UpgradePartitionedFile

The UpgradePartitionedFile action upgrades a legacy (pre‑2022 Jade version) single class partitioned database file to a multiple class‑capable format. The partition index is the only physical file that undergoes conversion.

The upgrading of a database partitioned file is implemented as a replayable reorganization process that has the following characteristics.

• It can be executed online with concurrent transactions updating the file being converted

• It can be undone if the process fails

• It is recoverable in a roll‑forward recovery scenario

• It is replayable on SDS secondary databases

The upgrade operation is initiated using the following Jade Database Administration utility syntax.

jdbadmin action=UpgradePartitionedFile 
         [path=database-path]
         [ini=initialization-file-name]
         [server=multiUser|singleUser]
         file=file-to-be-upgraded
         [updatesAllowed=true|false]

The updatesAllowed parameter specifies whether concurrent updates to the file being upgraded are allowed.
