GOAL:
How does PROCOPY use the st file?
GOAL:
What is the behavior of PROCOPY with the st file?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
If a target database does not exist;
PROCOPY will first create the database using an existing structure description (ST) file in the /target/ database directory.
If an ST file does not exist in the target directory, PROCOPY will then create the target database using the structure of the /source/ database and place /all/ of database the extents in the same directory as the target database structure (DB) file, even when the source database resides in multiple directories.
PROCOPY supports storage areas. Therefore, if a target database exists;
The database must contain at a minimum the same type and number of storage areas and same extent types as the source database. However, the number of extents in the storage areas of the target database do not need to match the number of extents in the source database. Progress attempts to extend the existing extents in the target database to accommodate the possible increase in size.
