Installin g and Upgrading ENVOX r Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)
J The menu system considers a PDX dump to be both a PDX dump
and a PDX verification of that dump. The verification phase is
transparent to the user, unless several tapes are used for one
database.
Do not PDX dump databases to any of the SYBASE or ENVOX
directories because they are subsequently deleted during the
installation and you will lose the data in the databases.
Caution ...

and down arrow keys or by pressing Return on any of the menu item
fields.

using the left and right arrow keys.

J Most of the menu data is defaulted for you when the menu is
displayed. The defaulted data can be modified.
J Moving the cursor to ENTER and pressing Return causes the data
from the menu to be checked. If there are no errors or warnings, the
upgrade proceeds normally.

followed by menu errors, and then warnings. By repeatedly pressing

menu. Once in the main menu, you can quit if system errors need to
be corrected. For menu errors, correct the menu data and press
Return to check the corrected data.

text.
