  2. Upgrade the ALI HiPer BAM System (Celequest) to 3.7.2.0.326. For details, see Upgrading Celequest to 3.7.2.0.326.
  3. Upgrade the HiPer for Retail components. For details, see Upgrading the HiPer for Retail Components.
  4. Import the hiper_package.pte file into the portal. For details, see Importing the .pte File Into the Portal.
  5. Run the upgrade_1.0_to_1.1.sql database update script to add a UUID column to the HiPer for Retail database to accommodate the new migration functionality. For details, see Upgrading the HiPer for Retail Database.
  6. Run the HiPerUpgrade.bat file to add a UUIDs to existing objects in the HiPer for Retail database to accommodate the new migration functionality. For details, see Running the HiPerUpgrade.bat File.

 


Upgrading Celequest to 3.7.2.0.326

You must use Celequest 3.7.2.0.326 with HiPer for Retail 1.1. Because HiPer for Retail 1.0 required Celequest 3.7.0.27, you must upgrade. You cannot upgrade a Celequest instance in-place. Instead, you must export from the 3.7.0.27 environment and import into the 3.7.2.0.326 environment by performing the following steps in Celequest:

  1. Export the 3.7.0.27 database, without exporting data.
  2. Uninstall the 3.7.0.27 EAR file from the application server.
  3. Drop the metadata database schema from the metadata database.
  4. Create a new metadata database schema.
  5. Run cqinitmetadata.jar to initialize the new metadata database.
  6. Install the CAS_jboss3.2.x.ear file (located in <BAM_system_home>\jboss-3.2.6\server\default\deploy), and bring up the 3.7.2.0.326 version of Celequest.
  7. Import into the Celequest 3.7.2.0.326 instance the export file from the Celequest 3.7.0.27 instance.
