Re: Migration to 9.4

In Response To: RE: Migration to 9.4 (NormaJean.Sebastian@tellabs.com)

Hi,

no. It's not expected to work.

You would have to use dbexport/dbimport for that
kind of operation.
Or use High Performance Loader to get things
done faster than with dbexport/dbimport.

Regards,
Martin

Re: Migration to 9.4 [2601]






Hi,

the way I asked question might be little bit confusing. Let me put it
this way. We will normally do "in place migration" it is not the
question. But lets say I have machine with IDS 9.3 and the other one
with IDS 9.4. Can I onunload database on 9.3 and onload it on 9.4 ?
Does that work? For 9.2-->9.3 as I stated previously it doesn't.
