sqlupgrade verifies that the server is eligible for the upgrade. Perform all pre-upgrade tasks before running sqlupgrade.
To upgrade using sqlupgrade:
Make sure your current server is running.
Verify that you have performed the tasks mentioned on the window, before beginning the upgrade.
Source SYBASE.csh before running sqlupgrade.
Execute sqlupgrade, by entering at the UNIX prompt:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/sqlupgrade
A sqlupgrade window now displays.
The first screen warns you to back up the databases, devices, and so on. Click Next to proceed to the next screen.
Click OK.
The Next screen prompts you to enter the old Sybase directory, and the old Adaptive Server directory.
Click OK. The Adaptive Server Selection window displays.
From the list of server names provided, select the server you want to upgrade.
If the server you are upgrading is not running, sqlupgrade prompts you to start the server. The server you are upgrading must be running.
Click OK. The SA Password window is displayed.
Enter the password for the System Administrator (sa) login.
Click OK. The Specifying Upgrade Options window is displayed.
Specify an upgrade option.
The upgrade eligibility tests verify that your current server meets the requirements for upgrading to the new version. (The online help provides a partial list of what the upgrade eligibility tests check.) If your current server fails the upgrade eligibility test, you must fix the problem.
Adaptive Server 11.9.x did not automatically create a sybsystemprocs database and device. Unless you have created one, the eligibility test fails. The Back button launches the “Specify sybsystemprocs” window.
Enter the full path to the sybsystemprocs device and at least 124MB for the sybsystemprocs database. Click OK to continue with the eligibility test.
Click OK to upgrade your server.
sqlupgrade displays the Status Output window.View the Status Output window for the completion status and informational messages about the upgrade process.
WARNING! Do not interrupt the upgrade, and do not try to connect to Adaptive Server or run any stored procedures while the upgrade is in progress.
You can also check the progress of the upgrade by viewing the sqlupgrade log in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/logs/sqlupgradeMMDD.NNN.
After all pre-upgrade checks are successful, the old server is shut down and the new Adaptive Server dataserver binary is started on the old master device. sqlupgrade internally runs the upgrade binary to perform the upgrade.
If the upgrade is successful, a “Done” message is displayed in the Status Output window.
On some UNIX platforms, the sqlupgrade utility
may not return you to the command prompt even though the upgrade
has completed successfully. To exit the utility, press Ctrl+C.
The upgrade process:
Creates the RUN_servername file
Runs the installmaster script
Check that the upgrade has been successful by logging
in to the server and checking select @@version to
confirm that it is at 15.0. Also, sp_configure “upgrade
version” should return 15000.
For information about compiled objects, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
When the upgrade completes successfully, you can:
Click OK to specify another server to upgrade, or
Exit sqlupgrade, and go to “Post-upgrade tasks”.
