2262.0. "Moving database from VAX to Alpha" by ROM01::FRISINA (OMS Rome, Italy) Fri May 23 1997 07:30

    Is it possible to transfer the SLS server database from a VAX system to
    an Alpha, simply copying the PRIMAST and history files directories and
    updating the definitions in the server and different clients 
    TAPESTART.COM?
    
    I was wondering if there is a different RMS structure...
    
    (We are running SLS V2.8A on every node)
    
    Thanks

        I've done it at least once. But I must admit, I took it granted
        that it can be done and just did it. It was a few years ago,
        maybe using SLS V2.4 or V2.5.
