SQL Server and Sybase Linked Server Issue

Question

In SQL Server 2008 using the Sybase 12.5 driver everything works fine but now we had migrated to SQL Server 2012 and Sybase 15 using the 64bit driver it seems that things are broken.

If I test linked server connection it gives me linked server succeeded message but as I visually drill down the catalogs though it lists all of them they show as blank like such

but the item count is correct as we have that many catalogs in our Sybase. Another funny thing that I recognized is that when I perform and OPENQUERY it gives me the correct amount of rows and still it is showing empty strings, like such

I dont have any idea what is happening here and my only clue is this error message when I drill down inside those blank databases. This exception prompts.

Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------

Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES" for OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "TEST". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7311)

Any ideas why this might be happening? does anyone know a solution to this?

Answer 1

I solved this by restarting my Server, it looks like the Sybase drivers was not fully registered on install.
