You can install EAServer 6.3 as a new installation, or as an upgrade to an EAServer 6.x installation.
Before you upgrade from EAServer 6.2 to EAServer 6.3, rename _shared.properties to shared.properties in <6.2_installed_directory>/ Repository/Instance/com/sybase/djc/security/DataProtection. This ensures that the keystore, truststore, and datasource passwords are all set correctly.
The EAServer migration tool enables you to migrate a subset of entity types from a 5.x repository to the 6.3 repository, saving time by scanning only those entity types that you require. For details, see:
EAServer Migration Guide – on the SyBooks Online Web site.
EAServer 6.0.2 New Features Guide – on the SyBooks Online Web site. This book describes migration tool features that were introduced in version 6.0.2.
“Migration tool issue” in this release bulletin describes problem that is known to occur during migration.
