If you are upgrading from a previous version and want to move your Sybase IQ databases to a different supported hardware platform, perform the conversion before you upgrade your data to Sybase IQ 15.0.
Use the procedure “Migrating databases to a 64–bit machine” in the Sybase IQ Installation and Configuration Guide for Sybase IQ 12.7 to convert the database to the 64–bit hardware platform.
For information about migrating a database from one platform to another with the same endian structure, see “Converting to a new hardware platform” for specific steps.
After you change upgrade your hardware platform, follow the appropriate workflow in “Migrating Data” to migrate your databases.
If you created your Sybase IQ database on a Linux 32–bit version prior to Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD #2, you must first install IQ 12.6 ESD #2 for Linux 32–bit and create a new data backup before converting to another platform.
Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD #2 and higher releases support migration between Windows and Linux.
