Applying the Patch Release
Before applying the RMS 15.0.3.1
patch release, be sure that:
n
RMS 15.0 has
been installed.
Before applying the new files
over your code:
n
Note whether
any modules have been customized. If so, the customizations must be reapplied
to the new version of the module, or the fix may need to be applied to the
custom version of the code.
n
Copy the
original files to a different directory before you copy over them, in case you
need to refer to them at a later date.
Running Scripts
Back up data before running
any script, because the scripts provided do not
preserve data.
Check with your database
administrator to determine whether your database should be analyzed after a
script is run. In many cases, an analysis of the database is necessary to take
advantage of new or modified indexes intended to improve performance of the
application.
