Hi Guys,

To overcome the AOL issue, a few years ago, I was forces to change the blob extensions to
something other than .BLB.

The problem is that I cannot Migrate the data since the Migrator wants .BLB.  Is there
there a property, method, where I can tell the Migrator that the BLOB file extension is
.HEBLB for instance?

Many thanks,
Pierre

If you're intending to do it in code then skimming the source I can't spot one (might be there and I missed it) but why not simply rename the files before migration and back afterwards. Its not as though they can be in use during the migration.

Pierre,

all you have to do is put appropriate settings in EDBsrvr.ini.

I use following settings (I prefer shorter extensions):

[SERVER_SECTION]
Configuration Folder=C:\kresEDB\Edb
Configuration Name=EDBConfig
Configuration File Extension=.cfg
Catalog Name=EDB
Catalog Files Extension=.cat
Lock Files Extension=.lck
Log File Extension=.log
Backup Files Extension=.bkp
Update Files Extension=.upd
Table Files Extension=.edt
Table Index Files Extension=.edx
Table BLOB Files Extension=.elo
Table Publish Files Extension=.pbl
Server Name=EDBserver
Server Address=127.0.0.1
Server Port=12010
remoteHost=
ConfigPath=\kresEDB\EDB
CatalogName=EDB
BackupExtension=.bkp
CatalogExtension=.cat
ConfigExtension=.cfg
TableExtension=.edt
TableIndexExtension=.edx
TableBlobExtension=.elo
LockExtension=.lck
LogExtension=.log
TablePublishExtension=.pbl
UpdateExtension=.upd

Just set extensions you would like to have and you have the job done

Pierre,

I forgot to add the code to set EDBsrvr.ini to new extensions (as I
mentioned in previous post I like shorter extensions):

 ini := TIniFile.Create(<here put your directory where you have
EDBsrvr.exe>);
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'Server Name',   'EDBserver');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'Server Address', ipAddress.Text);
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'Server Port',    portEDB);
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'remoteHost',     remoteHost.Text);
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'ConfigPath',    <here put your
directory where you have EDBsrvr.exe - without drive letter>);
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'CatalogName',          'EDB');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'BackupExtension',      '.bkp');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'CatalogExtension',     '.cat');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'ConfigExtension',      '.cfg');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'TableExtension',       '.edt');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'TableIndexExtension',  '.edx');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'TableBlobExtension',   '.elo');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'LockExtension',        '.lck');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'LogExtension',         '.log');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'TablePublishExtension','.pbl');
 ini.WriteString('SERVER_SECTION', 'UpdateExtension',      '.upd');
 ini.Free;

Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated...

Kind regards,
Pierre

Iztok,

<< all you have to do is put appropriate settings in EDBsrvr.ini. >>

Pierre's problem is the file extensions on the DBISAM side, not the
ElevateDB side.
