GOAL:
How to migrate a progress 8.3x database to 9.1x using a binary dump and load?
GOAL:
Possible solution when migrating from V8.3X to V9.1X database
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.3x
Progress 9.1x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
This is an appropriate solution when the V8 database is less than 5 Gb in size, because the dumping and loading is a time intensive operation.
1. Backup the V8 database.
2. Dump the definitions from the V8 database (.df files).
3. Binary dump the data from the V8 database (.d files).
4. Create a V9 database with the storage areas needed.
5. Load the .df files from the V8 database into the V9 database.
6. Load the binary dump files created into the new V9 database.
7. Backup the V9 database.
