Sybase 15.0.2 manual Checking system and upgrade requirements

CHAPTER 5 Upgrading Adaptive Server

You also can set the OLDSYBASE, OLDSYBASE_ASE, and OLDSYBASE_OCS environment variable to the location of the server you are upgrading, to avoid having to type this path when you run syconfig.exe.

•Disable Job Scheduler.

For Windows platforms you must specify the location in detail:

aCopy %OLDSYBASE%\%OLDSYBASE_OCS\ini\libtcl.cfg to %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS\ini\libtcl.cfg.

12Ensure that the procedure cache size is at a minimum of 150 percent of the default procedure cache size, or 7500MB.

13Copy the following files from earlier versions of Adaptive Server to their corresponding Adaptive Server 15.x installation.

For UNIX platforms:

•$SYBASE/interfaces

•$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/<servername>.cfg

•$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/libtcl.cfg

•$SYBASE/SYSAM-1_0/licenses/license.dat

For Windows platforms:

•%SYBASE%\sql.ini

•%SYBASE%\<servername>.cfg

•%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\ini directory

Checking system and upgrade requirements

To verify that your system environment is configured correctly:

1Verify that the computer on which you plan to upgrade the Sybase products meets the requirements.

2Determine whether your server supports an upgrade to Adaptive Server 15.0.2.

3Verify that your operating system is at the proper version level and has all operating system patches needed for Adaptive Server.
