Convert 6.2 database to 6.3 USE proutil <db> -C cn6263
To convert a PROGRESS database from version 6.2 to 6.3, refer to
the Documentation Bulletin 6.3 which should be shipped with each
6.3 license.
- Using PROGRESS 6.2, use proutil <dbname> -C truncate bi
to truncate the before image file.
- Back up the database.
- Using PROGRESS 6.3, use
proutil <dbname> -C cn6263
to convert the metaschema of the database to version 6.3.
- Back up the database again.
The cn6263 only updates the master block. It does not read each
database block, therefore the conversion should take the same amount
of time for any size database. You should see the command prompt
return almost immediately when you run this command.
NOTE:
If you didn`t truncate the database with PROGRESS 6.2 use PROGRESS 6.3
proutil <dbname> -C cn6263 -F
Be aware that this will damage your database and you have to dump the
complete database (definitions and data) and load it into a new
database! For large databases it will be quicker to reinstall the
PROGRESS 6.2 proutil in a seperate directory and do the truncate as
explained above.
