Upgrading a Singleton Sybase Control Center

Upgrade a singleton Sybase Control Center server by copying key files in the repository.

Prerequisites
Install the latest version of Sybase Control Center before upgrading. If you used the earlier version of Sybase Control Center to manage and monitor more than one type of resource (Adaptive Server, Data Assurance, Event Stream Processor, Sybase IQ, Replication Server, Replication Agent, Mirror Replication Agent), install the same set of product module plug-ins with the new version of SCC.
Task
  1. Shut down both the old and the new versions of Sybase Control Center.
  2. Navigate to the installation location of the earlier version of Sybase Control Center.
  3. Copy these files:
    Windows –
    • %SYBASE%\SCC-3_1\services\Repository\scc_repository.db
    • %SYBASE%\SCC-3_1\services\Repository\scc_repository.log
    or:
    • %SYBASE%\SCC-3_0\services\Repository\scc_repository.db
    • %SYBASE%\SCC-3_0\services\Repository\scc_repository.log
    UNIX –
    • $SYBASE/SCC-3_1/services/Repository/scc_repository.db
    • $SYBASE/SCC-3_1/services/Repository/scc_repository.log
    or:
    • $SYBASE/SCC-3_0/services/Repository/scc_repository.db
    • $SYBASE/SCC-3_0/services/Repository/scc_repository.log
  4. Paste the copied files into the corresponding directory of the latest installed version.
    For example, paste the files into C:\Sybase\SCC-3_2\services\Repository.
  5. Determine whether, in the earlier version of SCC, you modified this file (to add a password for the sccadmin account, for example):

    In SCC 3.2.5 or earlier: SCC-3_2/conf/csi.properties

    In SCC 3.2.6 or later: SCC-3_2/conf/csi_config.xml

    If so, make the same changes to SCC-3_2/conf/csi_config.xml in the latest version. Note that in SCC 3.2.6, the name and format of the CSI file changed and the sccuser account was removed.
    Note: Sybase recommends that you do not use login accounts defined in csi_config.xml in a production environment. See the Get Started > Setting up Security section of the Sybase Control Center online help for instructions on configuring authentication through LDAP or the operating system.
  6. Start the new version of Sybase Control Center.
    When you start the latest-version server with the earlier-version repository, the repository automatically migrates to the most current version.
