Re: [U2] Migrating UniVerse 10.1.20 on HP-UX to UV 11.x on Redhat Linux

Did you use "format.conv" (UNIX / DOS/Windows command) or FORMAT.CONV (TCL command) on the HPUX sourced files that restored - post-restore? This will convert them into the format required for the target system...

There are many options to choose from...see Admin.pdf (In the UV11.1 edition, see section 15-21 - PDF page 362 or do a TCL HELP FORMAT.CONV)

A quick google would've revealed to you the following thread... which could be useful as well...

Subject: [U2] Migrating UniVerse 10.1.20 on HP-UX to UV 11.x on Redhat Linux

Hi,

The general consensus seems to be that when migrating UniVerse across platforms the best approach is to use UVBACKUP on the old platform and then UVRESTORE on the target platform and all platform issues are taken care of.
We, however have just attempted this process in migrating UniVerse 10.1.20 on HP-UX to UV 11.x on Redhat Linux and have come across the following problem ... 

UVBACKUP seemed to worked OK (we were able to restore on old platform UVRESTORE seemed to work OK on target platform

<http://u2-universe-unidata.1073795.n5.nabble.com/file/n42468/uvscreen.png> 

In the above screenshot the directory contains UniVerse files but UniVerse doesn’t recognise them.  UniVerse can’t run in this directory without its essential database files.  Answering “Y” to the question also won’t work as UniVerse is unable to initialise the directory while it contains rubbish files having the same names as the required UniVerse files.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Michael
