Converting a Single-volume Version 8 Database With PROCOPY
Follow these steps to convert an existing Version 8 single-volume database to a multi-volume database:
- Create a structure description file to define the appropriate files for the multi-volume database. Give this structure description file a different name from the single-volume database you want to convert.
For example, suppose you have a single-volume database called
finance.db
on a UNIX machine. You might create the following structure description file:
- Use the PROSTRCT utility with the CREATE qualifier to create a void multi-volume database structure from the information in the structure description. Give this database the same name as the structure description file. Following is an example of the command:
- Use the PROCOPY utility to copy the single-volume database to the void multi-volume database structure. The source database cannot be in use when you attempt to use PROCOPY. In addition, you cannot use PROCOPY against a crashed database; you must recover the database first. Following is an example of the PROCOPY command:
The resulting database is then ready to use with Progress applications and can be directly converted to Progress Version 9.
