To assist with the upgrade process, Sybase recommends that you set the OLDSYBASE environment variable to point to the old installation of Adaptive Server. If you set the OLDSYBASE environment variable to the old installation of the Adaptive Server, the upgrade utility automatically populates input fields with the correct information as you perform the upgrade.
Use either of the following methods to upgrade Adaptive Server:
sqlupgrade – provides an X-Windows or Motif GUI for the upgrade process. See “Using sqlupgrade”.
sqlupgraderes – provides a noninteractive, file-based interface for the upgrade process. sqlupgraderes allows you to upgrade Adaptive Server using a resource file. This is useful for customer sites that want to upgrade many similar servers. See “Using sqlupgraderes”.
