pdvrup (Upgrade HiRDB version)

Function

The pdvrup command maintains the master directory RDAREA and data dictionary RDAREAs when the HiRDB version has been upgraded in order to make the database conform to the new version.

You can execute this command only when pd_auto_vrup=N is specified in the system definitions. If you have specified pd_auto_vrup=Y, HiRDB automatically executes the pdvrup command.

Executor

Option

None

Rules

  1. The pdvrup command is executed when HiRDB is started after a new HiRDB version has been installed (by executing the pdsetup command). If pd_auto_vrup=N is specified in the system definitions, the system issues a message requesting an entry of the pdvrup command. An attempt to execute this command at any other time results in an error. For details about how to upgrade, see the HiRDB Version 8 Installation and Design Guide.
  2. The pdvrup command must be executed at the server machine containing the single server or the server machine where the system manager is located.
  3. UAPs and utilities cannot be executed during execution of the pdvrup command.

Note

The execution results of the pdvrup command can be confirmed by the return code after the command has executed and by whether or not there are any error messages. A return code of 0 for this command indicates normal termination; a return value of 4 indicates that the upgrade terminated normally (in this case, restart HiRDB); a return value of 12 indicates abnormal termination.
