If your InfoMaker application has reports and forms that access an Adaptive Server Anywhere database, you need to deploy the Adaptive Server Anywhere DBMS as well as Adaptive Server Anywhere’s ODBC database drivers. You can deploy the Adaptive Server Anywhere Desktop Runtime System without incurring additional license fees. The runtime system allows the user to retrieve and modify data in the database, but does not allow modifications to the database schema. It does not support transaction logs, stored procedures, or triggers. The runtime system is installed on your computer when you install the EAS Demo DB or the tutorial.
Restrictions
InfoMaker includes Adaptive Server Anywhere for use during
the development process. However, this product cannot be deployed
royalty-free to your users.
If your application requires the data definition language (DDL), a transaction log, stored procedures, or triggers, see your Sybase sales representative.
In addition to deploying the runtime system, you need to do the following for your users:
Make your application’s data source available
Configure ODBC to access the data source
For more information about deploying Adaptive Server Anywhere databases and applications, see the Adaptive Server Anywhere User’s Guide.
A full installation for the Adaptive Server Anywhere driver, runtime engine, and supporting files is available in the Support directory on the CD. The following table lists some of the files that are installed when you select Runtime Server in the install program. You can also choose to install Help files, SQL Anywhere 5.0/6.0 compatibility DLLs, and InstallShield templates.
