Use these steps to convert a Progress version 9 database to OpenEdge 10 when the following conditions hold:
-
A version 9 database has been moved to a new machine where OpenEdge 10 has been installed.
-
The directory where the version 9 database has been placed on the new machine is different from what it was originally.
-
The migration is between Progress/OpenEdge versions on the same supported Platform.
STEPS:
1. From an environment where the DLC and PATH environment variables have been correctly set for OpenEdge 10, place the following at the front of the PATH environment variable:
[WINDOWS] PATH=%DLC%\bin\91dbutils;%PATH%
[UNIX] PATH=$DLC/bin/91dbutils:$PATH; export PATH
2. Edit the structure file of the version 9 database so that all the paths to the database files are set to the fully qualified path
3. change the convmap to version 9:
[WINDOWS] set PROCONV=%DLC%\bin\91dbutils\convmap.cp
[UNIX] PROCONV=$DLC/bin/91dbutils/convmap.cp; export PROCONV
4. Repair the version 9 database structure with the version 9 executable:
91_dbutil prostrct repair <dbname> <dbname.st>
5. Truncate the version 9 database with the version 9 executable:
91_proutil <dbname> -C trunc bi -G 3
6. Take a backup of the version 9 database:
91_dbutil probkup <dbname> <device>
7. change the convmap to version 10:
[WINDOWS] set PROCONV=%DLC%\convmap.cp
[UNIX] PROCONV=$DLC/convmap.cp; export PROCONV
8. Convert the version 9 database to version 10 database with conv910:
proutil <dbname> -C conv910
9. The database has been successfully converted to OpenEdge 10. It is recommended to make a baseline backup of the converted database at this point.
