You didn't say which U2 product, which makes all the difference in the world for this answer. So, because I know a bit of this on Universe, I'll target my answer at that DBMS.
My experience with distributed file transfers is that FTP is fine. HOWEVER, when the file is on the new system, you must run fnuxi on the file before doing anything else. Fnuxi clears the distributed parts out of the file header, thus making it a standard hashed file again. So, the main file has to be removed and then the file re-distributed. The Partfile algorithm is hard-coded in each file's header as is the absolute path to each partfile. HTH Karl <quote who="Sirulnick, Steve"> > I am migrating an old AIX server running U2 to RH Linux.
