When you convert a database server, several modifications make the format of the
databases incompatible with the older version. The onmode -b command modifies
data so that the earlier version of the database server can access it. In some cases
the format of the databases is compatible between versions and the onmode -b
command is not needed.
Tip: To see a list of all of the versions to which you can revert, run this command:
onmode -b
When you see the options that are available, choose the option that is closest to the
version that you want.
