ASE 15 Upgrade Checklist for Upgrading from ASE 12.x Sybase ASE 15

4.7.7: ERRORLOG CHANGES
In both threaded and process kernel mode, each line entry in the ASE log is preceded by a header
row of information. This format is as follows: instance id : engine number : family id : spid : date
time: msg
When running in threaded mode, the internal thread id replaces the engine number. This allows us
to identify messages from non-engine threads.
o
For example:
00:0024:00000:00000:2011/04/27 10:28:07.82 kernel Thread 24 (LWP 24390) of Threadpool
syb_default_pool online as engine 0
o
o
In this example, we can see that engine 0 came online as thread 24, and that 0024 is
reported as engine 0 in the message.
You can also lookup the ThreadID in the monEngine table:
1> select EngineNumber, ThreadID from monEngine
2> go
EngineNumber ThreadID
------------------- -------------
0 24
1 25
2 26

4.7.8: TESTING
Testing these settings can occur in parallel with the query performance testing presented below.
However, optimizing these settings may also require the use of ASE’s sysmon utility to monitor and
evaluate these settings as you perform your other testing.
STEP 4.8: CREATE AND MAINTAIN A POST-UPGRADE BASELINE
STEP 4.8.1: OVERVIEW
Now that your ASE software has been upgraded, the next step is to evaluate how it is performing.
The best way to accomplish this is by conducting a thorough and methodical testing of your
applications on the newly upgraded server.
One of the primary goals of the testing phase is to tune ASE 15’s new optimizer features.
Secondarily, you will also want to use this environment to verify the resource configurations settings
(described in the steps above), perform consistency and stress tests, and to test any new ASE 15
features you want to implement.
