Sybase provides documentation for all stages of the migration process. While this migration guide documents the minimum changes to your system and applications necessary to avoid problems, we recommend that you refer to What’s New in Adaptive Server Enterprise and other Sybase manuals to help you plan the design of your new Adaptive Server system to take advantage of Sybase’s new performance features.
