Installation guide

SAP ASE returns a value of EE, SE, or DE based on the edition that is currently running. See the Reference

Manual for more information about sp_lmconfig.

4.2 SAP ASE Options

SAP offers various optional features for SAP ASE, such as data compression, partitions, and encrypted columns.

Option Description

Data compression Enables compression for regular and large object data, which uses less storage space

for the same amount of data, reduces cache memory consumption, and improves

performance due to lower I/O demands.

Security and directory

services

Provides lightweight directory services and network-based authentication and

encryption using SSL and Kerberos.

Partitions Enables semantic partitioning for table row data.

Encrypted columns Increases security parameters and allows for addition of datatypes.

Tivoli storage manager Enables the database to back up and restore operations to IBM Tivoli Storage

Manager.

In-memory database Provides zero-disk-footprint in-memory database support that is fully integrated with

SAP ASE for high-performance transactional applications. Provides performance

enhancements to disk-resident databases with relaxed durability properties.

SAP ASE editions and optional features are unlocked by SySAM licenses. See the SySAM Users Guide.

To install any of these optional features to an existing SAP ASE installation, use the same steps as you used to

install SAP ASE.

4.3 Managing SAP ASE with SAP Control Center

SAP

Control Center (SCC) provides a single, comprehensive, Web-administration console for real-time

performance, status, and availability monitoring of large-scale SAP enterprise servers.

SAP Control Center combines a modular architecture, a rich-client administrative console, agents, common

services, and tools for managing and controlling SAP products. It includes historical monitoring, threshold-based

alerts and notifications, alert-based script execution, and intelligent tools for identifying performance and usage

trends.

The SAP ASE installer installs these SAP Control Center components:

● Remote Command and Control Agent for SAP ASE – a remote command and control agent that runs on a

managed server, and which is required to manage SAP ASE tasks within SCC.

● SNMP support for SAP ASE – Simple Network Management Protocol is a standard protocol used for network

management. SNMP allows managers and agents to communicate: managers send requests to agents, and

agents respond to queries from managers.
