Hi all,

I'd like to know if loading a dump from a Solaris box (64 bit Sparc,
running 12.5.0) can be loaded onto a box running Linux (32 bit Intel)
both using 4bit pages?

Thanks,

Kennett

No, not at the moment. This capability is apparently being worked on, and
should be available either later this year, or early next year.

In the meantime you can use the sybmigrate tool, or write an ad-hoc bcp
out/bcp in script.

What is it exactly in a dump from an 32-bit ASE on 64-bit Solaris that
prevents it from being loaded onto a 32-bit ASE on Linux, even if the
disk allocations are similar ?

The dump file mostly consists of page images. The main sticking point
is that Solaris (on Sparc) and Linux (on x86) are on opposite sides
of the big-endian / little endian divide; they store multibyte values
with the bytes in different orders.
