To execute
sqlupgraderes
, enter the following at the UNIX prompt, where resource_file
specifies the resource file containing the attributes that describe the server to upgrade:

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.
