Hi, I'm installing ASE dev edition 15 in my linux - ubuntu 10.04- the problem I got is when the installation process tried to init the server, the error gotted was:

error creating the DB ASE Server


so, i was looking for a log file in the install dir - /opt/- but I didn't find anything related to the installation, so my question is:

1. the installation create a log file? where is it?
2. is there a way to restart just the failed steps instead of install everything?

regards

Hi Folks!!

syslogins system table is changed in ASE 15 from ASE 12.5, It has more coloum related for lock reason, lock date, suid which locked this login etc.

If you doing upgrade from 12.5 to 15.0 using dump and load, and your dataserver has around 20+ logins you may need to be very cautious, in that case bcp in of syslogins(of ASE 12.5) wont possible in ASE15 and you can not create 50-100 logins manually using sp_addlogin with same as ASE 12.5 config(same password, settings) .

In my case , we manually edited our bcp out file of ASE 12.5 and added same no seprator to excatly matched the coloumns of ASE 15 and did the bcp in. It worked.

Before editing of bcp in file, make sure you have a copy of that file, and edit it very carefully with seprator, wth no new line char.

If you have done it in some other way, share with all!


Thanks
