CHAPTER 6 New Features in EAServer Versions 4.2.3, 4.2.2, 4.2.1, and 4.2
What’s New 45
You can specify the service name when installing a server as a service or
manually starting or stopping the service. To specify the service name, use the
-servicename argument in addition to the arguments documented in Chapter
3, “Creating and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer System Administration
Guide. For example, this command installs the Jaguar server as a Windows
service named MyJaguarService:
serverstart -servername Jaguar -servicename MyJaguarService -install
If you do not specify a service name, the default is the server name.
EAServer 4.2.2 removes the requirement that the JAGUAR and PATH
variables be configured as system environment variables for servers that run as
services.
Adaptive Server Enterprise wide table support
In EAServer 4.2.2, the EAServer version of Open Client™ Client-Library™
adds support for wide tables (
varchar/varbinary columns more than 255 bytes
long and tables with more than 255 columns) when connected to Adaptive
Server® Enterprise version 12.5 or later.
Enhanced character set support
EAServer 4.2.2 supports several new character sets. For the full list, list the
subdirectories of the charsets directory. Each subdirectory matches the name
of a supported character set.
Apache Web server redirector supports EAPI
On Windows platforms, EAServer 4.2.2 adds support for running the Web
server redirector with Apache 1.3 compiled with the Extended API (EAPI)
option. For more information, see the EAServer Installation Guide.
