Special Cases: Migrating to 64-bit Operating System or Larger Page
Size
As of release 11.9.3, Adaptive Server runs on 64-bit operating systems. As of
12.5, ASE allows you to create a server that uses a logical page size larger than
2K in order to store more data per page. These changes are described in
What’s
New in Adaptive Server Enterprise at
http://manuals.sybase.com:80/onlinebooks/group-
as/asg1250e/whatsnew/@Generic__BookView
and the Performance and Tuning
Guide at http://manuals.sybase.com:80/onlinebooks/group-
as/asg1250e/perf/@Generic__BookView
.
If you wish to take advantage of these changes, you need to select the
appropriate migration method. These are the options currently available:
Type of
migration
Methods/tools available
Pre-12.5 32-bit
server to 12.5
64-bit server
You can use the sqlupgrade utility.
Note You can use the sqlupgrade utility only when you are
changing release levels. You cannot use it just to move from
a 32-bit to a 64-bit system.
12.5 32-bit
system to 12.5
64-bit system
Create a new 12.5 installation and use bcp or dump and load
to move data into the new server. You can also manually
replace the binary to change to a 64-bit system. See the
installation guide at
http://manuals.sybase.com:80/onlinebooks/group-
as/asp1250e/@Generic__CollectionView;pt=asp1250e
for
instructions.
Pre-12.5 2K
page server to
4K, 8K, or 16K
server
As of the release of this manual, an upgrade to a larger page
size is not supported. You need to rebuild the system using
the instructions for 32-bit to 64-bit migration in the
installation guide at
http://manuals.sybase.com:80/onlinebooks/group-
as/asp1250e/@Generic__CollectionView;pt=asp1250e
.

size.
