Quickbooks Database Server Manager by Intuit, supposedly also runs on GNU\Linux. I've spent some 10-20 hours trying to get it to work (with limited success) and here's what I know.

Overview

What QB Database server manager for Unix is, is Sybase SQL Anywhere. It appears to be tailored to Quickbooks. There are two programs:

  • qbfilemonitord
  • qbdbmgr_##

The number refers to your edition of QB. 2014, uses QBDBMGR_24.

The program is offered in an RPM format. It is possible to convert the RPM to a .DEB and install it on Debian. However there are integrated commands that will fail (a ps -efff which searches the task list for the port and ip of qbdbmgr), so its best run in RHEL. The program is a pair of 32 bit binaries, so it's either run in 32 bit or you can install 32-bit compatibility libraries in 64-bit mode.


Tips/Tricks

Using Sybase tools to discover QB databases

Yes, it is possible to use Sybase tools to discover QB DBs hosted by GNU\Linux on the LAN. You should also technically be able to connect, though I'm not sure what QB uses for credentials.
