Anita 1. You can do this at the OS level in SOME circumstances -
UniVerse holds individual data files as separate operating system files. these can be copied directly from one machine to another provided they are the same operating system type and with the following restrictions: (you can get around them all, but you would need to know what you are doing). There are three types of data file structure used by UniVerse at the OS level: Directory Files (e.g. BP files) Hashed Data Files Dynamic File for directory files, as said earlier, the content can be copied directly. Hashed Data files are single O/S files. if you do a LISTF command, you can see the paths to each of the data files. These can be copied directly so long as no-one is using them at that moment, and so long as there are no indexes, or you will have to rebuild the indexes on the target machine. use LIST.INDEX filename ALL to see the indexes. Dynamic files are directories containing files called DATA.30 and OVER.30. These can't be copied safely without stopping UniVerse first. 2. As a backup The UniVerse backup commands are uvbackup and uvrestore. These can create a record-level backup to an O/S file that can be zipped and emailed. Check out the admin guide (pdf) to see how to use these two commands. They are the safest way to do this. 3. Using tools <ad - sort of> It's probably overkill unless you are doing this frequently, but you can use a tool like mvInstaller (www.brianleach.co.uk) to create a setup package that can be deployed on the target machine. It's windows based and simple to use. </ad> brian ya you got it right .I had worked prevoiusly in ORACLE , there to just get the table contents from one standalone instance to another stanalone instance what we do is create a script with " create table" and "insert into table " commands and send it through mail .The other person just runs the script and he/she gets table and its contents within the schema. Same way in Universe how do I copy the contents of a file from one instance to another.What are the files necessary to get the whole data of the files. The OS is Windows XP Thanks, Anita Allen Egerton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/30/2007 05:31 PM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject Re: [U2] FILE EXPORT Anita Panda wrote: > I think I was not clear in my question.Now i need to activities to be > done. > firstly,I have a universe instance on a different Machine located at USA > and the other in INDIA.

Open it in word. File; Save As xyz.txt in the BP directory change the file name I've been reading your questions, and I have a question of my own. Where is your area of expertise? It quite evidently isn't Universe, but it appears that it's not in general systems either. So, what can I use to draw analogies? -- Allen Egerton [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ForwardSourceID:NT0001531A =====-----=====-----===== Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.
