Requirements and Cautions
Migrate database components after installing the new products and preparing the old installations.
The instructions in this guide assume you are using the same type of RDBMS in the new environment that you used in the old environment. If you want to use a different type of RDBMS in the new environment, there are special requirements that must be met before you can upgrade your products. Contact Software AG Professional Services for more information.
Important:
After you migrate database components to the new release, you can no longer use them with your old environment.
Important:
The new release might require changes to the database components, such as new tables, columns, keys, or indexes. In this chapter, you run database migration scripts that update the existing database schemas so they are compatible with the new product release. The scripts might modify the existing database components, or might create parallel database components with the new structure and then insert, select, rename, and drop the tables, columns, keys, and indexes. These changes might increase the size of your database.
