Step 5: Upgrade procedure

Upgrade the application to USoft 9. Use the automated upgrade procedure.

What the upgrade procedure does

The upgrade routine will upgrade:

•USoft Authorizer.

•USoft BenchMark.

•USoft Definer.

•USoft Windows Designer.

•USoft Web Designer.

The upgrade generally consists of:

•Making repository changes (= changes to USoft tables and columns).

•Re-checking Logical Views, Constraints, Decisions, Job Tasks and Jobs. This results in Correct = Yes flags for these objects.

•Upgrading menu options, publications, messages and message translations.

How to run the upgrade procedure

1.	Start USoft Binder for USoft 9.

2.	Choose Item, New from the menu. Check the Upgrade checkbox. Press the Add button.

The Upgrade Tool item appears in the item list.

Save work by pressing the Save button.

3.	Double-click on the Upgrade Tool item.

The Upgrade application is opened.

4.	Choose File, Start Upgrade from the menu. The Upgrade Wizard is displayed:

5.	Type the user name and password you use when connecting to the database.

6.	From the dropdown list, choose the RDBMS you are connecting to.

7.	In the Database field, specify the connect string you use to identify the database to which you are connecting. For Oracle over SQL*Net V2, for example, this would be of the form:
