Manually Upgrading to Adaptive Server

You can upgrade manually without using a wizard or utility.

To upgrade Adaptive Server manually, use the upgrade executable located in the $SYBASE/ASE-15_7/upgrade/.

  1. Shut down the pre-15.x server.
  2. Copy the server entry from the old interfaces file to the new interfaces file.
  3. Copy the server_name.cfg file from old directory to the new $SYBASE directory.
  4. Start the 15.7 server with the old master device from the old server.
  5. Run upgrade. If problems occur, fix them, and re-run the upgrade process.
  6. Reinstall the Sybase-supplied stored procedures to prevent any errors caused from changes to the system catalogs.
