Q: When I install Sybase ASE 15, the building of the "Adaptive Server" fails, what can I do?

A: If you can not build the "Adaptive Server" with Sybase installer, please follow the steps below (# means that the command is run with the root account, $ means that the command is run with the sybase account):

If you have already done step 1, you can skip it

1. As root
   

   # cat /opt/sybase/SYBASE.sh >> /home/sybase/.bash_profile 

   # su - sybase 

2. Using sybase account
   

   $ export LD_POINTER_GUARD=0 

   $ mkdir -p ~/rs 

   $ cp ~/ASE-15_0/init/sample_resource_files/srvbuild.adaptive_server.rs ~/rs/as.rs 

3. modify the file as.rs as below:
   

   sybinit.release_directory: USE_DEFAULT

   sybinit.product: sqlsrv

   sqlsrv.server_name: <YOUR SERVER NAME>

   sqlsrv.new_config: yes

   sqlsrv.do_add_server: yes

   sqlsrv.network_hostname_list: <YOUR HOSTNAME LIST>

   sqlsrv.network_port_list: 5000

   sqlsrv.server_page_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.force_buildmaster: no

   sqlsrv.master_device_physical_name: /opt/sybase/data/master.dat

   sqlsrv.master_device_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.master_database_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.errorlog: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.do_upgrade: no

   sqlsrv.sybsystemprocs_device_physical_name: /opt/sybase/data/sysprocs.dat

   sqlsrv.sybsystemprocs_device_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.sybsystemprocs_database_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.sybsystemdb_device_physical_name: /opt/sybase/data/sybsystemdb.dat

   sqlsrv.sybsystemdb_device_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.sybsystemdb_database_size: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.default_backup_server: SYB_BACKUP

   sqlsrv.addl_cmdline_parameters:

   Replace <YOUR SERVER NAME>, <YOUR HOSTNAME LIST> and <YOUR SQLSRV SERVER NAME> by yours.

4. Build the server
   

   $ srvbuildres -r ~/rs/as.rs
