This chapter discusses changes to Adaptive Server system administration that may cause problems if you do not prepare for them. For a comprehensive listing of changes and new features, see What's New in Adaptive Server Enterprise.
Changing applications and system administration is the
most time-consuming part of migration preparation and this guide
does not tell you how to make these changes. You must choose a method
to do this that suits your needs and resources. For instance, you
may want to develop your own plans and scripts, or you may prefer
to contact Sybase Consulting for help. Sybase Technical Support
offers a Web site, the ASE Migration Resources Web page, for migration information
and can help with technical problems such as bugs and error conditions.
If you perform an upgrade instead of a migration (that
is, you upgrade without rebuilding your system), you will not see
any change in dbid between versions of Adaptive
Server. This becomes a problem only if your maintenance scripts
use these IDs and you build a new system, which then uses the new
ID conventions.
