Getting Familiar with the GUI

SwisSQL Sybase to SQL Server sports a simple and effective UI. The product snapshot given below briefs the various features and options available.

• Wizard : The Migration wizard helps you to connect and fetch Sybase ASE database objects that are to be migrated
• Sybase T-SQL database objects : The T-SQL Files tree shows all the Sybase ASE database objects that are fetched or loaded into the product
• Migrate All/ Selected Files : You can migrate selected files or migrate all Sybase objects to SQL Server using Migrate / Migrate Selected Files
• SQL Server T-SQL database objects : The Migrated MSSQL Files tree shows all the migrated SQL Server database objects.
• Compile: The tool helps you compile the migrated SQL Server T-SQL database objects in SQL Server.

Users can understand the tool operations more closely by viewing the Output and Errors logs. Output logs store information about the databases connected, numbers of objects fetched, and so on. This gives users a complete view on the sequence of operations performed by the tool. Error logs store exceptions and errors during the migration process. Output logs and Error logs are stored under <SwisSQL Product home/ logs>, users can view these files to resolve issues during migration.
