Table Conversion Considerations for All From Releases
Follow these steps for Simplified Upgrade with Tools Release 9.2.6.x:
With 9.2.6.1 there was a change to the folder structure of the path code on the Enterprise Server. This change breaks Table Conversions with Simplified Upgrade, as you cannot access the new table specifications on the server.
For One-Click, JDE_9.2_Simplified_Upgr_Migration_Utility downloads have a fix for the issue.
If you perform a Simplified Upgrade starting with the GA Installation CDs, you must download the scripts to create a standard package in the path code you are upgrading. Search for Bug 33784730 on Update Center.
In either case, verify that the spec.ini
files on the Enterprise Server
for your target path code are correct. They should not point to PS920FA. They should
look similar to the spec.ini
file in the PS920 path code, but should
point to the path code (for example, DV920FA in DV920).
Follow these steps to perform Table Conversion:
- If you start from the GA Install CDs, download the scripts to create the standard package in your target path code, for example, DV920FA in DV920. After you install the GA CDs, run the scripts and verify that the package repository tables (for example, DV920.F98710DV920FA) were created.
- On the Enterprise Server, review the
spec.ini
file in your target path code and verify that it looks similar to thespec.ini
file in PS920. Also, it must point to the package repository you just created. For Simplified Upgrade, the GA Platform Pack lays down a differentspec.ini
file, which is not applicable for Tools Release 9.2.6. - The GA CDs are 32-bit. After you implement 64-bit on the Deployment Server, you must
copy the bin64 from PLANNER to each of the path codes. Additionally, you must copy
the 64-bit
glbltbl
,dddict
, andddtext
files fromPLANNER\spec
to each path code’s spec directory. Without these files, no Table Conversions (including *ALTER in ESUs) can run.
