Topic:
How to upgrade an IESX 10px project to GeoFrame at the command line.

Description:
     

Solution:
1.) Launch a GeoFrame Xterm from GeoNet.

2.) Type the following at the UNIX prompt:
	
	upgrade_10_to_11   [options]

where:
    project_name = name of the project
    password = password of the project

options:
    -tmpdir 
	Defines the location of the intermediate file to use when starting or 
	resuming an upgrade.
	Note: Seismic bulk data is NOT stored in the tmpdir.
    -continue_on_bad_data
	By default the upgrader stops at Stage 2 if "BAD DATA" is detected.
	Note: Use this option to force the upgrader to skip over "BAD DATA"
	and load the remainder of the data.
    -resume
	Restarts the upgrader at the beginning of Stage 4.
	Note: If the upgrader fails before Stage 4 do not use this option.
    -debug
	By default, the output log is an abbreviated listing of the upgraded 
	data items in a project.
	Note: To expand the detail in the log file, use this option.
    -rename 
	Changes the IESX 10p1-2/GeoFrame 3.x project name, the log file, 
	the tmp file to the new project name, respectively.
	Note: If the project is RENAMED the password will not be modified.	
    -unshare
	Causes any shared references to be stripped out of the project 
	before the upgrade proceeds.
	Note: If the "-unshare" option has been selected, you may get
	the following warning messages:
		"WARNING: Unable to unshare from PROJECTNAME
		Could not initialize the project. Do not ABORT upgrade!!"
	This is normal and you should simply let the upgrader continue.
    -reset_revision
	This option is used to reset the IESX Revision level to a 10p1-2
	project.
	Note: This option is ONLY needed if the upgrader fails and could
	not reset the revision during a normal termination of the upgrader.
	Note: Use with the "-resume" option after Stage 4.
    -help
	Prints the command syntax and lists available options for the upgrader.
    -ellipsoid 
	This option is used to select a replacement projection ellipsoid.  
	When a particular code is selected, the values for ECC_SQUARED,
	INV_FLATTENING, and SEMI_MAJOR_AXIS are tabulated in the
	Ellipsoid Codes Table.
	Note: Only certain IESX 10p1-2 "User-Defined" Spheroids will 
	upgrade.

The upgrader will run through the various stages of upgrade and output 
a time stamped upgrade log into your user directory. This log will show 
any problems in the upgrade process if they happen.
