Existing V8 Users
This information is intended as a quick reference to demonstrate how easy it is to move from previous versions of c‑tree database technology to the latest c‑treeACE. Because c‑treeACE is a flexible tool that has enjoyed great longevity, it is impossible to anticipate every situation that will be encountered when upgrading. As always, our outstanding engineering team is ready to assist at every opportunity. Feel free to contact your nearest FairCom office for advice and guidance before migrating your application. We have helped successfully migrate many original c‑tree applications to our very latest versions, sometimes within minutes.
V8 introduced Memory Files, Queues and Notification, and performance monitoring tools.
- Cleanly shut down any existing V8 Servers and remove remaining transaction logs. V9 introduces a new transaction log format.
- Store a copy of the V8 dynamic dump restore utility (ctrdmp) with any remaining backup files in case of future recovery. Consider validating a fresh V9 dump and restore and review your backup procedures at this time.
