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 12.5.x, select Upgrade Existing Servers from the drop-down menu when InstallShield 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.
From the Server selection window, select the server to upgrade. Click OK.
The Specify Sybase Directories window displays. Provide the installation directory location for both the new server version and your current server.
If the SYBASE environment variable is set, sqlupgrade displays the value of the SYBASE environment variable as the directory location for the new server version.
If the OLDSYBASE environment variable is set, sqlupgrade displays that value as the directory location for your current server.
Provide the release path:
Enter the path where the new Sybase server is installed.
Enter the name of component directory. Leave this field blank if the Backup Server is older than 12.0.
Enter the path to the Open Client/Server Library that the old Backup Server uses. Leave this field blank if it is older than version 12.0.
Click OK.
When you are prompted for the password, enter the password for the SA, 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.
