Any way to get the latest 12.5.4 patch?

[arthurkirchner]

Dear all,

today we ran an issue with a procedure that occoured only on our 12.5.4 VM (12.5.4 EBF 16791 ESD #10 Win32), a that runs like a charm on 15.7.

Now, we know that ASE 12.5.4 is deprecated, nevertheless it would help us a lot, if we'd have the latest 12.5.4 patch avaliable (ESD#11?).

Unfortunately, SAP Marketplace does only offer patches from 15.5 on,

Could you give me a hint? Any help will be appreciated,

All the Best

Sybase and now SAP don't keep archived versions of their software.  You might find such a patch via nefarious ways though. The legality of obtaining such a patch will vary from country to country but generally, it is a bad idea to do so.  Upgrade if you can or migrate it to another dbms (your application may work with another dbms - check with your vendor).

Thank you Jason,

we certainly won't try to find the patch by any means, but it's sad that we cannot do such simple thing as downloading a patch for a software that still is in productive use. We have to test our software on 12.5.4, because we cannot force all our customers to upgrade.

If some decision maker reads this: you could easily make your customers so much happier.

All the Best

In fact,

SAP keeps archived versions of their software and there are no nefarious ways needed to find them. What we needed was our senior systems specialist to provide us with the link to archive though: Archive | SAP Support Portal
