1099.0. "VCS (VAX) DB -> PCM (AXP) DB ??? How?" by 37815::SASTRY () Thu Nov 16 1995 15:51

    
    
    	A customer of mine has a need to migrate from VAX to AXP, and in
    the process to migrate from VCS to PCM. Having done a fair amount of
    customization, the customer naturally would like to migrate the
    database as well.
    
    I could certainly use some advice and pointers on how to migrate the
    VCS database on VAX to PCM on AXP.
    
    
    I understand that the "export" and "import" utilities are new in PCM.
    Would I have to execute the following sequence (or is there a more
    straightforward way?) :
    1) upgrade VCS on the VAX to PCM,
    2) convert the database using console$image:console$vcs_convert.exe,
    3) then use "export" in the Config. Editor to write an ASCII file
    4) "import" into PCM on AXP and "reconfigure"?
    
    Will this sequence accomplish what I have outlined?
    
    
    Any help will be appreciated.
    
    Thanks and regards,
    Sastry

    Your procedure will work just fine. Ypu will need to update the
    export file with the correct info for the LAT ports. The conversion
    programs outputs a message explaing this.
