Resource file attributes for upgrading Adaptive Server

Table 5-1 shows the resource file attribute names, their default values, and other options, which you use in the resource file for upgrading Adaptive Server. The sample resource file in the $SYBASE_ASE/init/sample/upgrade file included in your Adaptive Server distribution shows examples of these attributes.

All attributes are required, and all values are case-sensitive.

If the resource file you are modifying was created by sqlupgrade, the prefix of the attribute name may vary. sqlupgraderes ignores this prefix when processing the resource file.
