Hi,
in order to be able to painlessly switch from HFCS to Classic and back I'm trying to backup a HFCS directory by HCopyFile(..) and copy back these files to the HFCS Server. Using HCopyFile(...) to retrieve the files from the server works just fine, no problem at all. But. Putting those copied files back to the same server directory is a pain. There's no way because a few files are always "in use" though these files are closed by HClose(FileName) before a copy takes place. Any ideas?
BEWARE: using HBackup(YourConnection,"DataBaseName/*+System") will backup the database plus the vital server files correctly. But. It will NOT be able to restore anything of it! HFCS Control Center is unable to restore the backup! Therefore do not use the "System" switch! Backup the whole server directory from time to time.
BEWARE: the HFCS Control Center still cannot upload HF Classic files as advertised except the logical and the physical file names are identical AND the file extension of all files is .fic
