Sybase 16 is currently not supported in TDV.
Using Sybase 16 requires downgrading the jConnect version on the Sybase 16 server to Sybase 15 level.
A proper Sybase 16 adapter needs to be implemented, which has full support for appropriate jConnect levels.
We're happy to share that our latest release, Spotfire Data Virtualization 8.9 now has support for Sybase 16: https://docs.tibco.com/pub/sdv/8.9.0/SPOT_sdv_8.9.0_relnotes.pdf?id=1
We are seeing a number of issues (introsp[ection, privileges, etc.) that seem to be related to lack of sybase 16 adapter. Downgrading to sybase 15 functionality does not help.
