I have been having issues upgrading customers ASA9 databases to SA11. In
many cases the instructions on how to upgrade the the Version 9 databases
failed with the database unable to start with the V11 dnunload.

After working with support for a hour or so we located the issue. We were
trying to upgrade the databases using the SQL Central Image Database Backups
from V9. In Version 9 these backsups look on disk and behave exactly like
the original.

However the V11 dbunload utility will not start them. The solution is to
startup the database file under ASA9 then stop it. Then the file can
be properly started and unloaded using the V11 dbunload.

This did not seem to be a problem in the V10 upgrade.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I saw the note that this issue has already been addressed in a subsequent
build.

I changed my posting because it didn;t look like the
sybase.public.sqlanywhere forum was the correct one. the
sybase.public.sqlanywhere.general seemed to be getting the bulk of the
activity.
