Running the instmsgs.ebf Script

Run message-related scripts after upgrading from an Adaptive Server version 15.0.x to version 15.7 SP100.

  1. If you upgraded from Adaptive Server version 15.0.x, run uninstmsgs.ebf:
    isql -Usa -Ppassword -w1000 -iuninstmsgs.ebf -orestoremsgs.ebf
    This safeguards your modified messages in the master database before you install the default version 15.7 SP100 messages.
  2. Regardless of the Adaptive Server version you upgraded from, run the instmsgs.ebf:
    isql -Usa -Ppassword -iinstmsgs.ebf
    Note: To undo instmsgs.ebf changes, run this script once you have downgraded to the version from which you upgraded:
    isql -S -Usa -P -irestoremsgs.ebf
  3. If you use localized files, install any localized language using langinstall, sqlloc, or syconfig.
    If you run instmsgs.ebf after installing the 15.7 SP100 localized message, this script may delete some new messages.
