Execute the Conversion Process
Important: The conversion-pre-ee-upgrade process executes the database-qaddb-rebuild and database-qadadm-rebuild processes, which delete and re-create the qaddb and qadadm databases. Any data in your EE databases will be deleted during this process.
The conversion is started with the following yab command:
> yab conversion-pre-ee-upgrade
The conversion proceeds until it completes or an error occurs. No further input is required until the conversion ends.
The conversion can be monitored using the following log files:
> ../<application-directory>/logs/yab.log
> ../<application directory>/logs/conversion.log
Once the conversion is complete, review the log files to ensure there were no errors reported. See
Log Files for information about log files.
Note: Conversions are complex processes that can terminate prematurely when data-related errors are encountered. If the conversion terminates prematurely, determine the root cause of the failure and correct it in the source environment. Then restart the conversion from the beginning or the conversion snapshot.
Note: QAD recommends that you take a conversion snapshot during the conversion execution. See
Snapshots on
here for more details on executing a conversion and taking conversion snapshots.
