Please be aware that the content in SAP SQL Anywhere Forum will be migrated to the SAP Community in June and this forum will be retired.

The check for updates is returning an error message ("could not check for updates").

I know the forum was down with the OpenID issues and it is back up again but the update service is not.

Yes, sadly the check-for-updates and nexus (aka dbsupport) sites are down again due to cough more network changes that cough IT has been making :-( I'll post another response when the site is back up.

Thanks for the info (the forum is very slow also today)!

EBF # 3757 (Windows) and # 3759 (Linux) have been made available at http://downloads.sybase.com

I just tried from Sybase Central though and the "Check for Updates" is still down (as of 07/26 9:30am CST).

This service is still down - for good?

Yes, the service is still down. First there were several [cough] IT issues that needed to be diagnosed and resolved, and once they were fixed there was a hardware failure.... and now IT is working on rebuilding the system.

...any chance IT could manage this via a cloud solution like SA OnDemand Edition? - No, no serious request:)

Don't get me wrong, but the time unit seems wrong within that dialog - shouldn't it be dateformat = 'mm' instead of 'nn'? :)

I have EBF 3750 installed. The service is now showing "You are Up-To-Date" but 3769 is listed as available for XP workstations as of 08/14 at http://downloads.sybase.com

The Check for Update seems to be up and running again.

...for a few days, methinks, and interestingly, when running 12.0.1.3726 on Windows, two days ago, it stilled recommended 12.0.1.3750 whereas today, it recommends the current 12.0.1.3769 EBF - although the latter has been release over a month ago.

So the service still seems not that reliable IMHO...

I completely agree!
