We have an (old) content server database of 150 GB on 7.3.0.52 and we're trying to migrate that database to Linux x86_64 bit. I tried the following before:
- tried to install/run 7.3 on SuSE SLES 11 SP1 - failing (new kernel threading)
- tried to restore the 7.3 backup on 7.5 - failing (host pagaes too old)
- tried to use 'loadercli' of 7.5 (Note 962019) - failing (ASCII --> Unicode)
- now trying to use 7.6.06.20 and stuck
I want to use pipes as transport and use loadercli on the target system (7.6).
I created two files (according to note 962019)
EXPORT USER catalog outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT' data outstream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES package outstream file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.export'
and
IMPORT USER catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT' data instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES package outstream '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.import'
The pipes are not existing.
I start the export which seems to work, the COS.CAT pipe is created.
As soon as I start the import, I get the following error message:
IMPORT USER catalog instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.CAT' data instream pipe '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' PAGES package outstream '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.import' // * // M Execute PACKAGE to transform CATALOG / * // M Import PACKAGE x'01000000A296EB4EB45800009B16031EC842BF0100000000' // * // M Number of TABLES transformed : 3 // * // M Processed command is a PAGES format based copy from database // with ASCII catalog to database with UNICODE catalog // * // M Execute PACKAGE to transform DATA // * // M Number of TABLES to transform: 0 // * // E -25329: The given data file '/home/sqdcos/trans/COS.DATA' was not // generated using EXPORT in PAGE Format (missing table description).
plus I get an additional pipe created "COS.DATA0000"
What am I missing here? I'm fiddling with this since hours and I can't figure what I'm doing wrong.
