Migrating applications to jConnect 7.x

Use the following procedure to upgrade to jConnect 7.x.

If your code uses Sybase extensions, or if you explicitly import any jConnect class in your code, change package import statements as needed.

For example, change import statements such as
```
import com.sybase.jdbc.*
```
and
```
import com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.*
```
to
```
import com.sybase.jdbcx.*
```
For information on using the Sybase extension APIs, see “Changing Sybase extensions”.
Set JDBC_HOME to the top directory of the jConnect driver you installed:
```
JDBC_HOME=jConnect-7_0
```
Change your CLASSPATH environment variable to reflect the new installation. Your classpath must include the following:
```
JDBC_HOME/classes/jconn4.jar
```
Change the source code where the driver is loaded, and recompile the application to use the new driver:
```
Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc4.jdbc.SybDriver");
```
Verify that the jConnect 7.0 driver is the first jConnect driver specified in your CLASSPATH environment variable.
