Migrating jConnect Applications

Migrating applications to jConnect 6.x

Use the following procedure to upgrade to jConnect 6.x.

Migrating to jConnect 6.0

1. If your code uses Sybase extensions, or if you explicitly import any jConnect class in your code, change package import statements as needed.
   
   For example, change import statements such as

   import  com.sybase.jdbc.*

   and

   import com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.*

   to

   import  com.sybase.jdbcx.*

   
   
   For information on using the Sybase extension APIs, see "Changing Sybase extensions ".
2. Set JDBC_HOME to the top directory of the jConnect driver you installed:
   
   

   JDBC_HOME=jConnect-6_0

   
   
   For more information on setting JDBC_HOME, see "Setting Environment Variables" in Chapter 1 of the jConnect for JDBC Installation Guide.
3. Change your CLASSPATH environment variable to reflect the new installation. For jConnect 6.0, your classpath must include the following:
   
   

   JDBC_HOME/classes/jconn3.jar

4. Change the source code where the driver is loaded, and recompile the application to use the new jConnect 6.05 driver:

   Class.forName("com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver");

5. Verify that the new jConnect 6.05 driver (in JDBC_HOME/classes/jconn3.jar) is the first jConnect driver specified in your CLASSPATH environment variable.
