Re: Does anyone know if I can run a command on a UNIX system to export data from a progress database?

Running Progress exports manually at regular intervals sounds like a pain.
How long would you have to keep that going?

What do you think of the suggestion to use a JDBC driver to pull data from
Progress? You might use that from an IBM i batch process.

I can build progress exports to a .csv or .txt file on the UNIX system.

The system is running an old version of progress.

I want to dump the files on a regular basis and import them into tables on
the IBM I. I have setup FTP to do this and it works well but I have to run
the exports manually.

What I would like to do, is from the FTP script, run the progress results
export features to build the export files and then pull the files onto the
IBM I. Has anyone done or does any have suggestions on how to do this?

TIA.
