ownership of the project catalog files to the new owner. You can also use FUP to
change the security attributes of the project catalog files.
You should use FUP GIVE command to give the project catalog to the new owner
before the new owner cold starts the project. When you cool start a project, the
security and ownership is not read and the project retains its previous settings. If you
cold start the project all new attributes such as the ownership and security are read.
To move the project's catalog files, use the IMPORT and EXPORT commands.
CONVERT
Converts one or more projects from the previous version of the Pathmaker
product to the current one. Both the previous and current version of the
Pathmaker product must reside on the same system, and you must own the
project to be converted.
Note This command often requires significant execution time. It is therefore recommended that you not
execute CONVERT during periods of peak system usage.
Before converting a project, stop it with the DOWN command. Use the previous
version of PMPROJECT:
PMPROJECT/RELEASE previous-release / DOWN project-name
After converting the project, cold start it to bring it up on the new Pathmaker
version:
PMPROJECT START project-name COLD
Converting more than one earlier version of Pathmaker to a new version requires
two conversion steps. For example, to convert C00 and C30 projects to D20, you
first use the C30 version of PMPROJECT to convert the C00 projects to C30, and
then use the D20 version of PMPROJECT to convert them to D20.
PMPROJECT converts project files without moving them, but the contents of some
files might be modified. PMPROJECT regenerates the project’s Pathway
configuration source file (T9154CFG) so references to the Pathmaker version refer
to the new version of the Pathmaker product.
When you convert a project, PMPROJECT deletes it from the project list of the
earlier version of the Pathmaker product, and adds it to the project list of the
current version of the Pathmaker product. The name of the project being converted
cannot already exist in the release to which it is being converted.
DELETE
Deletes the specified project from the list of projects for this installation of the
Pathmaker product. NonStop SQL catalogs used by the project and databases
created for generated applications are not affected by the DELETE command. To
delete a project, you must own the project or use the SUPER.SUPER user ID.
