Installing SDK or Open Server 15.5 on the same machine as a pre-15.5 Adaptive Server

To install SDK or Open Server 15.5 in a different directory but on the same machine as a pre-15.5 Adaptive Server installation, and to prevent the previous version from being affected:

1. Shut down Adaptive Server.

   • Use isql to log in to an Adaptive Server with system administrator privileges:

     isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name
     

   • Enter:

     1> shutdown
     

     2> go
     

   Back up your current installation before installing SDK or Open Server 15.5.

2. Complete the SDK or Open Server installation as documented in the following installation sections.

3. Edit the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh script file to comment out the pre-15.5 SDK and Open Server environment information.

4. Start Adaptive Server at the command line using the RUN_server_name file that contains information required to restart the server:

   $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/startserver [-f RUN_server_name file]
   

For more information about starting and stopping Adaptive Server, see the Adaptive Server Enterprise Configuration Guide for UNIX.
