To start the 12.6 server, change to a directory where you have write privileges. Run the start_asiq utility, using the following command format:
start_asiq @configuration_filename.cfg dbname.db
The dbname is the name of the 12.4.3 or 12.5 database that you wish to upgrade. (You may also start the server using any of the startup methods described in Sybase IQ System Administration Guide.)
Run start_asiq only from a session where you have previously set the environment variables. For information about setting the variables, see Chapter 1.
If you run the utility from a directory that does not
contain the database and configuration files, be sure to provide
the full pathname for the file or files.
