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 instructions for upgrading Backup Server and Monitor Server are similar.
Launch the Server Config utility if it is not already running. Select Start | Programs | Sybase | Server Config.
Select Backup Server or Monitor Server from the icons on the left.
In the Release Path window, enter the old path value in the Path field, for example, C:\sybase. By default, the installation program displays the name of the installation directory specified by the SYBASE environment variable.
If you are upgrading a version earlier than 12.0, leave the line “ASE” blank in the Release Path window. If you are upgrading from version 12.0 to 12.x, enter the path of the old Adaptive Server you are upgrading.
If you have set the OLDSYBASE environment variable, the upgrade utility automatically provides the path to the old server.
Select Upgrade Backup Server.
Provide the release path:
Enter the path where the Sybase server is installed.
Enter the path to the Backup Server you are upgrading. 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 Continue.
In the Existing Servers window, choose the server you want to upgrade.
Click Continue.
Back up all existing databases before upgrading. Once you have done so, select Yes.
When the upgrade is complete, the syconfig utility displays the message, “Upgrade completed successfully.” Select OK.
Repeat this procedure to upgrade Monitor Server.
