Installation of Version 15.7 Over an Existing 15.x Adaptive Server

If you have enabled the Java in the database feature, create the sybpcidb database and disable the feature during the installation. See Managing Java in the Database During Installations and Upgrades.

  Verify that your current version of Adaptive Server is not earlier than 15.x before using the binary overlay.
• Backing Up Adaptive Server
  Installing Adaptive Server version 15.7 overwrites the current Adaptive Server software. Before installing, verify that your databases are error free, and back up the Sybase directory.
