Chapter 1 File Locations and Installation Settings
7
In many circumstances, ASTMP is not needed. It can be of use in security-
conscious environments when running the database server as a service, to
enable you to hold the temporary file in a directory that cannot be accessed
by other programs.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable [UNIX]
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
installation_path
/lib
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is used on UNIX only. It is
modified by the installation program to include the directories where
Adaptive Server Anywhere libraries are located.
The executables are located in the
lib
subdirectory of the installation
directory (for example,
/opt/SYBSasa7/lib
).
PATH environment variable
PATH=
installation_path
The PATH environment variable is modified by the installation program to
include the directories where Adaptive Server Anywhere executables are
located.
The executables are located in a subdirectory of the installation directory.
In addition, if you are using other Sybase applications, the
SYBASE\bin
and
SYBASE\dll
directories are added to your path.
On UNIX, each user must have the directory holding the executables
(
/opt/SYBSasa7/bin
) added to their path.
SATMP environment variable
SATMP=
temp_directory
The SATMP environment variable is used by UNIX versions of Adaptive
Server Anywhere to indicate a directory where temporary files are kept.
If more than one database server is running on a machine, each user needs
their own temporary directory. Typically, this is set to
/tmp/.userid
, so that
each user has their own directory and conflicts are avoided.
