Stopping Adaptive Server After a Failure

If the installation or upgrade session fails after you start Adaptive Server, use the shutdown command.

1. Log on as “sa”.
2. Shut down Adaptive Server using the shutdown with nowait command. Using the with nowait option stops the Adaptive Server immediately, without waiting for currently executing SQL statements to finish:

   1> shutdown with nowait
   2> go

3. If the installation or upgrade session fails after you start Adaptive Server, try using Sybase Central to shut down the server. If Sybase Central cannot shut down the server, use the shutdown command.
