GOAL:
Can UNIX binary dump files be loaded on Windows?
GOAL:
Are binary dump files portable among different platforms?
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Windows
FIX:
Yes, binary dump files (.bd) are portable across all platforms, regardless of CPU type.
However, the binary load process will not work on Linux if the Windows binary dump files (.bd) are larger than 2GBytes because Linux does not currently support large files (files greater than 2 gigabytes).
