Hi all,

I have an account in UV that I need to get on a D3 windows server. I
would assume that I need to backup the account with uvbackup. Are
there any special switches that I need to set when doing the backup?

Can I use the normal account-restore to load this account on D3? Are
there any special switches that I need to use?

Both machines are windows servers, so I don't need to worry about tape
devices.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Rick

AFAIK there is absolutley no way to use uvbackup for restore into
D3..... uvrestore (and that's the "reverse" of uvbackup) didn't
include such an option, .... I stand to be corrected.

The easist way that I could conceive was T.DUMPs but that required a
bit of trickery in the T.ATT that I can't quite recall now... it was
so long ago.... but I think there's a PICK keyword in UV, or
something.... and *that* didn't work *every* time.....

If it ain't broke, fix it until it is....

You could copy all the files in to temporary type 1 or 19 Universe files
then copy these directories to D3 directories with QS pointers. Then
write a program move the Items to their standard files. Or you could
open a Accuterm Session to each database and transfer using its
Pick to Pick transfer. Don't forget the Dict side and be careful
about binary data I.e. Programs.

I'm sure there are other methods to extract out of Universe with a
mechanism to import into D3. With the VOCs and MDs, you will have to
do that likely by hand or with a simple program.

As it is a one off:

1) Load Excel on to your Intel MAC... oh no, sorry wrong thread ;-)

Let's try again:

1) Load a temporay copy of jBASE
2) uvbackup from DOS shell
3) resuv in jBASE
4) ACCOUNT-SAVE in jBASE (you could stop there ;-) )
5) ACCOUNT-RESTORE in D3

It's a bit convoluted, but it won't cost you anything and there is no
need to write any code, buy Excel or generate CSVs.

This may be a bit late, but just for the record, run, don't walk over
to Raining data's FTP site and download UVDUMP.

This is a tool supplied by RD to dump a UniVerse account into a format
that can be used by D3 (and other systems), there is also doco.

Problem solved (and you do not get fired....)

Barry,

I went to ftp.rainingdata.com and couldn't find the program. Any idea
where it might be?
