Copying Data for a Single System Code

Use this procedure to copy data for a single system code to a new product line.

  1. Log in to the Lawson Environment containing the data for a system code you want to copy.
  2. Export the data to a dump file. At the command line, specify this information:

    expsysdb -s sourcedataarea syscode.data syscode

  3. If the product line you will be copying data to is on a different machine, copy the dump file to that machine.
  4. Log in to the Lawson Environment you want to copy data to.
  5. Import the data from the dump file into the new product line. At the command line, specify this information:

    impexp [-a|-f] destinationdataarea syscode.data

    Note:  Use the -f parameter. It is for use with all relational databases.
