Chapter 5 Converting Code and Scripts

This chapter explains how to use the analysis tools to check 9.x source code, scripts, and text for compatibility with a 10.x system.

The tools are primarily intended to check for incompatible usage in code and scripts, but you can also run them on documentation files.

Before continuing with the tasks in this chapter, you need to understand something about the changes the tools help you provide for, specifically, changes between 9.x and 10.01 to:

Although you can run the tools on a 10.x system, this chapter assumes you will analyze and convert files on the 9.x system, then upgrade to 10.01 system. (This is the "Full Preparation" option described in Chapter 3 “Planning a System Upgrade ”.) The tools themselves assume they are running on a 9.0 or later system.

The tools are also useful outside the context of a 9.x-to-10.01 upgrade; use them whenever you need to move code and scripts from a 9.x to a 10.x system. Follow the guidelines under “Moving Files ” when recovering files from a 9.x to a 10.x system.

	CAUTION: If you are upgrading to 10.10: Although the tools will be of great help in preparing your code, scripts and text for the transition from 9.x, they will not catch changes to commands and libraries that have occurred since 10.01. You will need to check the Release Notes for HP-UX 10.10 for these.
