Introduction 

The OIPA upgrade utility is a rich client application that provides OIPA application upgrade automation. The utility can perform and track a variety of database changes that are necessary to move between application versions. Changes may include database schema updates, required system and business data modifications and business rule syntax updates. These changes may be necessary to support new functionality or non-backward compatible rule engine changes.

The necessary changes for moving from the prior release to the current release are included with the installation of the utility. This guide describes the overall upgrade process, installation and execution of the utility, along with details about the utility's operation. The upgrade utility supports upgrades from 9.4.0.0 to 12.0.1.0. Make sure to begin the upgrade process from your current version.

Important: For this version of Upgrade Utility v12.x as a prerequisite, refer to the Database Schema Changes section under Compatibility Issues from 11.3.1.0 to 12.0.1.0.
