Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)

5.4 Creating and Loading ENVOX and Open Databases

After the Upgrade

Upgrades from ENVOX P3.4 preserve logical devices.

Upgrades from P2.x, P3.0, P3.2, and P3.3 systems delete

logical devices, they must be re-created.

The upgrade process does not createanemptyENVOX

database. ENVOX databases must be created before loading

ENVOX and OPEN databases using the PDX utility.

Note ...

You use the PDX utility embedded in ENVOX software to load databases

from a PDX dump. This utility is described in the The System Manager ’s

Guide for ENVOX Configuration Software, SM1.0:SW3151.

The following steps describe the process for loading ENVOX and Open

databases from a PDX dump.

Step 1: After the successful installation of ENVOX software, run the

standalone ADMIN utility to create logical devices and

databases to receive the PDX dumps which were created

before the SYBASE and ENVOX upgrade.

See sections 5 and 9 of the The System Manager ’s Guide to

ENVOX Configuration Software, SM1.0:SW3151, for details

on how to create these databases. Use the list of database

statistics produced during the SYBASE upgrade to help

determine the size to make the databases.

Step 2: To load the PDX dumps into the databases, use either the

ENVOX administration forms system or the command line

version of the PDX utility (pdx.exe).

The PDX utility can load PDX dumps from either disk or tape.
