View Full Version : Potential data migaration problem

Does anyone have any experience of a potential problem I have been recently told about when migrating data from Continuum to V-Series.

As I understand it the problem has to do with a binary incompatibility between the HP and Intel processors.

When porting programs written in 'C' that have previously been compiled and bound on the Continuum. Once migrated to the V-Series these programs have to be compiled and bound there too. Is there a potential problem with 'byte order' specifically 'high byte/low byte'?

If anybody has experience of migrating programs written in 'C' between Continuum and V-Series and has encountered a problem similar to the above or recognises the issue, I would be interested to hear your comments, solutions, or workarounds.

Thanks.

Hi Ruditec,

The data formats between Stratus Continuum VOS systems and V-Series systems are identical. You can use the VOS "save" command to save your files on Continuum, and then use "restore" to restore the files on V-Series. Both platforms use a big-endian data format. So you have nothing to worry about.
