7 MigRatiOn tOOLs siMpLify the MigRatiOn task<br />
One of the critical issues encountered when migrating from the OEM <strong>O<strong>DB</strong>C</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>OLE</strong> <strong>DB</strong> drivers to the <strong>Sybase</strong><br />
organic drivers is one of migrating existing data sources.<br />
In addition, with <strong>OLE</strong> <strong>DB</strong> the OEM driver supports the creation of external data sources; but, there is no st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
tool that can be used for all drivers. Thus, for <strong>O<strong>DB</strong>C</strong>, the <strong>O<strong>DB</strong>C</strong> Administrator must deal with all of these issues.<br />
The <strong>Sybase</strong> <strong>ASE</strong> Data Source Administrator addresses both of these problems. It displays a list of existing data<br />
sources for both of the drivers (OEM <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sybase</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>O<strong>DB</strong>C</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>OLE</strong> <strong>DB</strong>). It also allows the creation <strong>and</strong> manipulation<br />
of <strong>Sybase</strong> <strong>OLE</strong> <strong>DB</strong> data sources, as well as the migration of existing OEM data sources to <strong>Sybase</strong> organic data sources.<br />
Lastly, <strong>Sybase</strong> provides a comm<strong>and</strong> line utility for migrating data sources in DOS batch procedures; this is ideal for<br />
mass-migrating data sources while the Data Source Administrator provides an interactive environment for migrating<br />
fewer or individual data sources. Go to section 17 for more details about these tools.<br />
