Yes.

No.

If you have not done yet, you might be interested to checkout the migration white paper:

"Migrating to Progress V9 Database"

Hello,

We are migrating from V7.3E to V9.1D.But it is not happening in same server, we are migrating from one server ( with V7.3E) to another server ( with V9.1D)

As mentioned , there are two paths,

1) Dump and load

2) Conversion utilitiy ( v7 to v8 and then v9)..

Is there any recommended path ? From the white paper for database migration, I guess dump and load seems to be straight forward.

I'm kind of stuck in these two steps,

1) creating V9 void database

2) configuring V9 database..

I tried to create V9 void database but while trying to get connected it is throwing error message 1423 ( server not available) - how to resolve this ?

How difficult is configuring V9 database ?

Regarding application migration, will the re-compilation solve the problem or do we need to take any special care about this ?

V7.3E is on Sun sparc 5.4 server and V9.1D is on Sun sparc 5.8

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance...
