Problems Upgrading From V4.3 to V5.1 (DBMS only)
TECHNICAL ARTICLES -> UPGRADE ARTICLES
[ Back ] [ Printer Friendly Version ]

Q:	We recently upgraded from version 4.3 to 5.1. Many of our programs would not run under the new version of DBMS. What happened?
A:	In version 5.0 of DBMS, the metadata definitions contained in the root file were changed. As a result, any images that contain callable DBQ will need to be relinked. Note that many of the connectivity tools, including INTOUCH, ISG Navigator (Attunity Connect), UDMS and Focus use callable DBQ interface to access the database – therefore, these programs will also need to be upgraded.
