GUI mode

You can use either the GUI or the resource file mode for the migration process. You can also elect to run parts of the migration process in GUI mode, and parts of it in resource file mode.

When you run sybmigrate, there are three phases of the migration process that you must follow: setup, migrate, and validate.

• Setting up source databases for migration
  Before migrating data, indicate your source and target Adaptive Servers and register the paths between the source and target databases they contain.
• Begin the migration
  After you have completed setup, you are ready to begin migrating.
• Validating the migration
  The validation phase is the same as the migrate phase.
• Migration and Validation Progress
  sybmigrate keeps you informed of the migration and validation progress on the Migration/validation screen. It shows migration progress, messages reported, and a summary count of objects pending, failed, and succeeded for each task type.
