Re: Upgrade SYBASE ASE database from 15.7 to 16.0

At high level you are right (with [4] pointing definitely to the new environment ASE-16_0 & and -r resource file pointing to the sqlupgrade.adaptive_server.rs found in $SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files/... - filled with values first...).

 

I do, though, highly recommend to stick to the protocol as outlined in the SAP ASE Installation Guide for your platform (in particular Chapter 9:  SAP ASE Upgrades).  There are potential pitfalls you may find yourself in if you do not:

 

1. auditing - must be turned off, otherwise the upgrade process may have a good chance hanging upgrading sybsecurity database.

2. master/sybsystemprocs database sizes must be bumped up (should be taken care by the preupgrade).

3. Reserved Words / Missing SP source code/dbcc upgrade_object - all should be attended to.

4. DB consistency checks before and after (at least the minimal checkcatalog) should not be missed.

 

I found myself relying on the "upgrade" utility rather than preupgrade + sqlupgrade[res] - the choice depends how well the former run on your platform (there is a section on using each utility in the Installation Guide).

 

In general the process is pretty straightforward and works well. Just follow the guidelines from the Installation Guide.

 

Good luck!
