The PROUTIL CONV1213 REPLSOURCE qualifier is used to convert a replication source database from OpenEdge Release 12 to OpenEdge Release 13. This operation generates a schema backup file for use in converting the replication target.

Syntax

proutil db-name -C conv1213 replsource conversion-file

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the name of the OpenEdge Release 12 replication source database.
replsource

Creates a schema backup file with the name specified by conversion-file from a replication-enabled OpenEdge Release 12 source database. After-imaging and replication are enabled for the generated replication source. The backup file is used later by the repltarget operation. This option applies only to replication source databases.

conversion-file
Specifies the schema backup file created from the replication source database.
You may save time by converting only the database schema area instead of the entire database. Upgrading from OpenEdge Release 12 to OpenEdge Release 13 allows this type of conversion.
Note: Before you convert the database schema area, make sure that your databases meet requirements. Complete the steps in Prepare to convert replication-enabled databases from OpenEdge 12 to OpenEdge 13.
The PROUTIL CONV1213 REPLSOURCE qualifier performs the following actions:
  • Creates a schema backup file that includes replication metadata.
  • Ensures compatibility with OpenEdge Release 13 replication targets.
  • Validates that replication is properly configured.
Note: This operation is required for environments using OpenEdge Replication. If your database is not replication-enabled, follow the steps in PROUTIL CONV1213 qualifier.
