I have re-located our BaanIVb2 instance to 2 new servers. On one server (a) as a matter of making sure everything is o.k I converted the RunTime (domain/tables) on all VRC's and everthing is fine.

On the second server (b) I run into problems such as errors saying the data defintion is not present (which it is - then I re-imported it again from my trusted server to make sure as it may have been corrupted). I also get errors saying the table does not exist....

I have spent a week on this.....I am now thinking of copying the "dict" directory from my "a" server (the one that the RDD worked) to my problem server "b".
I have also looked at the tools tables that hold the revelent info and if I dump and load the data from the "a" server to my "b" server for the following tables = This should result in the actual Runtime Data Dictionary being the same ?

1. ttaad400 – Indicators for conversion of runtime DD
2. ttaad500 – Conversion indicators
3. ttaad501 – Reconfiguration indicators
4. ttaad502 – Conversion parameters table def. / domains
5. ttaad503 – Reconfiguring Restart Data
6. ttaad504 – Reconfiguring Restart Data II
7. ttaad505 – Logged changes
8. ttadv400 – Domains (Runtime indicator is tracked for each domain)
9. ttadv420 – Table definitions
10. ttadv421 – Table indices
11. ttadv422 – Table fields
12. ttadv423 – Table child fields
13. ttadv428 – Table field relationships


Has anyone done this ?? or can point out anything I have missed ??

you have two app.-servers, and one database server ?
for finding table tabledef6.1 ist resp.,
for dd, srdd6.1 and file of pack. comb (fd...),
check the path
or is the $BSE-path different ?

our original server was a dev server (1 tier).
We now have 2 new servers (a,b). We will scrap the original server eventually.

The 2 new servers a and b have the exact same dir structure and are also 1tier.

Both a and b servers were "copied" from the original server.

The "a" server and its Baan instance is working fine as far as the runtime is concerned.

The "b" server has problems which I have gievn up trying to fix, so I would like to copy the runtime as in my original post.

I will also add the srdd_tab6.1 ,compnr6.1, tabledef6.1 files that are to be copied from the "a" server to the "b" server.

yes, if the os is the same, copy
everything, you can direct the licence6.1 also
to the old server
then restart stdd_init (rc.start_shm)
is the database also in the same path (oracle_home) ?
