HP-UX to SCO

[clegg]

We need to move an Informix Database (Standard Engine) that currently resides on a box with HP-UX as the operating system to one with SCO Openserver 5.0.7.

I dumped the database directory to a tape and then copied it onto the new machine but when I try to access it I get a "database not found or no system permission" error.

All the permissions are fine and all the tables are present and correct.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm missing? Is it that the 2 OS's have done something different with the tables and there's a compatibility issue?

Would I be better using the DBEXPORT/DBIMPORT utilities and not specifying the -ss option?

Any ideas would be gratefully received

You may try to export RESETLOCK=Y and bcheck all the C-ISAM files of the DB.

Hope This Helps, PH.
