1044.0. "CDD/Repository Integration" by ORAREP::USOPS::FEMINO () Wed Jan 29 1997 16:56

    
    Hi,
    
      I'm dealing with two separate OpenVMS VAX platform systems that
      the customer is asking to have certain CDD/Repository System
      Dictionary directories moved too. 
      
      System A is running OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2, CDD/Respository V5.1 and
      Rdb V4.0-2.
    
      System B is running OpenVMS VAX V6.2, CDD/Repository V6.1 and
      Rdb V6.1-04.
     
      Is there a simple way to integrate their directories to the V6.1
      System Dictionary? Are there any known incompatibility issues
      that will prevent this? Would I have problems converting the 
      cdd$database.rdb file and metadata to V6.1? 
    
      As the last resort could I just upgrade the CDD/Repository on 
      System A to V6.1 and move the 00000.0000 directory files via
      backup?
    
      Thank you in advance for all your help.

1044.1Moving the repositoryNLVMS3::MWILLEMSDas ganze Leben ist ein QuizThu Jan 30 1997 03:1631
    Ken,                                      
    
    I see no big problems in moving the repository from system A to system
    B. You must do the following on A:
    
    - SET DEFAULT to directory where your repository is.
    - RMU/BACKUP/LOG CDD$DATABASE [-]C
    - BACKUP/LOG/EXCLUDE=(*.RD%,*.SNP) *.* [-]C.BCK/SAV
    - MC CDO
      CDO>VERIFY/ALL/FIX your repository.
    - If the verify displays errors, fix them
    - If the verify doesn't display errors, copy the C.RBF and C.BCK to
      system B.
    
    On system B:
    - Create the directory where the repository must be on B.
    - BACKUP/LOG C.BCK/SAV device:[directory]
    - RMU/RESTORE/LOG/NOCDD/DIR=device:[directory] C.RBF
      This converts the CDD$DATABASE to Rdb version 6.1
    - If you didn't do it already, install ECO 3 of CDD 6.1
    - @SYS$LIBRARY:CDD$UPGRADE
      to convert the repository to 6.1
    
    If you want to make 1 repository out of the one, coming from A and the
    one already on B, I see no other possibility then to extract the
    definitions our of A in a CDO-file and the run the CDO-file on the
    existing repository on B (or has anyone a better idea??).
    
    I hope I could help you with this.

     Thank you for the quick response and information.
     I'm sure this will work.
