Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ODBC

Upgrading from one data source version to another

Depending on the current version of your ODBC data source, you might need to upgrade it to a more recent version that is supported by the DataServer for ODBC. (For data-source version requirements, see the Release Notes or the OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration .) Note that there is no path for upgrading from an earlier version of your ODBC data source through the DataServer.

To upgrade from an earlier version of your ODBC data source:
  1. Upgrade the earlier version of your data source to a newer version. See the documentation for your data source for instructions.

  2. Using the Data Admin Dump utility, dump a data definition (.df) file from the schema holder you used to access the ODBC data source.

  3. Create a new empty OpenEdge database.

  4. Using the Data Admin Load utility, load the .df file into the empty OpenEdge database. This results in a new schema holder for your data source.

  5. Recompile your Progress 4GL r-code against the new schema holder.
