Copy VOC entries of Hashed files
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 2:06 pm

Hello Gurus,
We're migrating our jobs from one server to another - we're exporting/importing jobs & sequences; we're copying over the Hashed files.
Since all the Hashed files have an entry in VOC is there a way to export those entries into the new VOC? Any easier solution to create the VOC entries?
Thank you

Just to double-check - these are "account-based" hashed files that live in the Project, yes? Out of curiousity, how many are we talking about?

Yes Craig - these are "account-based" Hashed files that live in the Project. Between 350 to 500.

I've never had to deal with that many as we kept as few as possible in the Projects, so I've handled them manually. And that meant validating the jobs that create them, so they create an empty hashed file and the VOC record and then copying over the Type30 directory contents from the old server / system.
Ray or Arnd may have a more... scripted... or automated approach in their bag of tricks. [crosses fingers]

Use the format.conv (also known as fnuxi) or uvbackup command to export the hashed files; this will also move their VOC entries.
When restoring, use format.conv or fnuxi or uvrestore respectively.
The format.conv and fnuxi commands have -export and -import options.
You can find details for all of these commands in UniVerse documentation.

Ah yes, uvbackup and uvrestore, forgot about those.

I'll give that a try. Thanks Ray & Craig

Here is what I tried at UNIX prompt and I got an error. Please advise.
Code: Select all
format.conv -export -name zzz /path/mav121
Processing '/path/mav121'.
Exporting DDL from sica of table '/path/mav121'.
'/path/mav121' is not an SQL table, file was not modified.
mav121 directory contains DATA.30, OVER.30 and .Type30. I also see D_mav121 in parent directory and "SELECT * FROM mav121" in UV returns result.
Thanks

You can not use this technique with a hashed file except one that has a SICA (security and integrity constraints area), which means that you the hashed file was created with a UniVerse stage as a UniVerse/SQL table.
That's why I referred you to the documentation, so you could be aware of the restrictions on the various commands.

I'll read up on the documentation for uvbackup. Hopefully I'll be able to export selected Hashed files using this command.
Thanks Ray.

I tried uvbackup and got the below error. I put the Hashed file path "/path/mav121" in file "/home/dsadm/zzz" and tried backing up just one Hashed file.
Error:
Code: Select all
uvbackup -cmdfil /home/dsadm/zzz
