Restore backup from progress version 4246 to 11.2

Posted by filip.lindby@rejlers.se on 29-May-2013 02:39

I have a backup file (backup.bup) and 'Open Edge Progress 11.2' installed in my Windows 64-bit environment.

I would like to restore this backup, so I can see the tables and the data in them.

I have tried using prorest, but I get this error: Version number mismatch, backup has 4246, database has 4269. (16691)

What is the easiest way to achieve what I want? Should I convert the newly created database with version 4269 to match version 4246 and then perform the restore?

I tried: proutil myNewDatabase -C conv1110. But there is no conv1110...

Or do I need to install an older version of 'Open Edge'? Which version of 'Open Edge' matches version 4246 in that case? Where can I download it, I can only find 11.2 on the webpage.

Any help is welcomed.

Version 4246 is OpenEdge 10 database and version 4269 is OpenEdge 11 database.

There is a defect logged for the prorest utility to show OpenEdge versions instead of database versions.

Here is the procedure to convert your db from 10 to 11:

1) Backup your database in version 10

probkup v10db.bak

2) Truncate bi in version 10:

proutil -C truncate bi

3) Convert your database in version 11 (from version 10 to 11):

proutil -C conv1011

4) Update VSTs in version 11:

proutil -C updatevst

Thanks for your answer, it is helpful to get me in the right way.

I have follewed this article to try convert the database to 11.2. (http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/000029439?retURL=%2Fapex%2Fprogresskbsearch&popup=false)

But I get this error: msgOpen: unable to open message file: PROMSGS

Do you have PROMSGS file in %DLC%/bin/102dbutils directory?

If yes, check you have permissions to access the file.

Yes I have the file and I have full permissions.
