System requirements

This section contains the hardware and software requirements for the server and client software included with Adaptive Server 12.5.

Adaptive Server 12.5.0.1 has been released on two versions of the Linux kernel. The release levels of the operating system components for both releases are indicated in the tables below.

Table 2-3 shows the system requirements for installing jConnect for JDBC.

**Table 2-3: System requirements for jConnect on UNIX**
Hardware	Any UNIX platform that supports Java VM 1.2.x
Operating system	Linux/Intel, Sun Solaris, HP UX, IBM AIX, DEC Digital Unix, SGI IRIX, and so on.
Java Developer's Kit	Sun’s JDK 1.2.x or later
Database	Adaptive Server Enterprise, from SQL Server 11.x through Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.x; or Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.5.23 or later, running Open Server Gateway™ dbos50; or Sybase SQL Anywhere Studio 6.0* Some features in jConnect version 4.5 and 5.5 require Adaptive Server Enterprise 12.x or later: Support of wide tables Support for outer join syntax Support for Sybase Failover in high availability systems (“HA Failover”) Implementation of a DynamicClassLoader (or Adaptive Server Anywhere 6.x and later) Support for distributed transaction management —Java Transaction API (JTA), and Java Transaction Service (JTS) For more information on these features, see the Sybase jConnect for JDBC Programmer’s Reference.
Web browser	Any browser that supports JDK 1.1.x or later, such as Netscape 4.0.x, Internet Explorer 4.0.x, or HotJava 1.x
Other Sybase products (optional)	Adaptive Server IQ, OmniConnect, DirectConnect
Web server (optional)	For jConnect’s TDS-tunnelling servlet, any Web server that supports the HTTPS protocol and javax.servlet interfaces
A free evaluation version of SQL Anywhere Studio 6.0 (includes Adaptive Server Anywhere 6.0) is available from Sybasehttp://www.sybase.com/products/anywhere/sqlanyform.html. The Open Server Gateway and the required DLLs are no longer needed with Sybase SQL Anywhere Studio version 6.0 and later.
