Migrating Progress Databases to the AS/400

These are the general steps for setting up the DataServer components so that you can migrate a Progress database to the AS/400:

  1. Determine whether you must modify any application code to handle differences between accessing Progress and DB2/400 databases.
  2. Install Progress on the AS/400 and on the client machine.
  3. Establish basic connectivity between the client and the AS/400.
  4. Dump the data definitions and, optionally, data from the Progress database.
  5. Create an empty Progress/400 server schema on the AS/400.
  6. Create a schema holder on the client machine.
  7. Load data definitions to the server schema on the AS/400 with the Progress/400 Data Dictionary tool.
  8. Synchronize the client schema holder with the server schema.
  9. Optionally, load data.
