APPX 6.1 (and greater) Upgrade Instructions

Line: 67 to 67

You are now ready to install the new System Administration files in your Release 6.1 folder. Follow these steps:

Make sure no Release 6.1 APPX sessions are running. In particular, make sure to terminate the License Server if it's running.

Changed:

Copy {$APPX_5.x_DATA_PATH}/6SA/6SA/Data/* folder to {$APPX_6.1_DATA_PATH}/0SA/Data folder. Do NOT copy the Struct folder.

>

Copy the contents of this folder {$APPX_5.x_DATA_PATH}/6SA/6SA/Data/ to {$APPX_6.1_DATA_PATH}/0SA/Data/ folder. Do NOT copy the Struct folder.

Check permissions of {$APPX_6.1_DATA_PATH}/0SA/Data in your Release 6.1 installation to make sure APPX users have read/write access.
Delete these specific .key files in {$APPX_6.1_DATA_PATH}/0SA/Data:
- EDITMSG.key

Line: 78 to 78

- SECDEPT.key
- SECROLE.key
- SECWG.key

Deleted:

If your operating system does not have en_US.utf8 locale or you are using a different locale by overriding LANG environment variable, you must recreate the key files for DICTNARY and TOKEN files for all your applications. To do that, go to System Administration -> Database/Applications -> Design File Management -> Leave the application blank and set the version to 00 then go to "File Selection". Select all Token files by clicking on "Select" and setting the file name to "TOKEN" (To select all TOKEN files from all applications under version 00, only fill in the file name). Go back and click on "Rebuild Key Files". Do this for "DICTNARY" as well.

Log on to APPX 6.1, go to System Administration -> System Setup -> System Administration File Management and run 'Create Files'. This will create new .key files for the ones you just deleted. This is necessary because the keys in those files contain Unicode fields. Release 5.x cannot create a Unicode aware key file, so we must recreate it under 6.1

Finally, compare your Release 5.x 'appx.env' file to your Release 6.1 (and greater) 'appx.env' file, and add any necessary settings to the Release 6.1 (and greater) version. Do not simply copy your Release 5.x file to 6.1 (and greater), as you will lose some Release 6.1 (and greater) settings. This is a good time to review these settings to see if they are still required. If you are not sure what a setting is used for, use the Environment Variable Wizard to check it.

If you changed your 'appx.env' file, log off & on again. Check your System Administration files to make sure everything was migrated correctly, i.e., Users, Printers, Forms, Applications, Databases, etc.

Role Based Security: If you are using Role Based Security, you should copy it to your new 6.1 installation. Copy all the files in $APPXPATH/0SA/ACL to $APPXPATH/0SA/ACL in your Release 6.1 installation. Create the $APPXPATH/0SA/ACL folder if necessary. Since the Structure files are different between 5 & 6, we must delete all the 'Struct' folders in $APPXPATH/0SA/ACL in the Release 6.1 folder after the copy is complete. They will get recreated when the applications are migrated.
