Recovering from a failed upgrade

Adaptive Server Enterprise

5

Copy the 32-bit $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/RUN_<server> file to
the equivalent 64-bit $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install directory.

6

Edit the RUN_server file to reflect the new location of the interfaces,
configuration, and log files.

7

Remove all references to the 32-bit $SYBASE directories from your
$PATH definition.

8

Change to the 64-bit $SYBASE directory and source the ASE150.[csh, sh]
script (Bourne shell).

9

Change to the 64-bit $SYBASE/install directory and execute:

startserver -f RUN_server

10 After the 64-bit server starts, run

installmaster

,

installmodel

, and

installmsg.ebf

.

11 If you used

dbccdb

for

dbcc checkstorage

, run installdbccdb. This

re-creates some tables in the

dbccdb

, and you may lose history data.

12 Drop and re-create all your compiled objects, such as stored procedures,

triggers, views, and defaults.

13 If you have partitioned tables, update partition statistics.

14 Run

dbcc

again on all databases to verify that they run cleanly.

Recovering from a failed upgrade

During the upgrade process, the log may get full due to the catalog changes
that are made. If so, log in to the new server using

isql

, and issue:

isql> dump tran dbname with no_log

This frees the log space, and allow the upgrade process to continue.

In some cases, the pre-upgrade space estimations might be insufficient for
the data copy phase of upgrade. In this case, you may get an error that there
is insufficient space in the

system

segment for the upgrade. The upgrade

process hangs, waiting for space to be provided. You can log in to the new
server using

isql

, and use

alter database

to increase the size of the database.
