Moving a Progress Database to the AS/400
These are the tasks involved in moving a Progress application to the AS/400:
- Establish basic connectivity between the client machine and the AS/400.
- Run DUPPRODB to create the empty server schema on the AS/400 machine.
- Dump data and data definitions from your Progress database.
- Create and synchronize a client schema holder.
- Load the data definitions from your Progress database into the Progress/400 environment.
- Synchronize the client schema holder.
- Load data into data files on the AS/400.
- Adjust your code to account for differences in behavior between Progress and DB2/400.
- Decide how you will maintain the DB2/400 data definitions: either through DDS on the AS/400 machine or through the Progress/400 Data Dictionary on the client machine. Do not mix the two methods.
- If you use DDS to maintain data definitions, update the server schema with CHGPRODCT to reflect any modifications that you make to the DB2/400 definitions.
