Delta df to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Incremental Schema Migration utility<br />

Delta df to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Incremental Schema Migration<br />

utility<br />

The Incremental Schema Migration utility allows you to migrate schema changes from<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> to a MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database. For example, in the process of developing an<br />

application in ABL that you will migrate to MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong>, you might want to make and test<br />

schema changes in the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> database that you want reflected in the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong><br />

database. The utility reads an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> delta.df file that has been created using the standard<br />

incremental dump procedure. and creates a delta.sql file that contains the <strong>SQL</strong> DDL <strong>for</strong><br />

making the changes and a delta.df file. You can then load the delta.df file into the schema<br />

holder. You can then apply the delta.sql file to the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database to complete the<br />

migration process.<br />

Note: You do not make schema changes directly in the schema holder, which must remain<br />

synchronized with the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> database. The utility uses the schema holder to<br />

determine what the MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> definitions are.<br />

To run the Incremental Schema Migration utility:<br />

1. From the <strong>Data</strong> Admin main menu, choose <strong>Data</strong><strong>Server</strong>s→ MS <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Server</strong> Utilities→<br />

Schema Migration Tools→ Generate Delta.sql <strong>OpenEdge</strong> to MSS. The following<br />

dialog box appears:<br />
