Upgrading to version 4.0.x

Because the new meta-objects use the same configuration data as previous versions, upgrading does not require changing any configuration values. However, because the new meta-objects store the data in differently named attributes in far fewer meta-objects, upgrading does require the following operations:

IBM WBIS Support provides a utility that automates the above operations. To execute these operations manually, perform the following steps:

  1. Make a backup of the repository by using the repos_copy utility. For example, the following command backs up the entire contents in the Server1 repository to the output file, InterChangeRepository.out:
    repos_copy -oInterChangeRepository.out -sServer1 -pmypassword
  2. For each of your existing top-level meta-objects, create a new meta-object with the same attributes as the new delivered top-level meta-object, MO_JTextConnector_Default . For example, if you have created your own meta-object for the Customer business object named according to the previous naming convention (MO_JTextConnector_Customer), create a new meta-object for Customer that uses the new naming convention (MO_JTextConnector_Customer).
  3. Set the default values of the new meta-objects based on the values in the original meta-objects. See Table 12 for the correspondence between the attributes in the original meta-objects and the new ones.
  4. Use System Manager to delete the original set of meta-object definitions from the repository, keeping only the ones just created and MO_JTextConnector_Default_DHFormatter.

Table 12 illustrates the correspondence between the original and new attributes, including the names of the original meta-objects. Whereas multiple meta-objects contained the original attributes, MO_JTextConnector_Default meta-object contains all of the new attributes.
