Hi all,
I am in ASE 12.5.1 on Linux environment.
We are haveing production on Solaris.
I dump the data from production and trying to load in Linux
I am getting following error
load database prodmaint

3> go
Backup Server session id is: 14. Use this value when
executing the
'sp_volchanged' system stored procedure after fulfilling any
volume change
request from the Backup Server.

Dumping and loading between platforms (here you are trying to go from
Solaris to Linux) isn't supported. There are cases where it may work
despite not being supported, but it requires the two platforms to
be the same endian bit order. Solaris Sparc is big-endian while
Linux x86 is little-endian, so it for sure doesn't work. (Might
work on Solaris x86 to Linux x86 but again, would not be supported).

This is documented under the "LOAD DATABASE" command in the
Reference Manual: "You cannot load a dump that was made on a
different platform."
