FlashNet MSSQL to SFS MySQL migration.

Converts the FlashNet MSSQL server tables which it uses into SFA MySQL tables.

Usage <-cu> <group_name> -S <changer>

Where:

-c <group_name> - Target and read a FlashNet group of volumes into SFA archive by reading all metadata

-v <volume name> - Updates the records of a single volume

-u <group_name> - Update a set of Flashnet volumes with correct Object ID's after SFA volumes have been cached

-S <changer no> specify which changer the group data should be inserted into

KLConvert

Kumulate (Oracle/Postgres) to SFS migration.

Converts Kumulate either Oracle or Postgres database entries from a highly complex structure of interlinked tables (some 400+) to the standard 19 tables of SFA.

SDConvert

StorageDNA XML to SFS MySQL migration.

Converts storage DNA indexes in the form of file-based XML indices into standard MySQL entries in the MySQL database.

dnaConvert v1.2.0 b171223 (c) 2023-24 SFS Media

-I <basedir> - Scan basedir for all sDNA entities

-C <basedir> - Clear the SFA database of all entries found in this <basedir>

-v Produces a more verbose output

Use the -F force parse option to continue without the archive.xml data file

DVConvert

Diva (Oracle) to SFS migration.

Converts Diva archive data stored in Oracle into the corresponding SFA entries. Diva archives are written in AXF and are also self-describing, so it is entirely possible to read the content of the database directly from the media itself. (This is also true of FlashNet media).

SMConvert

Oracle Stornext ( StorageManager ) is a proprietary format which presents media as an online filesystem. This conversion is still in progress.
