Before you can upgrade Backup or Monitor Server, you must upgrade Adaptive Server.
XP Server does not have a formal upgrade process.
Back up all databases, including master,
after successfully upgrading Adaptive Server and Backup Server.
Upgrading Backup and Monitor Servers
The procedures for upgrading Backup Server and Monitor Server are similar.
If you are upgrading during the initial installation of Adaptive Server 15.0, select Upgrade Existing Servers from the drop-down menu when the Installer prompts Build or Upgrade Adaptive Server, Backup, and Monitor Servers.
This launches the sqlupgrade utility. Click OK.
If you are upgrading after the initial installation, start the sqlupgrade utility from the command line. Enter:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/sqlupgrade
A warning message appears. Click OK to continue.
The next screen prompts you to enter the old Sybase directory and the old Adaptive Server directory.
From the Server selection window, select the server to upgrade. Click OK.
When you are prompted for the password, enter the password for the System Administration, and click OK.
The Status output window display the upgrade progress. When the upgrade is complete it displays, “Done.” Click OK.
You return to the sqlupgrade window. You can either upgrade another server, or click Exit to leave the utility.
Repeat this procedure to upgrade Monitor Server.
