Here's more information: I am using universe and ran fnuxi (transferring in binary mode is a given). I have also tried removing the file header with no joy. I've tried to rebuild the header, but the partfiles were "damaged." It could be because the algorithm may have been different from one system to the other when trying to rebuild. Even so, is there a quicker way of repairing the file headers so they can be rebuild or created again?

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.
