Definitions of Terms used

The following definitions are used throughout this document:

Migration

Migration means the transfer of a Tamino system from an older to a newer version, or from one machine to another. The target system may have the same architecture and operating system or different architecture and operating system. Migration includes both upgrading and also all other activities to accommodate changes in the structure and organization of Tamino schemas, data and applications so that the newer version of Tamino can be used as efficiently as possible.

Upgrade

Upgrade means the process of transferring a Tamino database from an older to a newer version. This includes all activities necessary for making the database operational under the new version, but not optimization. Upgrading is done using the SET VERSION command (see the section Upgrading and Downgrading Using SET VERSION).

Downgrade

Downgrade means the process of transferring a Tamino database from a newer to an older version. This could be used if, for example, you install the new Tamino version on a test basis but wish to return to the older version for production purposes. See the section Upgrading and Downgrading Using SET VERSION for more information.
