Final Steps After Upgrading or Reinstalling on UNIX

A description of how to complete your Sybase CEP Server or Sybase CEP Studio upgrades and reinstalls.

If you upgraded or reinstalled Sybase CEP Server or Sybase CEP Studio, perform the following final steps:

  1. Compare the c8-server.conf and c8-services.xml files from the previous installation with the versions of these files in the new installation.

    Copy any desired settings from the old file into the new files.

    If you have installed Sybase CEP Server over an existing installation, use the backed-up copies of these files to compare with the newly-installed files. Do not replace the actual configuration files with your backed-up copies, as Sybase CEP Engine configuration files may change from one release to another. If you have not customized the c8-services.xml file or the c8-server.conf file in any way you may skip this step.

  2. Copy any desired custom adapter .adl files, user-defined function .udf files, custom library .so or .dll files, and CCL projects and supporting files from the old installation, or from your backed up copies, into the equivalent directory in the new installation.
  3. Recompile any custom adapters, or C/C++ user-defined function files with the new version of Sybase CEP Engine.

Note that you may need to reconfigure some features of your Sybase CEP application after upgrading or reinstalling Sybase CEP Engine. For example, you need to recreate any workspaces other than the Default workspace, and probably need to reset Persistence features in the new installation.
