Applying the Patch Release

  • RMS 16.0 has been installed.

  • ReSA 16.0 has been installed.

Before applying the new files over your code:

  • 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.

  • 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. See defect reports for details.

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.

In the same folder, the file named DEFECT MODULE XREF RMS 16.0.2.1.XLS lists every defect number and the modules and scripts that are included in the patch.
