Configure the Conversion

QAD 2017 Enterprise Edition > Installation-Conversion > Conversion Guide > Conversion Execution > Configure the Conversion

The conversion-pre-ee-upgrade process requires you set one mandatory configuration property. This setting, conv.pre-ee.src-db.dir, must be defined in the configuration.properties file before executing the conversion. For example:

conv.pre-ee.src-db.dir=/dr01/srcdb/

Note: To avoid any lock table overflow errors, especially for large databases, you may need to increase the Lock Tables Entries value for the QADDB. It is recommended that you increase the locktableentries and apply the change as follows:

a Update configuration.properties:

dbserver.qaddb.locktableentries=327680

b Apply the change:

> yab reconfigure

Conversion Configuration


Properties	Default	Description
conv.pre-ee.src-db.dir		The directory where source QAD and Admin databases are located.
conv.pre-ee.src-db-qaddb.physicalname=mfgprod	mfgprod	The unqualified physical name of the source QADDB database.
conv.pre-ee.src-db-qadadm.physicalname=	admprod	The unqualified physical name of the source Admin database.

Note: The default physical names of the source databases are mfgprod and admprod. Use these default names when restoring the source databases to avoid having to override them in the configuration.properties file.
