https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/pulling-my-hair-out-converting-programs/m-p/2550786#M80444 Hello all, our old HP system is on the virge of a crash, and the backup tape is broken, so i decided to install linux and set up eloquence on it and everything (im a guru with linux) Initially about 20 programs didn't run right, not bad considering we have hundreds. I got it down to 3 programs. They all have error code -1 or 56, meaning the database isnt there, but it is! I did the dbexport -v -c -r BLAH for all 5 of our database, i tar'd them up, and then transferred them. 9 hours and 50 megabytes later, it was done. I transferred it to the linux box via network, 2 minutes later that was done. Untarred it into a tmp dir,and then did a dbimport -v -u dba BLAH for all the databases, all of them went fine. When i try to run 1 program, it says error 56 on line 1600, 1600 is <BR />DBERASE "EXPEN,DATA";"EXPENSES","1"<BR />meaning erase the database EXPEN in volume DATA. When i look at the debug logs it shows that /opt/eloquence6/share/accutrak.files/EXPEN does not exist, and it doesnt, what am i doing wrong here? I've been messing with it for a couple days and i just cant figure it out.

Just<BR />make a tar file of your mount points from your<BR />database and transfer the tar file to the<BR />linux machine. Setup the mount points on your<BR />linux box the same as your old machine.<BR /> Thu, 12 Jul 2001 06:47:49 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/pulling-my-hair-out-converting-programs/m-p/2550787#M80445 Johan den Boer 2001-07-12T06:47:49Z
