Summary :
This SAP Note details the procedure for updating Sybase ASE, JDBC, and ODBC drivers for use with SAP Business Suite products. Key points include a strict instruction to download updates solely through the SAP Service Marketplace, rather than Sybase websites. Applicable patches can be found in the Support Packages and Patches section under the Sybase ASE tab of the SAP download catalog. Identification of current software versions involves command-line prompts and administrative tools within the ASE environment. The Note emphasizes using co-released server and driver software versions to ensure compatibility and provides several references to specific patch deliveries for various ASE software components, dating from November 2011 to March 2012. Updating protocols for JDBC and ODBC drivers also require minimum versions of the ASE server for proper functionality.
