    Hi, Please help me. I am using SSMA v.5.3 version to migrate oracle schema to sql server and the oracle schema size is just 2 GB and around 2800 tables. But the schema conversion step is taking more than 12 hours. Source is linux OS and target is windows 2012. I am using server side migration . Could some one please help me to resolve the slowness.  Very very slow conversion. Thanks, Vijay

    Can you please document when and why SSMA 5.3 adds or does not add SSMA_Timestamp columns? I have not been able to find this info on the internet and can't figure out what the pattern is.

    Any word on the win32 install issue?  I'm also on win server 2003 r2 and am getting the error "...SSMA for Sybase 5.3.0 is not a valid Win32 application."  It gives me a similar error if I try to open the Oracle version.  Help!  I want to leave sybase behind.

    The link on "Getting Started with SQL Server Migration Assistant for Access (AccessToSQL)" to the download is broken. It takes you to the Microsoft learning homepage. :(

    Any response from Microsoft why SSMA 5.3 will not install on Server 2003?  I am getting the same error the other users have posted that it is  not a valid Win32 application. I am using the SSMA for Oracle download.  If I try to install on my Win7 64 bit machine it installs fine.  Really need this to run on the  Server 2003 machine.
