Set the Version of a Database

You can use the Tamino Manager to change the version of a database when you upgrade/downgrade from one version of Tamino to another. This means that databases created with earlier versions of Tamino can still be used with subsequent versions.

It is highly recommended only to use the Set Version function when the database is stopped and no other administration actions are in progress (for example, recovery). The database should generally be started immediately after Set Version, so that standard automatic re-initialization steps can be carried out. It is also recommended to back up a database after a successful downgrade, otherwise a complete restore/repair will no longer be possible.

Note:
The authentication mode of the database needs to be set to "none" before a database can be upgraded via Set Version. For more information see section Authentication Modes.
