[Tip] How to work with more than one Developer version

When you work with Servoy Developer you can have different installations. Each installation holds it’s own databases like the repository, user_data etc..

When you want to switch from one developer to the other you have to you close the running databases yourself first (the standard is Sybase iAnywhere, and that is what we are talking about here), or else you will find yourself working on the wrong repository. You will sort of mix them up because Servoy keeps the connections open.

But there is another way. You can start en stop the Sybase repository when starting up and closing down Servoy Developer. How? See below:

1. close Servoy Developer and you Sybase databases
2. go into the directory sybase_db of your Servoy root
3. open the file ‘sybase.config’ in a text editor
4. change the beginning of the first line that looks like:
   -ti 0
    into:
   -ga
5. save the file
6. start Servoy Developer again.

That's all...
