Hi,

How do I start the servoy_installer.jar?!? I assume the .jar extension has to be linked to a certain Java executable, right?

On my testmachine it isn’t, it’s linked to WINRar, so double clicking the Jar, doesn’t start the installation.

I allready reinstalled the Java SDK, but that didn’t solve the problem…

Any help appreciated…

Paul

Hello, you need to open the .jar with javaw.exe (probabyl in C:/program files/java/bin). Then it should work.

Tnx, picked the wrong Java executable before :lol:

I am still having the same problem with the field formats in ver 11. If I format a field with a curreny format the user must type in “$5.00” instead of just 5.
Windows and OSX same problem.

6

you have to specify display|editformat for you formatter
See the forum post which adresses this.

Are there any key benefits that we should see or that we should be aware of now that iAnywhere is included with Servoy ?

8

Sybase is quite faster than firebird but, in my point of view, the real PLUS is the managing tool “Sybase Central”… Field definition, key definition, db-encription, backups, etc, etc…

9

Thanks Enrico,

Forgive my ignorance but is the ‘Sybase Central’ tool a freeware utility or is it a licensed product from Sybase ?

10

As a Servoy developer you can download a copy from
http://www.ianywhere.com/downloads/sqlany.html for no additional fees.

11

Thanks Jan.

I am downloading as we speak…

12

Succesfully downloaded the Sybase SQL Anywhere software which includes the Sybase Central tool - amongst others.

Now I just have to try to squeeze in time to work through it all !

13

I like the notion that Sybase is faster than Firebird. How do I transfer a solution from firebird to Sybase?

14

Open a Firebird based Servoy, choose File → Repository. Highlight the version you want to export, check the export sample data button.

Open a Sybase based Servoy and import it, don’t forget to check the import sample data button.
If you have tables that contain more than 10,000 rows you’ll have to use database tools to transfer the data. On windows you can use EMS Firebird manager to export data.

15

While trying to run the servoy_installer.jar with jawaw i permanantly get the message:

Java Virtual machine launcher:
Could not find the main class. Programm will exit.

Any idea what to do ? May there something wrong with a classpath?[/code]

16

It indicates you don’t have the correct version of Java installed. Make sure to install the version you can find here:

Thanks for the quick reply!

:( unfortunatly it didnM-4t help. I had already the right version, uninstalled it, reinstalled it and got the same message…
I just wanted to this to do this to change to the iAnwhere Database. (The Firebird release ..11 works fine)

I changed manually to the iAnywhere database. The only part i miss, is the service to start the Databases. For that i thought it would be handy to use your servoy.config file.

It would be great if you could post the content of this file.

18

it looks like youre jar file is corrupt..
Did you try to download it again?

sybase config looks like this:

-ti 0 -x tcpip{dobroadcast=no} -qs -qw -o sybase_db/sybase_log.txt
database/servoy_repository.db
database/user_data.db
database/example.db
database/log_data.db
database/crm.db

but what good would that do for you because do you have sybase installed?

Hi!

Exciting news with this new release! iAnywhere sounds interesting - I noticed that one of the features of iAnywhere is data syncronization, and transaction queing etc … when offline…

  1. How does Servoy take advantage of these features of iAnywhere?
  2. Where on the roadmap will Servoy port itself to operate on Palm or Windows CE? Can ya give us a rough idea?

Thanks a bunch!!!

Keep up the good work! :D

The jar File is ok. Worked fine on the mac…

There must be something wrong with my environment on the PC (Windows XP).

Needed the servoy.config file to have a look how to configurate the server. There are many options.
Now I am starting a service wich get the options from a file. It’ s strange it works only if iplace the file directly in c:/ … however…

Another extraordinary behavior i found while starting the server on the mac:
If i run the command “dbsrv9 -n servername” in the Terminal directly (without shell) it works fine. If i use the shell i get always a “command not found” back. I think i have to get more familiar with the terminal…
