Hi,
We are currently running an application using Progress v8.3 on HP-UX 10.20. Our
clients run locally, and we use Report Builder on Windows NT 4.0 for our reports.
My dilemma is I have a user who would like to design some reports using Report Builder. However, she is connected to the HP server through a 56k frame relay connection. This connection does not seem fast enough to design and test reports.
My idea was to make a static copy of the Progress database, ship it to her on a CD, and have her use that database file directly when designing and testing new reports. Unfortunately, I found merely moving the database file over will not work as Report Builder will not connect directly to an HP-UX made database under Windows NT. So somehow I have to convert my copy of the HP-made database into a Windows NT compatible one.
If I could I would just dump the database on the HP server, move the data files over to an NT box, and reload the data into a new database on the NT machine. However, our Client Software for Windows NT has only a run-time licence so, while I can create a new
database under NT, I cannot load any data into it.
Is there some other way to port the database over? Or is my only hope to pay $1600 dollars for the Developer's license for NT just so I can load the data files into
an NT database?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
