Migrating Version 8 Databases To Version 9 Databases
You can convert Progress Version 8 multi-volume databases to Progress Version 9 databases using the CONV89 qualifier with the PROUTIL utility. If your Progress Version 8 database is single-volume, you must convert it to a multi-volume Version 8 database before using the PROUTIL CONV89 utility. This section describes how to convert Version 8 single-volume databases to Version 8 multi-volume database and how to convert Version 8 multi-volume databases to Progress Version 9 databases.
You can use one of three methods described in this section to convert a Version 8 single-volume database to a Version 8 multi-volume database:
- Use the PROCOPY utility to convert an existing single-volume database to a multi-volume database.
- Use the PROREST utility to convert a single-volume database to a multi-volume database, while minimizing disk space usage.
- Use the PROSTRCT utility to convert an existing single-volume database to a multi-volume database.
For more information about administration utilities, such as PROCOPY, PROREST, PROSTRCT and PROUTIL, see Database Administration Utilities."
