SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16.0 Components by Platforms

The following tables list components that are available across each platform supported by SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere. Note that, with a few exceptions, components that are available in all supported platforms are not listed. For ease of reading, the platforms are grouped by operating system vendor, operating system name and processor architecture.

Information about support for a specific operating system version is located at SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere Supported Platforms and Engineering Support Status.

The following tables are available:

1. Databases
   • SQL Anywhere
   • UltraLite
2. Synchronization, Messaging and Replication
   • MobiLink
   • MobiLink consolidated databases

• SQL Remote for SQL Anywhere

Databases

SQL Anywhere

UltraLite

Synchronization, Messaging and Replication

MobiLink

For a list of platforms that can run the Relay Server and a list operating systems that it was tested on, please refer to this document.

The MobiLink server communicates with the consolidated databases through an ODBC driver. The ODBC driver may not be available for some consolidated databases on some platforms. The consolidated database and MobiLink server are not required to run on the same platform. Provided the consolidated database is running on a supported platform as specified by the database vendor, and the MobiLink server is communicating with the consolidated database using a supported ODBC driver, this is considered a supported MobiLink server configuration. The following table lists the platforms that can run the MobiLink server for supported consolidated databases.

For more details about the ODBC drivers, please refer to the document Recommended ODBC Drivers for MobiLink.
