What you do depends on the version of Sybase IQ currently installed on your system.
Choose an appropriate installation directory. You cannot install Sybase IQ 15.1 in the parent directory as Sybase IQ 15.0. You must either uninstall Sybase IQ 15.0 or install Sybase IQ 15.1 in a different installation directory.
Upgrade your client tools. Although you can use 15.0 client tools to connect to a 15.1 server, some options, tools, and objects specific to Sybase IQ 15.1 may not be available.
Upgrade Sybase IQ, if necessary. All database migration paths assume that you are migrating from Sybase IQ 12.6 ESD 11 or Sybase 12.7 ESD 5. If you are migrating from a version prior to 12.6, you must upgrade your software before you migrate your database.
Review the migration chapter and plan your migration. Sybase provides utilities that you can use to migrate your 12.x data to Sybase IQ 15.1. Understanding how these utilities work 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.
