    EMPUPGRD(1)                                                        EMPUPGRD(1)

    NAME
           empupgrd  -  upgrades  the  databases created by the earlier release of
           Empress to be at least compatible to Version 8.62.

    SYNOPSIS
           empupgrd  [-f] database

    DESCRIPTION
           Empupgrd enbles Empress Version 8.62 to access databases that are  cre-
           ated with the earlier release of Empress.  This command will not enable
           the new features of the Version 8.62.  It simply  makes  the  databases
           compatible  to allow Version 8.62 Empress to access the data.  In order
           to use the new features, you need to use the command empcnvt.

           Once the database is upgraded, only Empress Version 8.62 can access the
           database.  You  are recommanded to back up the database prior executing
           this command.

           -f   force mode. Do it without prompting user.  You must ensure no  one
                     is accessing the database.

    FILES
           EMPRESS database files

    NOTES
           If  the  upgrade fails for any reason, the database will be in unstable

           utility.

           Before running this  utility, the user must do the following:

                     Back  up  the database before upgrading it since the database

                     Disable the recovery  log  by  editing  the  tabzero  of  the
                     database.   After  the  upgrade,  the  user  can create a new
                     recovery log file and enable the recovery log again.

                     Disable the  audit  trail  by  editing  the  tabzero  of  the

                     Resolve all transactions on the database.
