Cannot execute file RUN_SYBASE

If Sybase ASE has not started automatically you may wish to start it manually. Command used to start server is:

startserver

located by default in /opt/sap/ASE-16_0/bin. This script by default searches for a file /opt/sap/ASE-16_0/install/RUN_SYBASE. This file contains startup parameters used by server during start. However if during the installation you chosed to name the server differently, such a file is not present. Instead of this another file should be placed in that directory. On my server it is RUN_SAP01. To direct startserver script to use that file you can pass the path as parameter using -f:

./startserver -f /opt/sap/ASE-16_0/install/RUN_SAP01

That's all! You can verify if server is working starting command:

showserver

Output should be similiar to:

[sap@localhost ~]$ showserver
