Connect to Sybase ASE

This page shows how to save a new Sybase ASE connection from the Connections page. You can use a saved connection for any Relational Migrator task that requires connecting to a database.

About this Task

To save a new Sybase ASE connection in Relational Migrator, you must:

Identify your database connection string or database information.
Connect to Sybase ASE.

Important

To plan your migration and map your Sybase ASE schema to a MongoDB schema, you must connect using an account with the correct read permissions.

To migrate data, you must connect to your Sybase ASE database using a service account with the required permissions.

There are no prerequisite requirements to use Relational Migrator with Sybase ASE. Sybase ASE only supports snapshot migration jobs.

Steps

Database Connection String

The Sybase ASE connection string looks like:

jdbc:jtds:sybase://[host]:[port]/[databaseName]

Note

To learn more about Sybase ASE connection strings, see:

Connect to Sybase ASE

Add a connection

In the list of Relational connections, click + Add connection.

Select the database type

In the Database type drop-down, select Sybase ASE.

To enter a connection string directly:

Above JDBC URI, enable the Enter URI manually toggle.
Paste your connection string into the JDBC URI.

To create a connection string, enter the following:

Field	Value
Host	The host IP or DNS name.
Port	The port number.
Database	The database name. Leave blank to connect to the default database.
Username and Password	The credentials to use for authentication. Checking Save password saves the password securely on your machine, so you don't have to enter the Username and Password again when using the saved connection.

Identify the connection

Enter a Connection name and optional Environment tag.

Environment tags color code and organize connections for convenience. Leaving the drop-down empty is the same as selecting the "None" tag.

Test and save your connection

(Optional) Click Test connection
Relational Migrator attempts to authenticate and connect to the database.
Click Save
The saved connection is available for use in all jobs and projects.
