I am brand new to the OpenEdge database platform and so far am really struggling. I have a client who has given me a backup of his database (a single .bak file) which was taken from OpenEdge v10. I only have a OpenEdge v11 database server.
We do not own OpenEdge or anything, so as far as I am aware getting my hands on v10 is probably impossible. Our client just wants me to poke around in the database to see what I can find, so I'm not prepared to put too much money into this.
When I try to do the restore, I get:
C:\Progress\OpenEdge\bin>prorest.bat E:\Progress\ServicePro\ServicePro "E:\Progress\svcpro_l.bak"
OpenEdge Release 11.3 as of Wed Jul 17 16:46:26 EDT 2013
Start of extending target DB to needed size... (9432)
Version number mismatch, backup has 4246, database has 4269. (16691)
Restore failed. (1618)
!!! ERROR - Database restore utility FAILED !!! (8564)
I have searched as much as I can and found this KB article, but it seems to not apply to restoring a database, rather a copied database.
How can I restore a Progress OpenEdge database backup that was taken from v10 into v11?
