Conversion 10080 9.05.700

Thanks every one for your responses on this. After many tries to get this
functioning I received a different instruction document from support that
uses a .pf file to connect to the date base and like magic it works now.

Subject: [Vantage] Re: conversion 10080 9.05.700





We did the same thing, running 10080 after go live. We used our 32-bit admin
box, were told some of the financial conversion program will only run on
32-bit. Our database is large (100+ GB) so I had to do a clean reboot on the
server before kicking off the program. I know of others who had to run 6
month date ranges or ran out of resources. We are fortunate enough that I
could run a full fiscal year at a time without erring out.

I was on one of the earlier conversion utilities and we ran into a problem
with AP Invoices using progress reserved characters. I can't remember what
that exact error was - but there are a couple of fix programs you're
supposed to run before the 10080. I would check the documentation and make
sure you ran those.

I cannot get the 10080 utility to connect to the data base with getting
shared memory error on the 9.04 connection. I have lowered my blocks in db
buffer down to accommodate for my 8k data base blocks. Any ideas?



Thanks

I assume you are upgrading from 8.x to 9.05?

The best solution for this that I have found it to run conversion 10080
directly on the 9.04 version of the DB when you are in the 9.04 Upgrade
utility prior to running the 9.05 conversions.

You are correct on the 8.03 - 9.05 conversion. The problem is that it takes
too long to do the conversion at the 9.04 process so we are going to have to
convert the archive data after the go live. Have you been able to get this
to work in 9.05?

I haven't had the need to, all the DBs I have worked with so far have been
able to be converted over the go live weekend for the process, so we didn't
need to do that, but I am doing an initial testing upgrade from 8.03 to 9.05
for someone else today so I can check the steps, it's likely just a
procedural quirk that is needed to be done to get it to work correctly.

The Epicor tech that helped me with that problem had me keep lowering both the # blocks in db buffer and the # lock table entries until I hit values low enough to allow me to connect. The # lock table entries needs to be divisible by 8192. I was running the conversion on an OLD server and lowered the # blocks in db buffer to 20000 and # lock table entries to 81920 which allowed me to connect. Each time I ran it I tried bumping up the numbers a little bit, I think I settled on 60000 for # blocks in db buffer and 81920 for the # lock table entries. The promon utility and documentation helped when I was trying to find optimal values.

I did this conversion program the week after our go-live, and think I
had to run it from my PC (32-bit progress) instead of the server
(64-bit). I remember copying the database to my PC's hard disk and
connecting directly to it - you do not need the 9.04 app servers
running.



Brian.
