Upgrade Sybase IQ, if necessary. If you are migrating from a version prior to 12.6, you must upgrade to Sybase IQ 12.6 or later. All migration paths assume that you are migrating from Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD 11 or Sybase 12.7 ESD 5.
Review and understand the migration utilities before you begin your migration. Sybase provides utilities that you can use to migrate your 12.x data to Sybase IQ 15.0. Understanding these utilities before you begin can help you plan your migration more effectively. See “Migration utilities” for more information.
Follow the work flows for the type of databases you want to migrate. There are separate migration paths for simplex and multiplex databases. See “Migrating simplex databases” and “Migrating multiplex databases” for additional information.
