Executing the Upgrade

Executing an upgrade is an all-in-one task to incrementally move from one version to the next. In order to ensure rule and database compatibility, each portion of the upgrade must complete successfully in order for the environment to be considered upgraded to the desired version. The steps below explain how to execute the upgrade.

Steps to Run the Upgrade Utility

  1. Launch the upgrade utility.
    1. Navigate to <install_dir>\OIPAUtility\bin.
    2. Double-click oipa_utility.exe.
  2. In the UtilitiesExplorer Window, right-click the target upgrade environment and select Logon to Environment. Login with the Palette Username and password which has Upgrade Utility privilege.

  1. If this is the first time an upgrade is being performed in this environment, you will be shown the current system version. Select the version number corresponding to the version you are upgrading from

    Current version will be the release version, not the hot fix version. E.g. if the Hot Fix version is 10.1.2.3 then current version will be shown as 10.1.2.0

  2. The VersionUpgradeEditor Window will now appear. In the Available Versions to Upgrade drop down, select the version you are upgrading to.
  3. The list of modules will populate, showing the upgrade actions to be performed.

  1. Click Upgrade App to begin the upgrade. A progress window will appear letting you know that permanent changes are actively being applied to the database.
  2. When the upgrade process is complete you will receive a confirmation message. Do not interrupt the process by closing the utility until a confirmation message is received.

  1. In the case of an error, an error message will be shown and upgrade utility won't process further. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for additional details.
  2. Click OK on the success confirmation window. In the VersionUpgradeEditor window, Current Version will reflect the database compatibility version of the target environment.
  3. Installation of the new version of the OIPA application is complete and testing may now proceed.
