Installing client software

Bravura Security Fabric communicates with the SAP ASE server via the TDS protocol. Before you can target SAP ASE, you must install the ASE PC Client software (typical install) on the Bravura Security Fabric server.

SAP ASE 15 or later supports the DB-lib and requires libsybdb.dll to be in the system path. SAP ASE 12.5 or earlier supports the CT-lib and requires libsybcs.dll to be in the system path.

Using the Dsedit utility on the Bravura Security Fabric server, add a connection for each SAP ASE server you want to manage. To do this:

  1. Open the Dsedit utility. This program configures your client to connect to SAP ASE instances.

    Another window, titled Select Directory Service, may appear depending on your client.

  2. Select InterfacesDriver, then click OK.

  3. Select Server Object > Add from the toolbar.

  4. Enter a name for the SAP ASE server and then click OK. Remember this server name, as it will be used later by Bravura Security Fabric to target the server.

  5. Double-click the Server Address for the server you just added. In the Network Address Attribute window, click Add.

  6. Select TCP and then type the address to the server in the format:

    <host name>,<portnumber>

    For example, type sybasesrv,5000 .

    Note

    It is recommended that the Bravura Security Fabric server be rebooted after the installation of the SAP (Sybase) client software. This is to ensure that the new SAP (Sybase) environment variables are properly recognized by IIS.

    Defining a connection isn’t required if the SAP (Sybase) server will be targeted using server name and port number. It’s only required when targeting using server name only.
