Application Porting Question

Hi , We are about to port our 4gl based application from Hp_UX v11 to Solaris 8 (maybe 10). We will also be upgrading our IDS from 7.31.FD6 to IDS 9.40.xxx (for Solaris) . Currently our 4Gl tools are 7.30.FC4. We will be moving to 7.32.xxx Has anybody out there gone through the same (similar) process and if so were there any unforeseen issues. ? Also what would be peoples advice in approaching this. Theoretically a re-compile of the code and dbexport / dbimport of the data ? Am I being too simplistic or naive here ? Thks for any help. John.

Hi john We've migrated from AIX 4.3 + IDS 7.31 to Linux + IDS 9.4 a rather large DB (>40 GB) The process basically was recompile all the 4gl and form stuff, and dbexport + import. Believe it or not, the process is rather simple Be careful if you have several dbspaces for data. Try to keep them exactly as in source. If you want to re-arrange dbspaces, be careful on their size, change it in the dbexport file (with the clause "in <dbspace>" within a "create table") You'd rather make a previous test consisting of a plain dbexport and try to import (and debug and optimize and adjust and take note!) before going on to the real process. Just a warning: the export took us about 9 hours - downtime - the import took aprox. the same amount of time. Your milleage may vary :-) Hope it helps. All the best. -----Mensaje original----- De: forum.subscriber@iiug.org [mailto:forum.subscriber@iiug.org] En nombre de John Lynch (IS) Enviado el: Viernes, 03 de Diciembre de 2004 11:45 a.m. Para: ids@iiug.org Asunto: Application Porting Question [3837] Hi , We are about to port our 4gl based application from Hp_UX v11 to Solaris 8 (maybe 10).

Hi We have migrate 4GL system from HP_UX 11 to Solaris 9. We choose to stay on the same versions to minimize the risk. We will upgrade to an updated version in a latter stage. We created test environment and do the migration to this environment. We measured time of each step so we could create a very detailed migration plan. We re-compiled all application and export/import the data. Our trouble where mostly with shell scripts that are slightly deferred.
