SUMMARY:
In general, the rule to migrate a Progress database to another platform is execute a dump and load (especially a migration to platforms that have a different byte order).
There are, however, some specific situations where you do not need to execute the dump and load process to migrate a database.
EXPLANATION:
You do not need to dump and load a database under the following situations:
FROM: TO:
V8.X HP-UX 10.20 32-Bits V8.3X HP-UX 11 32-Bits
V8.X HP-UX 10.20 32-Bits V9.X HP-UX 11 32-Bits
V8.X HP-UX 10.20 32-Bits V9.1X HP-UX 11 64-Bits
V8.3 OR V9.X HP-UX 11 32-Bits V9.1X HP-UX 11 64-Bits
V8.X OR V9.X Solaris 32-Bits V9.1C Solaris 64-Bits
Progress recomends you use the PROUTIL dbanalys on the original and the new installation to compare the number of records in each table. Always have a valid backup of the database before you start the migration process.
