Steps to convert v6 database to v8 ( proutil -C conv68 )
Steps to convert v6 database to v8 ( proutil -C conv68 )
--------------------------------------------------------
Progress gives you, the customer, the ability to move directly from
version 6 to version 8. The utility will convert your existing
version 6 database to a version 8 database in one step. This process
is expected to take about the same amount of time it takes to do an
index rebuild on the given database. To find out what this utility
does, see the kbase entitled "How does conv67 work?". This explains
the first part of the conv68. The second portion of the utility,
should only take a few minutes. During the second portion of the
utility progress,
1) opens the database
2) performs crash recovery
3) turns off after imaging and 2 phase commit if necessary
4) performs Metaschema changes
5) performs Masterblock changes
6) updates all extent header blocks
7) does version change to Masterblock
How to do the convert version 6 to version 8.
---------------------------------------------
1) truncate your version 6 database
2) backup your version 6 database
***this is very important, if the convert utility fails you will
need to restore the backup to continue***
3) install version 8 of Progress on your system
4) run the conversion utility on the version 6 database
syntax --> proutil DBNAME -C conv68 [specify code page here]
When this command completes your database version is now version 8.
NOTE: The conversion utility will convert the code page to iso8859-1
by default. You can specify ibm850 on the utility to keep the
database at ibm850 (the version 6 default). If you want any
other codepage you will need to set the codepage to undefined
during the conversion and use the <proutil DBNAME -C convchar
convert CODEPAGE> utility and then do a full index rebuild.
