Special Upgrade Instructions when upgrading to APPX 5.4.2

1. The internal header of large files (FMS type 9) has changed in 5.4.2 (see bug http://bugtracker.appx.com/view_bug.jsp?bugid=3314). Release 5.4.2 will not be able to access large files created in a previous version until you run the recover process. From a command line, invoke APPX with the '-recover' flag as follows:

$ /appx -recover PROSPECT.dat PROSPECTNEW.dat
APPX Recover Utility:
              Input Filename = PROSPECT.dat
             Output Filename = PROSPECTNEW.dat
 
File Header Information:
           File Organization = 3 ( Fixed Length Records )
               Record Length = 698
            File offset size = 32 bits
              UnixIO Version = 2
   Freelist Starting Address = 0
         End of File Address = 6938
 
Recover Completion Information:
      Active Records Copied  = 9
     Deleted Records Removed = 0
    Overhead Records Removed = 0
           File Errors Found = 0
       New Eof Seek Location = 6938
  Space Allocation Reduction = 0 bytes
 
*** You MUST create a new '.key' file that matches your new '.dat' file!

After the new file is created, rename or delete the original file, rename or delete the associated key file, then run 'Create Files' to build a new key file. This must be done for every large format file on your system. Accessing an unconverted large file in 5.4.2 or higher will result in a 'Key Specification Mismatch' error.
