Does anyone know how to load a .df file in batch mode?

[clivejmorrison]

Hi,

I have a large number of databases to upgrage (70+) - in a small time window. I don't want to have to log into 70+ servers to apply an incremental df file manually ie, using the progress data administration tool, since this is very labourious. I have been looking into the Progress prodict.pl to see if I can write a wrapper to apply a df file using the existing progress code, but which can be run in via mbpro.

However, this is starting to look a bit tricky. So has anyone out there already solved this issue. If not, then I will just have to plod on and continue to write the wrapper to interface to the existing progress procedures to load the df file.

Any help would be appriciated.

Regards

Clive

$ pro dbname -p loaddf.p -param "dbname.df"

/* loaddf.p
*/

run prodict/load_df ( input sessionarameter ).

Thanks for the reply Tom,

I have implemented this today into my database deployment program and it works just as required.
