(UNIX only) Upgrades your currently installed version of SAP ASE to the
newest release using a GUI.
The utility is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin.
Syntax
sqlupgrade
[-s sybase dir]
[-r resource file]
[-D data_directory]
Parameters
- -r resource file – executes the specified resource file.
- -s sybase dir – specifies the value to use for the SYBASE environment variable.
- -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.
- -v – prints the version number and copyright message
for sqlupgrade and
then exits.
Usage
Set the:
SYBASE environment variable to the location of the current version of SAP ASE
before using sqlupgrade.
DISPLAY environment variable before invoking sqlupgrade, unless you are only
using the -v parameter to display the version number.
