RE: Migrating U2 data
we have spent the last 10 days trying to get this to work ALL THE TIME. we used to cpio the account up, ftp it across and then cpio it out again. However we were finding that files were not being included in the cpio output. We know from experience that tar doesn't work on the input side of things. so the other alternative is to use uvbackup. However on an aix system there is a limit of 2gb file sizes so it makes multiple files. Not only that but it takes FOREVER to do the backup - on a aix box it took about 7 hours to backup 4.5gb of data, yet uvrestore takes 20 minutes to restore it on the w2k server. However we were originally using uvadmin to do the restore but this has no functionality to deal with multiple files. Therefore you need the command line version to do it. We are still getting intermittent errors with some files not being restored. There is a known issue with type1 files not working when you restore it - they should be resized to type 19 before uvbackup is done. However, we are also having problems where a "find . -print" to get the list of files to backup causes a failure in the restore. However if we do a "find ./ACCOUNT -print" from the parent directory of the account, the files restore ok. We're still working on getting a reliable routine together. However in the past we've successfully just cpio'd the data, ftp'd across (in binary) and then "uncpio'd" it back out again. However recent events in the past month or two, on uv10, w2k servers have caused us these problems. hth, Andy -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: Migrating U2 data
Since both machines are INTEL, there is no real conversion of the data files needed EXCEPT 1) File names must be NT compatible. Don't try to transfer a file call "CYNDI*CALVIN" from the SCO system to NT. The "*" is a wildcard and you won't be able to open it properly. 2) Dynamic files cannot be migrated easily due to the directory structure and the "hidden" files inside. Many copy programs ignore them (.Type30)since the flag files are "0" length. 3) Program files are more likely to have reserved characters. Also there could be problems with Long filenames and wrapping of names at 14 characters. I would T-DUMP the data from program files and T-LOAD them on the XP system. Then re-compile (which also ensures you have all the source code before de-commissioning your system) 4) Indexes. If you setup indexes on your SCO system, you will need to use the SET.INDEX command for Each data file. I would suggest rebuilding all indexes. - Original Message - From: "Cyndi Calvin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "U2 Users Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 11:50 AM Subject: Re: Migrating U2 data Interesting.

RE: Migrating U2 data
Title: Message I have to agree here. We did the same identical conversion back several years ago from UV 7 on SCO, to the second UV release available on NT (don't remember the exact version number). All we did was TAR the SCO database, copy it through the network, and then UNTAR it on the NT side. Everything worked great. Kept correct path names and everything. The only major problems we had were things that were written to use Unix commands or Unix subsystem. My 2 cents... Glenn W. Paschal PasTech LLC Computer Consulting ph. (931) 526-9631 fx.

Re: Migrating U2 data
Dear Cyndi My suggestion is to write two routines. One is to export the data to two flat files (one to contain data the other to contain a list of files with associated item and byte counts) the other routine to read one of the flat files to determine the files to create and their correct sizes and or type the process the other flat file by writing the data, item by item into the appropriate file(s). This we have done many times and works regardless of the source and destination system you are involved with. It also has the added advantages of allowing you to automatically check the import has worked OK, that you can filter out unwanted characters or pieces of data such as object code from dictionaries or CHAR(0)s as is often found in some old systems PLUS when it comes time to do the final cutover you can modify the original SELECT list so you only need to bring across that which has changed and is required. All you set up and modifications needed to get the software to work on the destination machine need not be done again as you are simply loading the data into files.

Re: Migrating U2 data
Well, Universe is the RDMS (no?). I just need the data (Unidata, yes?) We have an very old 7.3.1.1 version of UniVerse running on SCO 3.2. We want to move it to a new Windows XP or 2000 client. I have the UniVerse 10.0 to install on Windows. Someone also mentioned using uvbackup and uvrestore. I'm looking at http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/9155.pdf page 31. - Original Message - From: D Averch To: U2 Users Discussion List Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 2:40 PM Subject: Re: Migrating U2 data Universe or Unidata?

Re: Migrating U2 data
IBM actually has documentation on this. http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/9155.pdf It's in the first chapter. You just need to copy the data files through the network and use the convdata & convcode tools. I would recommend a complete rebuild of indexes as opposed to using convidx. The main issues you will find is things that were coded to interact with the OS.
