This document describes migration tasks you need to perform for this release of Adabas Review. It covers the following topics:

Migration Steps

To migrate to Adabas Review 4.8 SP2 from prior versions, consider and perform the following migration steps.

Start of instruction setAdabas Review under Natural

  1. Verify that any Adabas Review display programs or objects you have written or modified have unique names that do not begin with RD*, SR*, CR*, CX*, CS*, PU-* or BUFFERPOOL (these prefixes are reserved for use by Adabas Review programs). This will ensure that this migration process does not overwrite them.

    Note:
    Your user exits and RVCALL* program modifications are automatically migrated for you.

  2. INPL the Adabas Review programs and DDMs from the INPL data set distributed with this release into the SYSREVDB library as described in Install Adabas Review under Natural, in your Adabas Review installation instructions.

  3. If an existing Adabas Review repository file is used with a new version of SYSREVDB, the function REGEN ALL needs to be executed. For more information about REGEN ALL, read Regenerating All Display Programs.

Start of instruction set Adabas Review Repository

  1. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.5 SP2, run the EXPAND5 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.5 SP2 repository to a version 4.6 SP1 repository.

  2. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.6 SP1, run the EXPAND6 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.6 SP1 repository to a version 4.6 SP2 repository.

  3. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.6 SP2, run the EXPAND7 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.6 SP2 repository to a version 4.7 SP1 repository.

  4. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.7 SP1, run the EXPAND8 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.7 SP1 repository to a version 4.7 SP2 repository.

  5. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.7 SP2, run the EXPAND9 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.7 SP2 repository to a version 4.7 SP3 repository.

  6. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.7 SP3, run the EXPAND10 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.7 SP3 repository to a version 4.8 SP1 repository.

  7. If you are migrating from Adabas Review 4.8 SP1, run the EXPAND11 job found in the Adabas Review source library to upgrade your version 4.8 SP1 repository to a version 4.8 SP2 repository.

    Notes:

    1. Make sure to use the updated version of the EXPAND11 job delivered as fix REV482S001. It uses the fieldname PP for the PE-group.
    2. The zaps RD472100, RD473061 and RD481011 add the same fields as in the EXPAND11 job. When you have already applied one of these zaps to your environment, you do not need to run the EXPAND11 job.

    Once the EXPAND11 job has completed, be sure you have performed any maintenance for 4.8 SP2.

    If you wanted to migrate from Adabas Review 4.5 SP2 to Adabas Review 4.8 SP2, you would need to run the jobs EXPAND5, EXPAND6, EXPAND7, EXPAND8, EXPAND9, EXPAND10 and EXPAND11 consecutively

Start of instruction setAdabas Review Load libary

  1. The parameter list for the Command, Summary or RAW logging exit (REVUXLOG) will now be allocated above the line (AMODE=31). Make sure your existing REVUXLOG exit does support this. An example can be found in the source library.
