Hi Everyone,

Before posting this message i have searched the forum.

Currently some jobs are running on Version 7.5.2 on Unix Server i need to migrate those jobs or whole project to new version 8.0.1 on windows server. Could you tell me what are the steps do i need to consider while migrating safely or the procedure to import the jobs with out any errors.

Thanks

No procedure necessary. Import into Version 8 and recompile; do a test run with known data to compare to your original V7 results and if they are not the same you have a problem.

It makes sense to use UNIX path notation on windows as well so that you can cross platforms without having to convert.

Hi,

You mean all those files and hash files which were designed in unix server should Ftp to windows server rite?

Thanks

Change Unix commands to Windows (command line and ExecSH to ExecDOS ).

New line characters if used in routines and custom codes.

Not sure your job scheduling on Unix , Check that if needed on Windows to work.

The sequential files will FTP without a problem, but the hashed files will not. You can copy them over and then convert them using the FNUXI or FORMAT.CONV commands.

Better is to use the -export and -import options of FORMAT.CONV for the move. Or uvbackup and uvrestore commands.
