Hi,

I have a set of hashfiles with live data in a UNIX box. I want to move this live data to testing server. Is there any utility to do this?

Thanks
Venkatesh

Use the normal unix commands - rcp, tar etc.

But if you are performing SQL against it, you may have to create the files first in the new server before moving the data.

The best (safe) utilities to use are:
  • format.conv -export (then format.conv -import) if the hashed files are SQL tables

    uvbackup (then uvrestore) only if the hashed files aren't SQL tables
