SybMigration
Introduction
The Migration Tool (SybMigrate) is used to copy (migrate) databases and
the data in them from one Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) to another.
The main use of this tool will be to copy databases to an ASE installation
with a large page size configured.
In earlier releases of ASE, the server’s page size was always fixed
at 2K bytes. Any changes required for system catalogs was directly supported
by an in-place upgrade process. In the 12.5 ASE release, a server installation
can have various page sizes; 2K, 4K, 8K and 16K.
The Migration tool can be used to copy entire databases from 2K servers
to server installations with larger page sizes. It has the following
features:
-
Easy-to-use utility to automate the schema and data migration process from
one server to another.
-
Provides a graphical and a command line interface.
-
Migration can be restarted if the current session is terminated for any
reason.
-
Fast data migration - SybMigrate can migrate data using parallel data copies.
-
Can run multiple sessions of the Migration utility. Each session will migrate
different databases to/from the same servers.
-
Can optionally migrate server-wide data (logins, roles etc).
-
Can optionally migrate database-wide data (rules, defaults etc).
-
Optionally select which class of objects to migrate in a given database.
-
Within each class optionially select the object name to migrate.
-
Verify the migrated data
