Running the Instmsgs.ebf Script

Follow these instructions if you are upgrading from an Adaptive Server version 15.0.x to Adaptive Version 15.5.

Adaptive Server restores error messages back to the 15.0.x release from which you are upgrading. Before installing the new messages for 15.5 you must run uninstmsgs.ebf to safeguard the modified messages in your master device.

Note:

If you are upgrading from a pre 15.x release, then ignore this step to produce the restore_msgs.ebf file and proceed to run the instmsgs.ebf file.

To run uninstmsgs.ebf use the following command:

isql -Usa -P<sa-password> -w1000 -iuninstmsgs.ebf -orestoremsgs.ebf

Run the instmsgs.ebf script after you have completed running the uninstmsgs.ebf script. Use the following syntax to run instmsgs.ebf:
```
isql -Usa -P<sa-password> -iinstmsgs.ebf
```
If you are a localized customer, run the instmsgs.ebf command, and then install any localized language using langinstall, sqlloc, or syconfig.
1. If you need to undo the instmsgs.ebf changes, run the following script once you have downgraded to the version from which you upgraded.
```
isql -S -Usa -P <restore_msgs.ebf>
```
If you run instmsgs.ebf after installing the 15.5 localized message, this script may delete some new messages.
