Bad bug with new version of Mac Sybase Central (9.0.2)

Classic Servoy

It will hang when starting up a server or database connection on 10.4.x server operating system. Keep your 9.0.1 installer around!

Yes I found something similar. I thought it was just me missing something! I also found that if you have used 9.0.2 to open a database that you cannot open it anymore with 9.0.1. At least I couldn’t.

I successfully started Sybase Central Version 9.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.4 using Java version 1.4.2_07. I thought I ran into the problem earlier however my terminal software was not properly configured.

What version of Java are you running? Are you running any system updates or Java updates?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I am running both Java 1.5 as well as 1.4. I don’t remember exactly what Java I was running at the time I did that but I think it was 1.4. I have always downloaded the latest system and Java updates and installed 1.5 shortly after it came out. Having had all sorts of problems getting my databases going again after installing 9.0.2, I’m a little reluctant to start messing around with it unless I’m sure it will work. What do you mean that your terminal software was not properly configured? I have never used Terminal when running Sybase Central and never thought it was necessary. Any help though greatly appreciated!

The software update “Java 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 Release 2” has been released for 10.4.2 since I had my problem. Not sure if it will make a difference. I’ll play around with it some again after Servoy World is over.

The Version 9.0.x Administration Tools such as Interactive SQL and Sybase Central have not been tested with Java 1.5 and I cannot comment on what behavior you will observe with the tools running with Java 1.5. These tools environment has a preference to Java 1.4.*.

In my particular case, I am using Mac OS X 10.4.1.

We have also attempted to reproduce the hang/crash with Mac OS X Version 10.4.2 with Java 1.4.x and could reproduce this problem. There must be something with the environment on one of your machines.

same problem here..

Sybase Central starts up, try to connect to database and it hangs.

Has anyone found a workaround for this? Does anyone have the 9.0.1 installer?

Servoy 2.2.1, java 1.4.2, Mac OS X 10.4.2, Powerbook G4.
