GOAL:
What strategy does apply for upgrading progress version?
FIX:
1) If the database is not a version 8 database, first convert it to version 8 by either using the conversion utility (Conv78 for Progress 7x) or using Dump and Load.
2) If the database is single volume, you will need to convert it to a
multi-volume database.
3) Truncate the BI file.
4) Run proutil <db> -C conv89. This should take under 5 minute regardless of database size.
5) Backup the database.
6) Add areas to the database.
7) Move the data from area 6 to the areas you've just explicitly created.
Starting from 9.1D, you may use the option "mvsch" of proutil to truncate the schema area.
