Can I leverage Db replication to help keep downtime to a minimum during system migration? ...looking for a sanity check here.
Im in the process of migrating a companys legacy enterprise system to new hardware and current version(s) of IDS and 4gl.
The company wants to relocate the new server to a facility in another state before it goes live.
The servers currently reside in the same facility.
Once the new server is in place/sync, the old server will be taken off-line.
(I know there are other steps here but Im looking for a general sanity check)
Im hoping for a little more sophistication rather than just shipping/transmitting backup data to the new server and reloading .
The environment is the classic IDS/4gl legacy set up running on an IBM/AIX platform.
The current production server is running Aix 5.3, IDS 10, 4gl 7.32
The new server is running Aix 6.1, IDS 11.7, 4gl 7.50.
Thanks in advance for your insight.
