Converts an OpenEdge Release 11 replication target database to an OpenEdge Release 12 replication target database.

Syntax

proutil db-name -C conv1112  repltarget conversion-file

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the OpenEdge Release 11 target database name.
repltarget
Restores the specified schema backup file to the OpenEdge Release 12 target database and performs any repairs that are needed for synchronization. This option applies only to replication target databases.
conversion-file
Specifies the name of the schema backup file.

The repltarget qualifier lets you convert without a replication rebase, because the utility converts only the database schema area instead of the entire database. Upgrading from OpenEdge Release 11 to OpenEdge Release 12.3 allows this type of conversion.

If your database is not replication-enabled, follow the steps in PROUTIL CONV1112 qualifier.

CAUTION: Before you convert the database schema area, make sure that your databases meet requirements. Complete the steps in Prepare to convert replication-enabled databases in Upgrade to OpenEdge 12 before you run CONV1112.
Note: Users who defined SQL views in an OpenEdge Release 11 database may see messages like the following after running CONV1112. 
You must have your database backed up before running the conversion. (1024)
