Installing SSMA components on SQL Server (SybaseToSQL)

  • Άρθρο

In addition to installing SSMA, 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.

SSMA for Sybase extension pack

The SSMA extension pack adds the sysdb database to the specified instance of SQL Server. The database contains the tables and stored procedures that are required to migrate data.

Also, when you migrate data to SQL Server, SSMA creates SQL Server Agent jobs when server side data migration engine is used for migrating the data.

Prerequisites

Before you install the SSMA for Sybase server components on SQL Server, make sure that the system meets the following requirements:

  • SQL Server instance is installed.

  • Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 or a later version.

  • The Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.7.2 or a later version. You can obtain it from the .NET Framework Developer Center.

  • The Sybase OLE DB/ADO.Net/ODBC provider and connectivity to the SAP ASE database server that contains the databases you want to migrate. You can install providers from the SAP ASE product media. For information about connectivity, see Connecting to Sybase ASE (SybaseToSQL).

  • The SQL Server Browser service must be running during installation. This is used to populate a list of the instances of SQL Server in the Setup wizard. You can disable the SQL Server Browser service after installation.

    Note

    If the SQL Server Browser service is running, but you still do not see a list of instances in Setup, you must unblock UDP port 1434. You can use Windows Firewall to temporarily unblock the port, or you can temporarily disable Windows Firewall. You might also have to temporarily disable antivirus software. Make sure to enable firewalls and antivirus software after installation.

Installing the extension pack

You can install the extension pack any time before you migrate data to SQL Server.

Important

To install the extension pack, you must be a member of the sysadmin server role on the instance of SQL Server.

To install the extension pack:

  1. Copy SSMAforSybaseExtensionPack_n.msi, where n is the build number, to the computer that is running SQL Server.

  2. Double-click SSMAforSybaseExtensionPack_n.msi.

  3. On the Welcome page, click Next.

  4. On the End-User License Agreement page, read the license agreement. If you agree, select the I accept the agreement option, and then click Next.

  5. On the Choose Setup Type page, click Typical.

  6. On the Ready to Install page, click Install.

  7. On the Completed the First Step of Installation page, click Next.

    A new dialog box will appear, in which you select the instance of SQL Server for the Extension Pack installation.

  8. Select the instance of SQL Server where you will be migrating SAP ASE databases, and then click Next.

    The default instance has the same name as the computer. Named instances will be followed by a backslash and the instance name.

  9. On the connection page, select the authentication method and then click Next.

    Windows Authentication will use your Windows credentials to try to log on to the instance of SQL Server. If you select Server Authentication, you must enter a SQL Server login name and password.

  10. Next step requires you to set the password for a master key that will be used to encrypt any sensitive data stored in the extension pack database during server-side data migration. Provide a strong password and click Next.

  11. On the next page, select Install Utilities Database n and Install Extension Pack libraries, where n is the version number. If you plan on using the Tester feature, select Install Tester Database check box, and then select Next.

    The sysdb database is created with the tables and stored procedures required for data migration (using server-side data migration engine) are created in this database.

  12. Once installation is complete, a prompt will appear asking if you want to install Utilities Database on another instance of SQL Server, select Yes, and then select Next, or to exit the wizard, select No and then select Exit.

SQL Server database objects

After you install the extension pack, you will a see a ssma_syb.bcp_migration_packages table in the sysdb database. You will also see the following stored procedures:

  • bcp_clean_migration_data
  • bcp_ensure_message_table
  • bcp_insert_new_message
  • bcp_post_process
  • bcp_read_new_migration_messages
  • bcp_save_migration_package
  • bcp_smart_truncate
  • bcp_start_migration_process
  • get_jobstep_info
  • stop_agent_process

Every time that you migrate data to SQL Server, SSMA creates a SQL Server Agent job. These jobs are named ssma_syb data migration package {GUID}, and are visible in the SQL Server Agent node of SQL Server Management Studio in the Jobs folder.

Sybase providers

When you use server-side data migration to move data from SAP ASE to SQL Server, the data migrates directly between SAP ASE and SQL Server. It does not go through SSMA because this would slow down the data migration.

Installing the Sybase providers

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.

Important

Before you run the Setup program, verify that you are not violating your licensing agreements.

  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.
