Re: Problem porting from AIX to Linux
David
When moving databases across operating systems (AIX to Linux in your case)
I would avoid just copying the files over (this is SE) since they may not
be binary compatible. That is probably what the ISAM error is saying to
you. I would dbexport from AIX and dbimport into Linux.

Hello Everyone,
<p>I have to port an SE database from AIX 4.1 to Linux RH 5.2.
<br>I have dbaccess functioning perfectly on the linux machine.
<br>When I open the database with dbaccess I get:
<p>329: Database not found or no system permission.
<br>171: ISAM error: isam file format change detected
<p>Since all permissions are correct I suppose that the problem lyes on
the index file format.
<p>I tried <u>bcheck -s</u> on some tables for instance on zonas__142 but,
<p>$ bcheck -s zonas__142
<p>BCHECK C-ISAM B-tree Checker version 7.24.UC5
<br>Copyright (C) 1981-1997 Informix Software, Inc.
<br>Software Serial Number AAB#J481342
<br>
<p>C-ISAM File: zonas__142
<p>Old index node size = 1024
<br>Key node size = 30
<p>ISAM error: isam file format change detected
<p>It creates a file named zonas__142.idx and the original index is renamed
to zonas__142.IDX but then nothing seems to work properly. I can't even
run bcheck again.
<p>What seems to be happening ?
<br>Could anyone help me ?
<p>Thanx in advance
