updatease

The updatease executable file is located in:

(UNIX) $SYBASE/SYBASE_ASE/bin/
(Windows) %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_ASE%\bin\

Syntax

updatease 
	-Sserver_name 
	-PASE_password 
	[-D data_directory]

The syntax for SAP ASE Cluster Edition:

updatease -FSCC_connection 
	-PSCC_password 
	[-D data_directory] 
	-Ccluster_name 
	-iinstance 
	-AASE_instance_password

Parameters

-Sserver_name – (nonclustered SAP ASE only) specifies the SAP ASE server you are updating.
-PASE_password – (nonclustered SAP ASE only) is the SAP ASE "sa" password. If you do not specify this, updatease obtains the information from the SYBASE_ASE_SA_PWD environment variable or at the prompt.
-Ddata_directory – (optional) specifies the working directory when it differs from the default installation directory for the SAP ASE server. Use this option when you specify at the time that you install SAP ASE, that another user could configure the server. If you do not use -D, the SAP ASE server uses $SYBASE as the default.
-FSCC_connection – (SAP ASE Cluster Edition only) specifies the SAP^® Control Center agent that you use to access the cluster. The value must be in the form "hostname:port_number".
-PSCC_password – (SAP ASE Cluster Edition only) specifies the SCC "uafadmin" password. If you do not specify this, updatease obtains the information from the UAFADMIN_PWD environment variable.
-Ccluster_name – (SAP ASE Cluster Edition only) specifies the name of the SAP ASE cluster.
-iinstance – (SAP ASE Cluster Edition only) specifies the SAP ASE instance you are updating.
-AASE_instance_password – (SAP ASE Cluster Edition only) specifies the SAP ASE "sa" password.

Usage

When you perform a minor upgrade/update from SAP ASE version 15.0 and higher, you need to update the system stored procedures and messages from the earlier version of SAP ASE, as well as reinstall the scripts in the following directory:

(UNIX) $SYBASE/ASE-15_0/scripts/
(Windows) %SYBASE%\ASE-15_0\scripts\

Note: In a nonclustered SAP ASE, when you perform the minor upgrade using the SAP ASE installer, the installer runs updatease in the background; you need not perform any additional steps.

Permissions

You must be an SAP ASE system administrator, or log in with the sa_role to use updatease.
