I didn't realize that pct would have all the dump/load options for data. I know that ABL compilation would require the schema, but not necessarily the data. Thanks for the pointer. This may be a good reason in itself to start learning pct. Thanks for pointing out the option of using pro2pro. I will look into that as well. I'm wondering if it can be purchased on a temporary basis (eg as a subscription) since we might not need it anymore after our migration is complete. Does anyone know if there is a trial download available for pro2pro, so I can investigate the feasibility of doing a full database migration using that product? Also, I'm curious if pro2pro does some type of initialization or "seeding" of the target database in some way (along with the installation of the long-term replication infrastructure). Pro2pro uses CDC internally once the database is upgraded, right? That is my understanding. (I think the database needs to be up to 11.7.x or so.) We already use our replication triggers so I'm not that keen on using a product that may compete for use of them.
