Hi Benoit, you should take a look at the following documentation http://www.sapdb.org/7.4/pdf/migration73_74eng.pdf
If you want to migrate your database from 7.3 to 7.4 via restore data you should create a full database backup in db_state cold, but pay attention! Before you start the cold backup you have to call in db_state cold: dbmcli -d <...> -u <...>,<...> util_execute migrate After calling this command you have the start your backup without(!) changing the db_state. This is very important, because the migrate command will set a flag in the restart record which will be reseted by the next restart. The 7.3 database backup could be only restored if the restart record of the backup contains the migrate flag, otherwise you get the error code -111 and the output in the knldiag file.
