Step 1: Load UVCS into UD6

Before performing this step ensure that you have:

• Installed Uniface, UD6 and your version control system with command line utility support
• Are very familiar with the use and administration of these tools
• Have setup the UD6 and Version Control system, assignment files etc as per your requirements (see how to: guides for more information)
• UD6 repository is initialised (using the joins file from the "Additional" directory)
• (optional step) Have loaded original (pre UVCS) copy of source code and checked-in to version control

Export UVCS from existing repository and Import into UD6 using specific UD6 settings. E.g: set the ASN file for the import to:

[ENTITIES]
*.uvcs $idf:.\sources\other\*.*

[DRIVER_SETTINGS]
USYS$UD6_PARAMS=nokeycheck,nouvers,noemptytrig,nocompstamp,notimestamp,forcedate 2001-03-02T09:00:00,xmlschema ie5, mmf binary font 51,notrx,xsl ie5,config .\settings, option pack d:\userdlls\tableau\7204\mhgfp140.dll

Ensure that the configuration files (joins, overflows etc) from UD6t 1.03.00 or higher are being used, and that the following configuration files from the "additional" directory have been copied into the configuration directory:

• renametags
• plsremove
• joins - NOTE: this replaces the previous copy of joins file.

Copy the UVCS sources into the UD6 repository:

idf /cpy idf:*.uvcs c:\tst_prod\reorder-uvcs_28_03_01.aaa

The UVCS entities are exported from Unfiace in the wrong order. Use Notepad or another text editor to move the following entities position in the TRX file:

• applications: put appl before aplfrm
• components: put groups before fields
• tables: put table before field and key
• Menus: put menu before item

idf /cpy c:\tst_prod\reorder-uvcs_28_03_01.aaa idf:

As the UVCS sources are imported, these assignment file settings and configuration files reformat the data to match the 'normal' Uniface dictionary data. The uvcs2cvs.exe program will then 'check in' these to the new version control.
