Migrating from Adaptive Server 12.5.1 to 15.7

Migration from Adaptive Server 12.5.1 to 15.5 and later versions using sybmigrate may generate an error message.

When you migrate from Adaptive Server 12.5.1 to 15.5 and later versions using the sybmigrate utility, you may encounter an error message similar to:

"local server name not set for server 'source' on 
host 'host1'(IP address + port number='xx.xx.xx.xxx:xxxx')"

Adaptive Server version 12.5.1 is no longer supported. Sybase recommends that you upgrade from 12.5.1 to 12.5.4, then from 12.5.4 to 15.5 and later versions.

To make the 12.5.1 server visible to the 12.5.4 or later server, use:

1>sp_addserver 'servername', local
2>go

Restart Adaptive Server. It now recognizes the 12.5.1 server.
