Special installation instructions

Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0 includes new versions of many supporting components. The most current version of other Sybase products (such as Enterprise Connect Data Access 12.6) contain earlier versions of those same components. Installing Adaptive Server version 15.0 into the same directory with existing products should not impact the existing products.

WARNING! Installing other products on top of Adaptive Server version 15.0 may result in one or more products not working correctly.

Sybase strongly recommends that you install Adaptive Server version 15.0 into its own directory. Where this is not practical, install Adaptive Server version 15.0 last.

See “Highlighted known installation issues” for known installation problems.

WARNING! Sybase recommends that you not install an older version of a Sybase product in a $SYBASE directory that already includes a newer Sybase product as this may not work. For example, attempting to install Replication Server 12.6 on top of Adaptive Server 15.0 may make either Adaptive Server Enterprise or Replication Server inoperable depending on the choices taken during install.
