The updatease utility reinstalls scripts and updates system stored
procedures and messages after a minor upgrade.
The
updatease executable file is located in:
- (UNIX) $SYBASE/SYBASE_ASE/bin/
- (Windows) %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\bin\
Syntax
updatease -Sserver_name -PASE_password
The syntax for Adaptive Server Cluster Edition:
updatease -FSCC_connection -PSCC_password -Ccluster_name -iinstance -AASE_instance_password
Parameters
- -Sserver_name – (nonclustered Adaptive Server only) specifies the Adaptive Server you are
updating.
- -PASE_password – (nonclustered Adaptive Server only) is the Adaptive Server "sa" password.
If you do not specify this, updatease obtains the information from the
SYBASE_ASE_SA_PWD environment variable or at the prompt.
- -FSCC_connection
– (Adaptive Server Cluster Edition only) specifies the Sybase Control
Center agent that you use to access the cluster. The value must be in
the form "hostname:port_number".
- -PSCC_password – (Adaptive Server Cluster Edition only) specifies the SCC "uafadmin"
password. If you do not specify this, updatease obtains the information
from the UAFADMIN_PWD environment variable.
- -Ccluster_name – (Adaptive Server Cluster Edition only) specifies the name of the Adaptive
Server cluster.
- -iinstance – (Adaptive Server Cluster Edition only) specifies the Adaptive Server
instance you are updating.
- -AASE_instance_password – (Adaptive Server Cluster Edition only) specifies the Adaptive Server "sa"
password.
Usage
When you perform a minor upgrade/update from Adaptive Server version 15.0 and higher,
you need to update the system stored procedures and messages from the earlier
version of Adaptive Server, as well as reinstall the scripts in the following
directory:
- (UNIX) $SYBASE/ASE-15_0/scripts/
- (Windows) %SYBASE%\ASE-15_0\scripts\
Note: In a nonclustered Adaptive Server, when you perform the minor upgrade using the
Adaptive Server installer, the installer runs updatease in the
background; you need not perform any additional steps.
Permissions
You must be a Sybase system administrator, or log in with the sa_role to use updatease.
