Hi,
id SQL Anywhere Studio certificated to run in RedHat Linux Enterprise 4?

I noted that the new 9.0.2 version of ASA does support the kernel 2.6.
But, will it work on RHEL4?

Many thanks
Oliver

Linux 9.0.2 release has not (yet) been thoroughly tested on RHEL4...
Some tests were run at the last minute (just before release) and nothing showed
up, so I suspect that its ok, but you never know !...
We're working on a 9.0.2 Linux EBF that is being thoroughly tested on RHEL4
so when that is done, the support matrix will be updated. Note however that
this testing won't be completed for a few weeks.

BTW: Linux 9.0.1 build 1989 has been thoroughly tested on RHEL4 so that build
(or later builds of 9.0.1) is supported.

Hi Mark,
excelent. I will use version 9.0.1 build 1989 instead.

I looked in the support matrix and did not find RHEL4 listed, but
found kernel 2.6 listed, so I asumed it would work on RHEL4.

Can the support matrix or the RedHat Aplication catalog be updated
with this info? So I can point developers to an official document
where it says that ASA9 runs on RHEL4? I have some developers saying
that it wont work on RHEL4.

Since I'm running a production server, I will update only to
the supported versions of ASA, that is, 9.0.1 build 1989.

Many thanks Mark for the support!
Oliver

FWIW: We're working on revamping the support matrix as far as Linux is
concerned (this info is moving to a new page that will better describe what
Linux distros / kernels / glibc / etc are and are not supported).
The new information should (hopefully) show up in the next week or so.

Hi Mark,
I understand. Well, I can wait a couple of weeks
for updating to RHEL4.
The problem is that my developer need official support
for RHEL4 and the new support matrix will help me on that.

Thanks
Oliver
