There is an outstanding issue with convidx with a heavily overflowed index file. Fortunately you can delete the index before migrating and re-create and rebuild in on the new box.
I don't know of any problems with convdata or convcode. Are you sure the technique you used to move your files kept them intact? For instance - if you used ftp and did not use binary mode, you would have problems. Of course the database on the source system would need to be paused or down - to be sure the files are in good state before moving them. Wally Terhune U2 Support Architect Rocket Software 4700 S.

We'll be moving from unidata 7.1.8 on Solaris 9 to Unidata 7.2.x on RedHat Enterprise. At this point I'm just playing but would like advice on preferred ways to migrate tables from Solaris to RedHat. I tried just moving them and running the usual convdata, convidx and convcode, but it's not happy about high byte order vs low byte order. At this point, I'm assuming it's going to have to be an account save/restore but I'm open to any advice having never gone down this road before.
