Sybase ASE
The Avamar Plug-in for Sybase ASE includes the following new features and
enhancements in release 7.0:
◆ Support for five different types of Sybase database consistency checks, including dbcc
checkcatalog, dbcc checkdb, cbcc checkdb skip ncindex, and dbcc checkstorage. The
checks can run before a scheduled or on-demand backup, after a restore, or as a
separate operation from backup or restore.
◆ Support for multiple Sybase versions on the same Sybase server host, and multiple
Sybase instances as long as the Sybase instances use different names.
You can install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Sybase on the same host on 64-bit
Linux or 64-bit Windows. You must install the 32-bit Sybase plug-in package on the
64-bit Linux or Windows system.
◆ Support for backup or restore of multiple databases through the avsybase command
from the CLI. To specify multiple database names, separate items in the format
server_name/database_name on the avsybase command line. You can also
specify multiple database names with the avsybase command for a print-headers
operation.
◆ Support for features of Sybase ASE release 15.7.x, including Sybase database
compression, the shrink log feature, and the threaded kernel option.
◆ New location for client logs and cache files. The new location is the
var/clientlogs directory, which provides full access to non-root users. To use
existing caches created by the previous plug-in release, you must manually move the
caches from the var directory to the var/clientlogs directory.
