To upgrade the server after you have installed the new software:
Run Start | Programs | Sybase | Adaptive Server Enterprise | Server Config.
Click Upgrade Adaptive Server in the Configure Sybase Servers window.
Enter the name of the old Sybase directory. Enter the name of the old Adaptive Server directory, such as ASE-12_0. Enter the old OpenClient Server directory such as OCS-12_0.
Click Continue.
In the Existing Servers window, select the Adaptive Server to upgrade and choose Continue.
In the Password window, enter the administrator login name and password.
Choose Continue.
If Adaptive Server is not running, the upgrade program starts it for you automatically.
Before making any changes to the existing Adaptive Server databases, the Installer states: You are advised to back up your databases before upgrading. Do you want to proceed with the upgrade?
If you have not backed up the existing databases, choose No in the Upgrade window and use the dump database command to make backup copies.
If you have made the necessary backups, select Yes. Server Config begins the database eligibility test.
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 or the Server Config utility internally runs the upgrade binary to perform the upgrade.
If the upgrade was successful, back up all the databases,
including the master database, in your upgraded
Adaptive Server.
To check the upgrade, use the Windows Notepad to view the log file in %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\upgrade\errorlog.upg.
The upgrade process:
Creates the RUN_servername file
Runs installmaster script
