Migrate from SAP ASE to SAP ASE on Amazon EC2 using AWS DMS and SAP ASE native methods
Database Blog
This article discusses different options for migrating an on-premises SAP ASE (Sybase) database to SAP ASE on Amazon EC2, including using AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and SAP ASE native methods like dump/load and Bulk Copy Program (bcp).
Specifically, the article covers:
- AWS DMS for low-latency, real-time replication with minimal downtime for business-critical applications with large databases
- SAP ASE native dump/load method for migrating non-critical applications with databases in the range of 100-300 GB, with relaxed RTO/RPO requirements
- SAP ASE native bcp utility for migrating smaller databases (less than 100 GB) with high latency and less application dependency
- Detailed steps for each migration method, including prerequisites, configuration, and execution
- Considerations and trade-offs for each approach based on database size, application criticality, and downtime requirements
