Hi Rob. We recently upgraded from 9.1e to 11.3 but staying on a windows platform with a shift from 32 to 64 bit being the key difference. Would a shift to 11.3 rather than 10.2 B be possible for you? The impression I got was the issues would roughly be similar, hence we made the double jump. In terms of type II, we asked Progress consulting in to do the table-to-storage area mapping and we were supplied sample scripts for running parallel D & L. I had to fiddle a little with the "convert 9 to 10 to 11" script that comes with OE11 but got it working. The D&L was "seriously" quick compared to the same process in 9.1e + 32 bit server. We had a few hiccups: (1) we had to hard code the ip address into the server as the OE11 services grabbed a default IP value before the server had been assigned its IP by the network so the DBMAN and ABMAN wouldn't start/stop the databases etc (nameserver on a different port?) while OpenEdge Explorer did [sorry I'm a bit hazy on the details]. (2) We had issues with appservers hanging. We changed the port ranges inherited from 9.1e to keep the database and appserver broker & server ranges separate. (3) Nearly all the rest of the headaches were the result of tidying up the code, connection files, accommodating 48 windows 7 uses and '1' XP user, and trying to be too clever by using a remote application server as a single client machine on a flaky virtual environment (we may yet look at Citrix in the future). Best of luck. Guy
