Installing and Upgrading ENVOX r Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)
11.1 Usin g the PDX Utility
The following steps describe how to use the PDX utility to save the data
in non-ENVOX databases. The same utility is used to reload the data
into newly created databases on the server.
More details on the PDX utility are given in the System Manager’s Guide,
Section 9.
Step 1: Run the PDX utility to write a file containing the non-ENVOX
database data out to a disk or to tape:
$ mcr envox$application:pdx.exe -U df ”SERVER” ” DB”
”sa_passwd” filename
where SERVER = name of server
DB = name of the database
sapasswd = your sa password
filename = PDX file to be created
If PDX fails, it will display a message on the screen. See the
next section for the explanation for these messages. You may
be able to correct the problem and try again.
Step 2: Install SYBASE and ENVOX software as described in section
3 and section 4 of this manual and upgrade to P3.4. The
upgrade process deletes the databases.
Step 3: Run the PDX utility on the PDX file in information mode. This
will give data and log sizes of the database:
$ mcr envox$application:pdx.exe -sv ff filename nl:
Step 4: Create the database using the facilities of your utility. Use the
reserved size and log size obtained in Step 3 to allocate
sufficient size, as follows:
J minimum database size = Reserved size times 1.26, or
greater.
J minimum database log size = Log size, or greater.
J The data and log fragments do not have to correspond to
those in the original database.
Step 5: Load the PDX data into the newly created database:
$ mcr envox$application:pdx.exe -U fd filename
”SERVER””DB””sa_passwd”
