 2. Create within Installation Control:
5) Companies: Company "o73", starting up in application OOX/73. (That's the letter "O", followed by the digits "73".)
6) Applications: Applications OOX/73, OOY/73, and OOZ/73 .

7) Company/Appl: Company/Application pairs o73/OOx, o73/OOy, and o73/OOx.

3. From the SPEED II main menu, 4) Database Mgmt., run "3) Create Files" for Company="o73", Application={blank}. (This gives all applications for the current company.)

7. If you are converting multiple applications, you may want to rename this library to something like "$#vvaaaX" (where aaa/vv is your appl/version#).

<		8. Convey these libraries from your VS to your APPX Server. When moving the files, make sure you move them in "binary" (as opposed to "text") mode, as APPX won't properly import "text" mode transferred files, which usually have truncated trailing spaces. (Note: if you use FTP to transfer files through a TCP/IP controller on the VS directly to your APPX server, use "ASCII" mode instead of "binary".) Place the transported export files into $APPXPATH/vv/aaa/Portdata. Make sure they do not have any suffixes on the file names.

16. Convey "$cccaaaX" from the VS to the Unix library $APPXPATH/ddd/aaa/Portdata. ('ddd' stands for "Database", which is the APPX equivalent to a SPEED II "Company".).
