Susan, I don't know about "clever", but we wrote two programs, TAPE.DUMP and TAPE.LOAD, to dump any named, or all, dict and/or data files in an account from any mv database to any other mv database.
The T-DUMP HEADER contains the file size parameters, and the TAPE.LOAD program will create the new file before it loads it if it does not exist. To date, we have tested it successfully *from* AP, mvBase and R91, *to* Universe/NT. We have jBASE in house and will be glad to configure it *from* jBASE if that will help. In case there is no 1/4-inch cartridge tape drive installed on either the source or target machine, we have an external Tandberg QIC tape drive and two external scsi controllers (one with a USB connector and one with a PC card and cable connector). These are easy to install and provide us a portable and compatible tape interface. I haven't taken any timed measurements, but T-DUMPS and T-LOADS seem to go about a fast as ACCOUNT-SAVEs, which is a lot faster than terminal-emulator-based file transfers. Please contact me if you would like more detailed information on these programs. hth, Dave Dave Taylor President Sysmark Information Systems, Inc. 49 Aspen Way Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 800-SYSMARK (800-797-6275) (O) 310-544-1974 (P) 800-339-1497 (F) 310-377-3550 Your Source for Integrated EDI Translation and DataSync Integration www.sysmarkinfo.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Joslyn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 26, 2005 5:45 AM Subject: [U2] Fast file transfers > Greetings, > > Anyone come up with a really clever way to move a great deal of data from > one machine to another (completely different Multivalue Platforms; jbase -> > Universe) all within the space of a weekend? > > We've tried some of the telnet programs that have multivalue specific file > transfers ... take too long.
