If the new machine has GT.M and VistA in the same directories as the old machine it's trivial: just copy the GT.M and VistA routine (source and object) directories to the new machine. To copy databases, use mupip backup to get a backup copy of the database files and move those over to the new machine. Note: the GT.M directory must be copied by user root, and file ownership and permissions must be preserved.
If you want to use a simple Linux copy to move the database files, you will need to get the users out and you should perform a mupip rundown on the files before the copy. But this is not necessary if you use mupip backup, which can be used while the application is in use. If the directories on the new machine are different, simply reinstall GT.M on the new machine from the distribution file, which should take all of 30 seconds. After you cocpy VistA, remember to change the identity of the VistA on the new machine. -- Bhaskar On Thu, 2005-07-21 at 22:32 -0500, Pkale Robinson wrote: > Would it be possible to transfer an entire gtm and OpenVista > directory > to a fresh linux machine after you have gotten it configured?
