Two versions of sybase and /dev/async

[Claus Neubronner]

If I install two versions of sybase
(11 and 12) under HP-UX on one system
can they use the same /dev/async ?

thank you and regards

The newer version will over ride any updates.

[Philip Chan_1]

Yes. Why not? I have done similiar setup like what you said before and worked fine. (I was running Sybase 11.0.3.x and 11.9.2 in the same box sharing the same async driver).

[Jim Mulshine]

It's probably not relevant but I've run two different versions of Oracle that used the same /dev/async.

[Antoanetta Naghiu]

It's probably not relevant but I've run Sybase 11.0.3. and 11.0.2 with no problems. For Oracle & Sybase installed in the same box but not concurent running create ln -s /dev/async /dev/async.ora and ln -s /dev/async /dev/async.syb and configure each database to access it own device. Of course, the scrit check first if the other db is running...
