Operational Considerations when Converting User Databases

When converting a user database, consider the following.

• The Jade binaries on both operating system and hardware platforms must be on the same Jade level.

• When the database conversion occurs, ensure that there are no active clients and no running Jade applications.

• As the source database must be in a stable state when conversion occurs, no user application should be running.

• The source database cannot have any schemas that require reorganization. This restriction applies even if the files that are to be converted do not require reorganization.

• If a restart is required, entire map files are converted.
