Migrating a NetBatch-Plus Database

This subsection describes how to migrate a NetBatch-Plus database from one system

to another system. This is particularly useful for users migrating from an HP NonStop

K-series system to a NonStop S-series system.

When migrating to a new system, you must change or update many job attributes. The

DBUPDATE tool lets you perform these changes and updates in bulk rather than

having to manually update each instance of each attribute.

DBUPDATE is a Pathway application that updates default-set details, job definitions,

and attachment-sets. Through DBUPDATE you can change these attributes of default

set details and job definitions:

•

System name

•

Executor program

•

Infile

•

Outfile

•

Volume

DBUPDATE also updates these attributes of attachment sets:

•

Node name

•

Volume name

Installing DBUPDATE

Automated DBUPDATE installation files are shipped in the NetBatch-Plus DSV

(T9189ABG or later). The installation macro for DBUPDATE is similar to the macro for

NetBatch-Plus. This procedure assumes you already installed NetBatch-Plus so the

DBUPDATE subvolume is already on your system.

This procedure includes example entries for prompts. Use your own system

information, not necessarily these example entries. Options in brackets ( [ ] ) are

defaults. If no options are displayed in brackets, you must enter a value. You cannot

skip any step.

1. In the ZNBPLUS subvolume, run the DBUPDATE installation macro:

> RUN DINSTALL

The installation macro displays:

NetBatch-Plus:DBUPDATE Tool T9189D48 - (19APR2002^ABG)

Created $volume.DBUPDATE.DINSTLOG

Please enter information at the following prompts.
