Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise / SQL Server HOWTO 1. Introduction 2. Installation The different versions of ASE for Linux that are available have slightly different installation and configuration procedures. The installation documents that come with the product are quite detailed so I will. Sybase ASE 12.5, 12.5.2 and 12.5.4 use a java based Install Shield Setup just like the Sybase SDK 12.5.x Uninstallation of Sybase ASE can also be made silent, however unlike setupConsole.exe uninstall.exe forks into some other processes and quits before it is. Sybase Adaptive connection strings. The ApplicationName is used by Adaptive Server to identify the client. Standard Sybase System 12.5 Enterprise Open Client.

You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number.

Hi all,

This blog covers the process of migrating SAP ASE databases to Microsoft SQL Server using SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) tool.

Sybase SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) database can be migrated to Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012/2014/2016/SQL Server 2017/Azure SQL database on Windows/Linux using Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) for SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) tool. SSMA for Sybase converts ASE database objects to SQL Server database objects, creates those objects in SQL Server and then migrates data from ASE to SQL Server or Azure SQL database.

SSMA tool consists of the following:

• SSMA for SAP ASE client (SSMA Client) which need to be installed on Client machine
• SSMA extension pack for Sybase component which need to be installed on SQL Server machine

You install the client application on the computer from which you will perform the migration steps. You must install the extension pack files on the computer that is running SQL Server where migrated databases will be hosted.

In this blog, we are covering the below:

• Prerequisites for Installing SSMA tool
• Installing the SSMA for Sybase (Client Component and the extension pack)
• Creating SSMA project for Migration

Prerequisites for Installing SSMA tool:

SSMA is designed to work with ASE 11.9.2 or later versions and all editions of SQL Server. Before you install SSMA, make sure that the computer meets the following requirements:

Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Pc Client 15.7

• Windows 7 or later versions, or Windows Server 2008 or later versions.
• Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 or a later version.
• The Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.0 or a later version. The .NET Framework version 4.0 is available on the SQL Server product media.
• The Sybase OLEDB/ADO.Net/ODBC provider and connectivity to the Sybase ASE database server that contains the databases you want to migrate.
• Access to and sufficient permissions on the computer that hosts the target instance of SQL Server where you will be migrating database objects and data.

Installing the SSMA for Sybase Client Component:

Before Installing Sybase client components, ensure that Sybase providers component is installed on the client machine. The following instructions provide the basic installation steps for installing Sybase providers. The exact instructions will differ depending on the version of the Sybase Setup program.

1. Run the Sybase ASE Setup program.
2. Select custom setup.
3. On the feature selection page, select the ODBC, OLE DB and ADO.NET data providers.
4. Verify the selected features, and then click Finish to install the data provider

Once the Sybase provider component is installed, download the latest version of SSMA client tool, refer the link SQL Server Migration Assistant download page

To install the SSMA client, launch the msi file.

If the Sybase Components are not installed below, required component missing window appears. Ensure that the Sybase provider component is installed prior to SSMA client tool installation.

Installing SSMA for Sybase extension Pack:

Once the Installation of client tool is complete on client machine, for using Server-side data migration, you must also install components on the computer that is running SQL Server. These components include the SSMA extension pack, which supports data migration, and Sybase providers to enable server-to-server connectivity.

When you migrate data from ASE to SQL Server, the data migrates directly between ASE and SQL Server. It does not go through SSMA client because this would slow down the data migration.

Before Installing the Sybase extension pack on the SQL Server, ensure that the Sybase provider components are installed on the SQL Server machine as well.

Once the Sybase provider components are installed, double click on the Sybase Extension pack.msi file:

During the Sybase extension pack installation, setup points for the SQL server instance details where the extension pack database is created.

Extension pack installs the utility database in SQL instance mentioned in the previous step.

The installation creates the below databases:

Sysdb: Contains the tables and stored procedures that are required to migrate data

Ssmatesterdb_syb: Contains the schema ssma_sybase_utilities, in which the objects (Tables, Triggers, Views) used by the SSMA tester component are created.

Once the extension pack is installed, control Panel Add or remove program reflects the SSMA for Sybase extension pack.

Create a SSMA Project for Schema/Data Migration:

Launch the Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant for Sybase:

Click on File New Project and mention the destination SQL version.

Next step is to connect to the Sybase data source:

Post connecting to the Sybase database source, select the database/Objects which are to be migrated to SQL Server.

Connect to the destination SQL Server instance:

Ensure that the Sybase database and the SQL Server have the same compatibility. If they are different, the below warning message is displayed.

Post connecting to both Sybase and SQL Server, SSMA tool automatically, maps the data type from Sybase to SQL Server as highlighted in the below screenshot:

Create the conversion report by selecting the Sybase schema and click on 'Create Report' option:

The report is created in html format and is stored at location specified during Project creation: The report gives an inventory of the Sybase schema and the effort needed to convert the Sybase schema to SQL Server schema.

Sample report looks like below which can be drilled down further:

Next step is to “Convert Schema” if the default type mapping selected by the SSMA tool are not preferred:

The Output pane can be referred for schema conversion status:

Converting the schema creates a database in the Local metadata, but it’s not reflected on SQL Server yet, which can be verified from connecting to SQL Server instance using SSMS tool.

To replicate the schema of Sybase objects on SQL Server, right click on the Local Metadata database from SSMA tool and click on “Synchronize with database” which creates the database in SQL Server and applies the schema.

Note that only the schema is replicated and not the data.

Next step is to Migrate the data using “Migrate data” option.

Once the data migration is complete, migration report can be reviewed to check the Total and Migrated Rows and the success rate of migration.

Output pane also displays the status of Migration operation.

Now, row count in SQL server displays the number of rows migrated to SQL server.

Refer the below article to perform the incremental data migration using SSMA.

Once the data is successfully loaded to SQL Server, next step is to point the application connection strings to SQL Server and access the data stored in SQL Server.

Hope the above steps mentioned will help you in migration process.

Please share your feedback, questions and/or suggestions.

Thanks,

Don Castelino | Premier Field Engineer | Microsoft

SAP ASE (Adaptive Server Enterprise), originally known as Sybase SQL Server, and also commonly known as Sybase DB or Sybase ASE, is a relational modeldatabase server developed by Sybase Corporation, which later became part of SAP AG. ASE is predominantly used on the Unix platform, but is also available for Microsoft Windows.

In 1988, Sybase, Microsoft and Ashton-Tate began development of a version of SQL Server for OS/2, but Ashton-Tate later left the group and Microsoft went on to port the system to Windows NT. When the agreement expired in 1993, Microsoft purchased a license for the source code and began to sell this product as Microsoft SQL Server.^[2] MS SQL Server and Sybase SQL Server share many features and syntax peculiarities to this day.

History[edit]

Originally for Unix platforms in 1987, Sybase Corporation's primary relational database management system product was initially marketed under the name Sybase SQL Server.^[3][4] In 1988, SQL Server for OS/2 was co-developed for the PC by Sybase, Microsoft, and Ashton-Tate.^[5] Ashton-Tate divested its interest and Microsoft became the lead partner after porting SQL Server to Windows NT. Microsoft and Sybase sold and supported the product through version 4.2.1.

Sybase released SQL Server 4.2 in 1992. This release included internationalization and localization and support for symmetric multiprocessing systems.

In 1993, the co-development licensing agreement between Microsoft and Sybase ended, and the companies parted ways while continuing to develop their respective versions of SQL Server. Sybase released Sybase SQL Server 10.0, which was part of the System 10 product family, which also included Back-up Server, Open Client/Server APIs, SQL Monitor, SA Companion and OmniSQL Gateway. Microsoft continued on with Microsoft SQL Server.

Sybase provides native low-level programming interfaces to its database server which uses a protocol called Tabular Data Stream. Prior to version 10, DBLIB (DataBase LIBrary) was used. Version 10 and onwards uses CTLIB (ClienT LIBrary).

In 1995, Sybase released SQL Server 11.0.

Starting with version 11.5 released in 1996, Sybase moved to differentiate its product from Microsoft SQL Server by renaming it to Adaptive Server Enterprise.^[3]Sybase 11.5 added Asynchronous prefetch, case expression in sql, the optimizer can use a descending index to avoid the need for a worktable and a sort.The Logical Process Manager was added to allow prioritization by assigning execution attributes and engine affinity.

In 1998, ASE 11.9.2 was rolled out with support for data pages locking, data rows (row-level locking), distributed joins and improved SMP performance. Indexes could now be created in descending order on a column, readpast concurrency option and repeatable read transaction isolation were added. A lock timeout option and task-to-engine affinity were added, query optimization is now delayed until a cursor is opened and the values of the variables are known.

In 1999, ASE 12.0 was released, providing support for Java, high availability and distributed transaction management. Merge joins were added, previous all joins were nested loop joins. In additional cache partitions were added to improve performance.

In 2001, ASE 12.5 was released, providing features such as dynamic memory allocation, an EJB container, support for XML, SSL and LDAP. Also added was compressed backups, unichar UTF-16 support and multiple logical page sizes 2K, 4K, 8K, or 16K.

In 2005, Sybase released ASE 15.0. It included support for partitioning table rows in a database across individual disk devices, and 'virtual columns' which are computed only when required. In ASE 15.0, many parameters that had been static (which required server reboot for the changes to take place) were made dynamic (changes take effect immediately). This improved performance and reduced downtime. For example, one parameter that was made dynamic was the 'tape retention in days' (the number of days that the backup is kept on the tape media without overwriting the existing contents in the production environment).

On January 27, 2010 Sybase released ASE 15.5. It included support for In-Memory and Relaxed-Durability Databases, Distributed transaction management in the shared-disk cluster, faster compression for backups as well as Backup Server Support for the IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager. Deferred Name Resolution for User-Defined Stored Procedures, FIPS 140-2 Login Password Encryption, Incremental Data Transfer, bigdatetime and bigtime Datatypes and tempdb groups were also added.

In July 2010, Sybase became a wholly owned subsidiary of SAP America.^[6]

On September 13, 2011 Sybase released ASE 15.7 at Techwave. It included support for: New Security features - Application Functionality Configuration Groups, a new threaded kernel, compression for large object (LOB) and regular data, End-to-End CIS Kerberos Authentication, Dual Control of Encryption Keys and Unattended Startup and extension for securing logins, roles, and password management, Login Profiles, ALTER... modify owner, External Passwords and Hidden Text, Abstract Plans in Cached Statements, Shrink Log Space, In-Row Off-Row LOB, using Large Object text, unitext, and image Datatypes in Stored Procedures, Using LOB Locators in Transact-SQL Statements, select for update to exclusively lock rows for subsequent updates within the same transaction, and for update-able cursors, Non-materialized, Non-null Columns with a default value, Fully Recoverable DDL (select into, alter table commands that require data movement, reorg rebuild), merge command, Expanded Variable-Length Rows, Allowing Unicode Noncharacters.

In April 2014, SAP released ASE 16. It included support for partition locking, CIS Support for HANA, Relaxed Query Limits, Query Plan Optimization with Star Joins, Dynamic Thread Assignment, Sort and Hash Join Operator improvements, Full-Text Auditing, Auditing for Authorization Checks Inside Stored Procedures, create or replace functionality, Query Plan and Execution Statistics in HTML, Index Compression, Full Database Encryption, Locking, Run-time locking, Metadata and Latch enhancements, Multiple Trigger support, Residual Data Removal, Configuration History Tracking, CRC checks for dump database and the ability to calculate the transaction log growth rate for a specified time period.

Structure[edit]

A single standalone installation of ASE typically comprises one 'dataserver' and one corresponding 'backup server'. In multi server installation many dataservers can share one backup server. A dataserver consists of system databases and user databases. Minimum system databases that are mandatory for normal working of dataserver are 'master', 'tempdb', 'model', 'sybsystemdb' and 'sybsystemprocs'. 'master' database holds critical system related information that includes, logins, passwords, and dataserver configuration parameters. 'tempdb' is used for storage of data that are required for intermediate processing of queries, and temporary data. 'model' is used as a template for creating new databases. 'sybsystemprocs' consists of system supplied stored procedures that queries system tables and manipulates data in them.

ASE is a single process multithreaded dataserver application.

Editions[edit]

Sql Server 2005, Microsoft

SAP also has a developer edition that can be used for free to develop against (but not for production use). It only allows 1 engine and 25 connections.^[7] There is an express edition which is limited to 1 server engine, 2 Gb of memory and 5 Gb of disk space per server. This edition is free for production purposes.
