The migration tool automatically applies required patches so you can safely migrate your EAServer entities to EAServer 6.0. To safely use the automated patch mechanism, your EAServer 5.2 installation must have the consolidated EBFs 12802 and 12803 applied. If your EAServer 5.2 installation does not have these patches applied, do one of the following:
Go to the Sybase Web site, download and install EBF numbers 12802 and 12803 to your server, then migrate using the automated patch mechanism.
Go to the Sybase Web site, download and install EBF numbers 13777 and 13778 to your server, then migrate, without using the automated patch mechanism.
Manually upgrade to EAServer 5.3, then migrate using the automated patch mechanism.
If the migration tool determines your EAserver installation is version 5.2, it displays a relevant message informing you to apply the patch or upgrade, similar to:
Do you want to patch the 5.x Server with a temporary patch for migration? The patch corresponds to ebf# 13777 (Windows), 13778 (Solaris), 13779 (Linux). The patch can be downloaded at: www.sybase.com.
For EAServer versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.3, you can migrate directly to EAServer 6.0 using the automated patch mechanism.
