Upgrade and Migration Paths

Paths available to upgrade your developer environment and migrate version-specific artifacts.

The term "artifacts" refers to all the work that customer developers have done to create mobile applications on Sybase Unwired Platform. This includes (projects, packages, source code, and any other custom-created files.

Be sure that you upgrade your Unwired Platform servers at the same time that you migrate your Unwired Platform customizations. See Installation Guide for Runtime, "Upgrading and Migrating" chapter.
