You must perform each of the following actions before and after upgrading to JADE release 7.1.
Proceed to the next step only when all errors reported in the current step have been resolved.
On your current system before upgrading to JADE 7.1, perform each of the following actions.
Perform a physical certify operation using the JADE Database Utility (jdbutil.exe or jdbutilb.exe), to ensure that the system is structurally sound.
Perform a meta logical certify operation, to ensure that the meta model is clean.
Perform a logical certify operation, to ensure that the user data is referentially correct.
If your database has partitioned database files, ensure that any offline partitions are brought online.
Use the JADE Database utility to take a full backup of your existing JADE 7.0 or JADE 6.3 database.
If the JadeReportWriterSchema has been installed, you must extract the data and then delete the schema before upgrading; that is:
In the JADE Report Configuration application, select the Unload All command from the View menu to unload all of your report data to a .rwa file. In the File Name text box of the Unload All dialog, specify the name and location of the file to which you want to extract all of your report writer data; for example:
d:\jade\rpts\alldata.rwa
Alternatively, you can use the executeMethod in the batch JADE Load utility to extract all reports, as shown in the following example.
jadloadb path=d:\jade\system ini=d:\jade\myjade.ini schema=JadeReportWriterSchema executeSchema=JadeReportWriterSchema executeClass=JadeReportWriterGlobal executeMethod=unloadAllToFile executeParam=d:\jade\rpts\alldata.rwa
Delete the JadeReportWriterSchema schema by using the Remove command in the Schema menu of the JADE development environment or by using the deleteSchema parameter in the batch JADE Load utility; for example:
jadloadb path=d:\jade\system ini=d:\jade\myjade.ini deleteSchema=JadeReportWriterSchema
In JADE 7.1 immediately after your upgrade from an earlier release, perform each of the following actions.
Perform a physical certify operation using the JADE Database Utility (jdbutil.exe or jdbutilb.exe), to ensure that the system is structurally sound.
Perform a meta logical certify operation, to ensure that the meta model is clean.
Perform a logical certify operation, to ensure that the user data is referentially correct.
If the JadeReportWriterSchema is required, reload the 7.1 JadeReportWriterSchema and then reload the reports and data extracted in step 1.f of this instruction, by using one of the following actions.
In the JADE Report Configuration application, select the Load All command from the View menu to load all report data from your extracted .rwa file.
In the File Name text box of the Load All dialog, specify the name and location of the report data extract file you want to load; for example:
d:\jade\rpts\alldata.rwa
Use the reportLoadAllFile parameter in the batch load utility to specify the fully qualified name of a single unload (extract) file that contains all JADE Report Writer view, folder, system option, user, and report definitions that you want to load, as shown in the following example.
jadloadb path=d:\jade\system reportLoadAllFile=d:\jade\rpts\alldata.rwa ini=d:\jade\myjade.ini
Use the JADE Database utility to take a full backup of your JADE 7.1 database.
