Installation of Version 15.7 SP100 over an Existing 15.x Adaptive Server

Use a binary overlay to install Adaptive Server 15.7 SP100 over an existing version 15.x installation directory.

If you have enabled the Java in the database feature, create the sybpcidb database and disable the feature during the installation.

• Determining the Adaptive Server Version
  Before using the binary overlay, verify that your current version of Adaptive Server is at least 15.x.
• Backing Up Adaptive Server
  Installing Adaptive Server version 15.7 and later overwrites the current Adaptive Server software. Before installing, verify that your databases are error free, and back up the Sybase directory.
• Installing Adaptive Server Using the Binary Overlay
  Use the installer to install Adaptive Server version 15.7 SP100 on top of your existing Adaptive Server, if it is no earlier than version 15.x.
• The updatease Utility
  The updatease utility reinstalls scripts and updates system stored procedures and messages after a minor upgrade.
