Hello All,
I work with HP and we write the software to automate the operations of managing databases in Prod, Dev and UAT environment. For standardizing the process for all our customer, I wanted some clarity about the way we should rollback the Patch binary and system databases/procedures.
I have installed fresh Sybase ASE 15.5 with EBF 18661 ESD #4. I then applied the EBF 19902 ESD#5.1 on it.
After applying the patch for binaries, I ran the sybase scripts installmaster, instmsgs.ebf, installcommit and I started the ASE 'dataserver' and 'backupserver' processes and able to see the server was patched.
New, while performing the rollback EBF, I have restored the backed up installed binaries I took before applying the patch and rebooted the ASE servers. I verified that the patch was rolled back. However, I need to restore all the system procedures and databases which can be done by either loading the dumped taken before applying the patch or running the scripts installmaster, instmsgs.ebf, installcommit with the original binary.
Could you suggest which of the above will be the right way of restoring the databases and system procedures ?
Let me know if I missed any step in between.
Thanks
