Console server requirements
When you update the Console server software, the installation process automatically
converts the SQLAnywhere database to a newer version. A special migration utility,
gstdbupgrade.sh on UNIX and gstdbupgrade.exe on Windows performs the conversion
process.
During the database conversion process, the migration utility:
◆ Automatically records the progress of the conversion in the gstdbupgrade.log.
◆ Displays the progress of the database conversion process to the console.
“Reviewing the Console server database conversion status” on page 47 provides more
information about the migration process.
The conversion of a Console server database:
◆ Can take several hours.
For example, it takes approximately 3 hours to migrate a 4.5 GB database on a dual
core system with 16 GB RAM.
◆ Can be I/O and CPU intensive.
Avoid performing other resource intensive processes during a Console server
database conversion.
◆ Requires the that file system that contains the Console server database directory has
available space that is equal to double the size of the current database.
