RDBMS - Sybase Variables

APPX_SYBASE_DATABASE

Specifies a default Sybase database name. This variable is superseded by the new RDBMS-related options you can enter for FMS Groups and in File Specifications on the Database Management menu. These options are more flexible than environment variables and are the preferred choice. This information is presented for completeness.

Valid values: existing Sybase database name

Default value: not set

APPX_SYBASE_LEVEL0

Enables “Level 0” table locking in Sybase. This is still a development feature and should not be enabled unless requested by APPX Software.

Valid values: 1

Default value: not set

APPX_SYBASE_LIB

Specifies the Sybase library location for dynamic linking. Normally there is a preset Sybase-based environment variable that points to the home directory for the user ‘sybase’. In some cases you may want APPX to dynamically link to a set of libraries that is not in the usual location (for example, when testing a new version). In that case, set APPX_SYBASE_LIB to that alternate location, and that will override Sybase’s setting.

Valid values: path to Sybase library

Default value: not set

APPX_SYBASE_PACK_SIZE

Determines the packet size for Sybase database server communications. Setting this variable to 4096 may improve communications efficiency.

Valid values: integers

Default value: not set

APPX_SYBASE_SERVER

Specifies the default Sybase server name. This variable has been superseded by FMS group settings, and is included here only for completeness.

Valid values: valid Sybase server name

Default value: not set
