I don't know how many DBs you have or what features you're using in PRO2... But we're currently doing a HPUX to Linux migration of our OpenEdge DBs 11.7.x DBs. We have a couple over 650GB; for those DBs we trialed PRO2 as a replication tool from HPUX to Linux since OpenEdge Replication (is it still called fathom?) won't work between those 2 OS. The feature we liked about PRO2 was it's buildload + record catchup; 650GB took about 46 hours in our environment but at the end we could just shutdown both down DBs and make the Linux the new production with very little downtime. We are yet to do this in production, but the trail worked well. Why can't PRO2 do all this upgrade work for you? setup new DB, on current Production using PRO2 point it at the new DB and kick off the bulkload + record catchup all in PRO2 app?
