Bonjour Community,
I am DBA not so new to Sybase but new to maintaining the software. I currently having an issue that should be fix by applying an EBF, the problem is, since I am looking at these EBFs I am having the worse headhache ever ... !
I am running Sybase ASE 15.7 Cluster Edition, Build 3556 (EBF 22865 Cluster Edition SP111 )
How am I suppose to understand EBF when I get this :
Patch level? What is it?
EBF number higher when the date is older?
EBF SP number is lower when the date is more recent?
Example :
EBF 22234: 15.7 SP121 - 64 Bit (Last changed : 09.04.2014)
EBF 22832: 15.7 SP63 - 64 Bit (Last changed : 11.07.2014)
This is really confusing, should I install EBF based on the SP level or based on the date.
The bug I have requires SP121 and higher, will EBF 22779: 15.7 SP122 - 64 Bit (06.05.2014) include the fix I need or will EBF 22832: 15.7 SP63 - 64 Bit, which is much more recent, be the one I need?
I have been looking around to find a well built document that would explain what is the SP level, Patch level, ESD (now, what is an ESD?) but to no avail.
Could you please, help me understand all of this?
Best Regards,
William
