OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere 12 is supported by ZENworks 11 SP2. If you are using a remote OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere database, you need to upgrade it to OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere 12 on your remote database server.
Perform the following steps to upgrade the Sybase engine and then upgrade and rebuild the remote OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere database:
IMPORTANT:Before you upgrade the Remote OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere database, you need to backup the database files to the default location. For more information, see TID 7009199.
If the OEM Sybase database is installed on a remote machine, you need to stop the ZENworks services on all the Primary Servers. However, if the OEM Sybase database is installed on the ZENworks server, you need to stop the services only on the remaining servers. The upgrade installer will stop and start the services on the ZENworks server.
