 32-bit to make the UNLOAD work?

What am I missing here?
