SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 | Which Database is this?

UNIX SCO
1

Hello,

We recently took over a client running SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 and are modernizing the application (read: rebuilding from scratch).

I'm tasked with exploring the database models and possible routes of migration. However, the best I could achieve was finding a bunch of ***vol folders and .dat files within them.

The path to said files is /data/0.device/[INSERT_FOLDER_NAME_ENDING_IN_VOL]/x.dat

I've pulled them off the server and tried opening in every piece of software known to me; however, I had no luck.

Would someone be able to recognize this structure and tell me what the heck is going on and how do I go about it? This technology existed before I was even planned for, so you can understand the confusion. I've dealt with IBM DB2 before, and although it was absolute hell, I could at least connect to it and explore the tables.

Thanks!

@lutth , welcome,

supply the output from file <filename> (presume it'll be something bland like 'data' )

suggest you try the strings command and see what it spits out strings <filename>
man strings for documentation.
do the same using the magic <filename> see if it gives any hints

have you searched the various /bin,/sbin , /usr/bin ... for potential binaries that might give hints
search logfiles (systemwide ....) - on the original system (of course) :smiley:

post sample outputs and the team may respond with potential answers etc.

happy sleuthing.

Greetings and welcome on board!

Looking at the path:

 /data/0.device/[INSERT_FOLDER_NAME_ENDING_IN_VOL]/x.dat

brings back to my memory some bad souvenirs...
can you give us more information on the path? Are there many /data/X.devices/ and what is actually the subdirs names? before x.dat

Just to see if my paranoia is fooling me, or I can start to see an explanation, to save time, have you a little idea of what you are looking for? do you know what the end user uses to connect and work with the server ( it is a server? because if not I am in the wrong...)
Do you know for how long it was in production and mostly where did it come from ( bad luck: a port from mainframe of Dinausore age...)

Yep, ran file apchecks.dat and got apchecks.dat: data :')

strings apchecks.dat gives back nothing

magic apchecks.dat returns ksh: magic: cannot execute

Yes, I've found traces of Berkeley DB under /usr/bin, however when I tried running db_verify or db_dump on the files, it failed due do unknown file type.

ps -ef returns the following, I'm not sure if any of the processes can be recognized:

Hopefully, something here can help, I'd love to share one of the files but due to their sensitivity, and my inability to verify the contents, I'm afraid we're stuck with this for now :confused:

Hello! I can't say that I'm happy to be here yet, but hopefully that changes :grin:

There is only one (0.device) directory. Structure goes something like this:

  • /
  • [DEVELOPER_NAME]
    • 0.device
      • %sysvol
      • %tio
      • %update
      • bmmsback
      • bmmsvol
      • fmsback
      • fmsvol
      • oldhist
      • oldsys
      • sortvol
      • system
      • utilvol
    • devel
      • scripts
        • Files Listed Below
    • backup.arc.Z
    • laserfiles.tar
    • report.txt (which had just the volume usage data)
    • update.arc

That includes some of the files that are in there, however, what are they for and why are they there, I don't know.

Taking bmmsvol directory as a sample, there's .dat files and .lib files under it, not matching names or appearing to be related in any way (to me at least).

.lib files:

fas-gl.lib
bmms-so.lib
bmms-dw.lib
bmms-sa.lib
bmms-po.lib
bmms-ms.lib
fmap.lib
bmms-cs.lib
bmms-ui.lib

It is a server, essentially serving as an ERP and a POS system, it was in production for at least 25 years, and as far as the origin goes, all I was told is that the people that were maintaining the original software are retiring due to age and health issues. I have a picture of the POS interface (which had to go thru a WinXP VM, no idea why), and I know they have some sort of an interface somewhere where they can enter POs, APs, etc. I have no idea where, how, and why, and frankly, it appears they don't either.

I suggest you use the strings command on a datafile, and tell us what the output was as already suggested
Correction: I would have liked to see what file command says about the data file first...
You could also go and look in /etc/init/init.d and look what you find, specially in the current and previous level that you are in as if you are running a software, we hope it starts and stop with the machine halt and reboot automatically

I would guess

/versyss/bin/userserver
/versyss/bin/commadmin

is linked to the application, you also have running a printserver and a webserver, is the data result transferred to the webserver for display?

That actually gave me something, running strings userserver returns the following:

Appears as if some of these are SQL commands; now, how and where are they applied, and how could I get to the point where I can execute them? That's something I'd love to know

We are a bit out of phase between my replies ( I am not fluent in english anymore and its asking me a lot of time to put down my thoughts in English, and so you have posted meanwhile ...)

I am not sure to understand the structure:
Is it each user has a similar structure : /developper_name/0.device...
which puzzles me, why have binaries in /data ???

It only makes sense if the application was mono_user at the origin, and someone found a way to bypass the restrictions...

The picture is more worrying if you are in a true multi_user environment, because then /versyss/bin/commadmin would be a sort of transaction monitor...

10

No worries, it also took me a while to format those so replies are flying in faster than I can process at this point lol.

No, it's not for each user, user directories are basically empty, full pwd on those would be just /[DEVELOPER_NAME]/data/0.device/...

Worth mentioning is that the customer is also using root to access and use everything, there is multiple other users but :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

11

It is going to be quite challenging to get all to work without root privilege hehehe

12

Who cares about privileged access anyways, am I right? :joy:

14

Rather than looking at the data, look at the user(s) .profile to see how the application is started. Once you know the program, you should be able to figure out the language and file format.

I've been down that rabbit hole, but from what I can see, it's just setting up the interface :confused: I might be missing something though...

I tried digging into it, but it appears that their domain has lapsed and that the company that acquired them doesn't have much presence online.

This is MAS90. I had a customer in NJ that used this software, They also are no longer in business, however I do know the email address of two of the employees.

I'd appreciate if you could pass those over, hopefully they have some insight in what this is and how I could access the data files

Send me an email, I won't post email addresses. My contact info is in my profile.

If we're talking the original "MAS 90" and its bigger brother "MAS 200" software, it was/is an accounting and possibly ERP package that was renamed Sage 100. I am in the UK and many moons ago Sage was a UK company and its software was very widely used here.

Taking a quick look for Sage 100 I can see that support ends in 2024 and that there should be a few different data export tools available, e.g. to Excel, to CSV, etc, if it really is MAS 90.

Exporting it in anything other than print sounds really attractive. Would there be any way for me to actually confirm that this is MAS90?
