Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)

5.1.2 Setting the Password Before Upgrading

Before you can upgrade SYBASE software, the SYBASE system

administrator’s password must be set to database. To change the

password, perform the following steps:

Step 1: Log into the SYBASE account as follows:

Username: SYBASE

Password: your_password

The DCL prompt appears.

Step 2: Enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

$ isql/u=“sa”/password=“ sa_password”

The command runs the ISQL utility. ISQL commands are case

sensitive.

Step 3: In the utility, enter the following commands at the prompt

exactly as shown:

1> sp_password “your_password”, “database”, sa

2> go

3> exit

where your_password is any password other than database.

5.1.3 Directory and File Operations During Upgrade

During the upgrade process, several directories are deleted and then

recreated. The sybase_device:[sybase]*.*;* directory and all of its

subdirectories are among these. Also, the main ENVOX directory and its

subdirectories are deleted and recreated.

This ENVOX directory is the one which you normally use for your login

account. If you have added personal files in this d irectory, they will be

deleted, and you will need to restore them in the recreated directory.

Therefore, it is suggested that you save your personal files to a tape or

disk before starting the upgrade.

During the upgrade process, several temporary files are created in

sys$manager directories. These file s are normally deleted when the

upgrade process is complete. However, you may wish to check these

directories after completing the upgrade to make sure that all of the

temporary files are deleted.
