Installation directory structure
When you install Adaptive Server Anywhere, several directories may be
created. Some of the files in these directories are essential, and others are
not. This section describes the directory structure.
Adaptive Server Anywhere software, whether you receive it as a product or
bundled as part of another product, is installed under a single installation
directory. The tools provided with the Adaptive Server Anywhere product,
however, are installed in other directories. This section describes only the
installation directory structure for Adaptive Server Anywhere itself.
The Adaptive Server Anywhere installation directory itself holds several
items, including the following:
♦
The sample database The sample database is held in the file
asademo.db
.
♦
Read Me First A Read Me First file named
readme.txt
holds late-
breaking information.
For platforms other than Novell NetWare and Windows CE, there are several
directories under the installation directory:
♦
Executable directories There is a separate directory for each
operating system, which holds executables, dynamic link libraries, and
help files.
If you are using Windows 95/98, or NT, these files are installed in the
win32
directory. If you are using UNIX, they are installed in the
bin
directory. On NetWare, the executables are stored in the installation
directory itself.
You will not have all these directories on your machine; you will have
only the ones required for the operating system version you installed.
♦
Java directory Java base classes are stored in this directory.
♦
ProcDebug directory The stored procedure debugger is stored in this
directory.
♦
Scripts directory The scripts directory contains SQL scripts that are
used by the database administration utilities and as examples. With the
exception of specific scripts (
custom.sql
,
custmap.sql
), do not edit these
scripts. If the scripts directory is not present, the administration utilities
will not work.
♦
Examples directories There are separate directories for C (
cxmp
) and
Java (
jxmp
) examples.
