The database migration tool must be used to migrate data from the source system database (standing database) to the destination system database (new database). The migration tool may be obtained through a Progress Technical Support contact or Progress Sales Engineer. The tool is available in the form of a tar file: DBMigrationTool.tar.gz. The following folders and files are included in the DBMigrationTool directory.

  • config
  • config/log4j.properties
  • config/migrationTool.properties
  • libs
  • DBMigrationTool.sh
  • readme.txt

The migration tool can be run in three different modes.

  • EXPORT_IMPORT mode. Migrates the data from the source to the destination database without writing the data to the file system.
  • EXPORT mode. Exports the data from the source database as a .db file.
  • IMPORT mode. Imports the data from the source database .db file into the destination database. An import operation overwrites the schema and data of the destination database.
