If you are upgrading from an earlier version and want to move your Sybase IQ databases to a different supported hardware platform, perform the conversion before you upgrade your data to Sybase IQ 15.2.
For information about migrating a database from one platform to another with the same endian structure, see “Converting to a new hardware platform”.
After you change upgrade your hardware platform, follow the appropriate work flow in “Migrating Data” to migrate your databases.
If you created your Sybase IQ database on a Linux 32-bit version prior to Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD #2, first install IQ 12.6 ESD #2 for Linux 32-bit and create a new data backup before converting to another platform.
Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD #2 and later versions support migration between Windows and Linux.
