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.

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

Set up an FTP site on the internet.

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?
