Resource file attributes for upgrading Adaptive Server

Table 8-1 shows the resource file attribute names, their default values, and other options, which you use in the resource file for upgrading Adaptive Server. The sample resource file in the $SYBASE_ASE/init/sample/upgrade file included in your Adaptive Server distribution shows examples of these attributes.

All attributes are required. And all values are case sensitive.

If the resource file you are modifying was created by sqlupgrade, the prefix of the attribute name may vary. sqlupgraderes ignores this prefix when processing the resource file.
