The Data Source Administrator is designed to provide users with an interactive tool to enable the migration of
both OEM ODBC and OLE DB data sources, as well as creating and modifying Sybase OLE DB data sources. All ODBC
data sources are maintained using the ODBC Data Source Administrator available with the Microsoft Windows
operating system.
To run the Data Source Administrator, click the ‘Data Source Administrator’ menu item in the ‘DataAccess’ program
group under ‘Sybase’, or run ‘sybdrvadm.exe’ from the install directory at ‘%SYBASE%\DataAccess\bin’.
Upon startup, the tool displays all OLE DB and ODBC data sources for both OEM and Sybase. Users can choose the
OEM data source to migrate, or alternatively create, modify or delete existing Sybase OLE DB data sources.

This command line utility provides users with the same capabilities as the interactive Data Source Administrator
described above, but being a non-UI tool, it provides users with a command that can be used in DOS batch procedures
to help automate the migration process.
To run the command line utility, run ‘dsnmigrate.exe’ which is also located in the install directory at ‘%SYBASE%\
DataAccess\bin’. Running this utility with the ‘/h’ argument displays all the available migration options listed below;
you may choose the option which best suits your environment.

Following is a list of OEM properties not migrated in the current version; some of these may be supported in future
releases.
Also, appropriate warning messages are issued when a property cannot be migrated or when user attention is
directed to a specific situation where manual intervention is required; therefore, it is extremely important to review
and react if necessary to resultant messages:
