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...

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

[pbakker]

Tnx, picked the wrong Java executable before

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.

[jcompagner]

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 ?

[automazione]

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...

[Harry Catharell]

Thanks Enrico,

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

[Jan Aleman]

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

[Harry Catharell]

Thanks Jan.

I am downloading as we speak......

[Harry Catharell]

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 !

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

[Jan Aleman]

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.

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]
