Default Database Migration to new server - Any suggestions Urgent - 09-14-2003 , 06:05 PM






Hi All

We are running production box with informix 9.21 on solaris, the
present database has installed with DATABLADES
(ETX,LLD adn TXT) but we are not using any blobs, clobs ,rowdatatypes
etc in our database.
Separate webserevr running tomcat.

We got a new database server for a better performance with more memory
and disks ,we have installed
the same version of informix on new box without creating SBSPACES.

We have migrate the database to new server adn put on production.

For testing , i did dbexport from the present server, edited the .sql
file removed all the code related to
datablade procedures, tables, functions, datatypes etc. Did dbimport
on new server, and our application
looks working fine.

We want to run our application on new server without datablades and
sbspaces.
Is the above method is fine to migrate the database, or do i need to
lok at any other areas?
And also could you please suggest how do i put the new database server
for load testing?
So that i can do some performance measure.

Any ideas, suggestions will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks Heaps

I'd probably import the entire database and then use blademangler
to remove the blades rather than doing it my hand.

re: load testing, there are a number of free tools that will load up
apache/tomcat, check out the apache and tomcat websites

No these tools are not free .... QALoad is from Compuware (this is good for
homegrown applications) ... and LoadRunner is from Mercury Interactive
(this is very good for Internet applications).

On Unix platforms, people prefer TCL/TK expect for loadtesting or
scenario testing because it is free and not too resource intensive.
