The PROUTIL CONV1213 REPLTARGET qualifier is used to convert a replication target database from OpenEdge Release 12 to OpenEdge Release 13. This operation restores a schema backup and synchronizes replication metadata.

Syntax

proutil db-name -C conv1213 repltarget conversion-file

Parameters

db-name
Specifies the name of the OpenEdge Release 12 replication target database.
repltarget

Restores the specified schema backup file to the OpenEdge Release 13 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 to be created.

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 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 REPLTARGET qualifier performs the following actions:
  • Applies schema updates to the replication target database.
  • Ensures synchronization with the replication source.
  • Validates replication metadata and schema consistency.
Note: This operation is required for environments using OpenEdge Replication. If your database is not replication-enabled, follow the steps in PROUTIL CONV1213 qualifier.
