Storage setup - SAP ASE

In the Storage Management Setup (/DVD/SM_SETUP), create new storage with BLOB_ASE storage type.

  • Storage ID: Name of the storage.

  • Storage Type: Type of storage. Use storage type BLOB_ASE for the SAP ASE storage.

  • Description: Short text description.

  • Blob Size (Kbytes): During the data transfer, data will be split into portions according to Blob size. Every portion with binary data will be transferred to storage and stored as a separate entry in the cluster table.

  • Database Prefix: The name of the cluster table generated on the storage will contain a database prefix and number with 10 digits.

  • DB Connection Name: existing SAP database connection (DBCO).

  • Generate DB indexes: A default index on the cluster table will be created, improving the performance of reading data, but the performance of writing data could be degraded.

Example configuration of DBCO (NSD system) :

SYBASE_SERVER=vsks055

SYBASE_PORT=4901

SYBASE_DBNAME=DVD

SYBASE_DBOWNER=SAPSR3
