I’m looking into the challenges of moving a Progress 9.04 into  SQL - 9.05

Are there ‘easy’ scripts that can move the data into SQL and upgrade the dB at same time or would I need to convert in-place (9.04), then run an upgrade to 9.05?

If anyone has scripts that can help, I would welcome them.

Also, I hear E10 with have a converter/upgrade tools that will move older progress version into E10-SQL   does anyone know anything about this and if so, would that have the option to move to E9.05-SQL too?

 

Thanks

I’m almost certain that as far as things go with Epicor moving from PG to SQL in E905 or earlier is completely unsupported unless Epicor Professional Services assists with the process.

 

If those ramblings of E10 are true, it might be worth an ask to your CAM to see if they can confirm that that type of migration is supported that easily.

Epicor will migrate your database for a fixed cost. Each pass is 1500.

What exactly is a 'pass'?  Is that the conversion of the entire DB from Progress to SQL?

Having done several of these before, don’t do the move and upgrade at the same time.

 

Do the upgrade, then do the move once the upgrade is taken care of and live in the system, it makes it easier for trouble shooting problems so you know whether it’s an SQL issue, or it’s an upgrade issue.

HI Motty,

An interesting post, I thought all the Wind River companies (and ex) were all using SQL Server, none were on Progress ?.

Thanks.

Clive.

We are looking to do something very similar for XL connect users.  We are trying to avoid using Sonic at all costs after hearing all the stories.  


The tool we are looking at is http://www.ispirer.com/products/progress-to-sql-server-migration 


They offer a one month trial version, and if you look at their top testimonial you will see why we consider this to be a valid product.
