Verify that the computer on which you plan to upgrade the Sybase
products meets the requirements.

Determine whether your server supports an upgrade to Adaptive Server
15.0.2.

3

Verify that your operating system is at the proper version level and has all
operating system patches needed for Adaptive Server.
