Incorporating modifications you made to the database
To incorporate modifications you made to the database:
1. Use the old dump procedure to dump the data in the existing database. (Note that dumping and reloading a large database might take days, depending on the database size.)
Note: You can use the binary dump and load to reduce this time dramatically. See the section on PROUTIL in OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration for more information on binary dump and load.
2. Make a copy of the new basic database.
3. Use the new load procedure to load the old database data into the new database. You must ensure that the new load procedure is prepared to accept data in the format and order dumped by the old dump procedures.
