Upgrade all SleepyCat databases

The format of all SleepyCat databases has changed since 6.0, including the queue cache database and the popstore / MessageStore user database (these were CRDB databases in 5.2 and earlier).

If you are upgrading from PMDF 6.0 or earlier, you MUST convert or rebuild all of these databases, otherwise PMDF will not work correctly.

Note

The steps to convert the databases have been automated in a program called \pmdf\bin\upgrade_all_dbs.exe.

See the installation guide Post-Installation Tasks For Upgrades section for a list of tasks which must be completed. Steps 1-4 in Install Guide section 1.5 can be accomplished by running \pmdf\bin\upgrade_all_dbs.exe. Due to time constraints it was not possible to document the new procedure in the Installation Guide for this release. This will be remedied in an upcoming release.
