Migrate the "bat" directory

Therefore, batch files from previous PPM versions may not function any longer and need to be adapted.

The <PPM99_DATA>/custom/<client>/bat directory generated when the client was created contains a number of default batch files not to be changed or deleted.

An exception is the file _param.bat. This file contains settings required for using the batch files. To continue using the settings from a PPM 9.x client, please proceed as follows.

Procedure

  1. Switch to the <PPM9X_DATA>/custom/<client>/bat directory and copy the file _param.bat to the clipboard.
  2. Switch to the <PPM99_DATA>/custom/<client>/bat directory and replace the existing file version with the version you copied to the clipboard.
  3. Use a text editor to open the file you copied, _param.bat, and replace the PPM 9.x paths, such as <PPM9X_HOME>, with the corresponding absolute paths of the PPM 9.9 installation.

To transfer more batch files from a PPM 9.x client to a PPM 9.9 client on which the files do not exist please proceed as follows.

Procedure

  1. Switch to the <PPM9X_DATA>/custom/<client>/bat directory and copy the relevant batch files to the clipboard.
  2. Switch to the <PPM99_DATA>/custom/<client>/bat directory and paste the copied batch files.
  3. Check if referenced batch files have already been migrated. If this is not the case you need to migrate them, too.
