ifxclone in IDS 11.7 support Cross Platforms?
Hi All,
The database I am handling is due for migration from Solaris to AIX. But the
problem is, it's a production database and the downtime we can have is
minimal. So, dbexport/dbimport might not be feasible in my case.
I was reading thru 11.7 documentation and stumbled upon this ifxclone utility.
I was wondering whether does this utility support cross platform?
Hello.
According to Information Center, the prerequisites for using ifxclone are:
"Hardware and software requirements for the servers are generally the
same as those for HDR secondary servers (refer to the machine notes for
specific supported platforms)."
The mentioned tools for migrating to a different OS are:

mig_106.htm
But I think you could have a low downtime, using Mr Art Kagel "dbcopy"
utility.
You could check previous posts here on the forum, explaining it, and try it.
Best regards.

Yes it does. Note that you can use my dbexport/dbimport replacement
package, myexport, to export the database without requiring any locks.
Against and 11.50+ server, using the external table and parallel export
options, it is very fast.
