Due to security fixes in IQ 15.3, the Sybase IQ 15.3 plug-in for Sybase Centralâ„¢ and Sybase Central Agents are not compatible with versions of Sybase IQ earlier than 15.2 ESD #3. You can use the 15.3 plug-in only with Sybase IQ servers that are 15.2 ESD #3 or later, including 15.3; you cannot use the 15.3 plug-in to connect to 12.x servers or servers earlier than 15.2 ESD #3.See New Features Summary.

Upgrade Invalidates Data Source Names [CR #487858]

In Sybase IQ 15.x, 32-bit drivers are located in the bin32 directory, instead of win32, and 64-bit drivers are now in the bin64 directory, instead of x64. Therefore, when migrating from 12.x to 15.x, you may need to update registries and applications to locate libraries. For example, win32\dbodbc11.dll is now in bin32.
