SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and SQL statement conversion, data migration as well as migration testing.

This download includes a GUI client based application to manage migration process. A seperate extension pack will install functionalities in SQL Server or Azure SQL DB to emulate Sybase features not natively supported in SQL server or Azure SQL DB.
