Hello All,
just one thing... I'm reading all the replies and I've one strange feeling... confusion with the Database table upgrades.
There are 2 kind of tables in CMOD:
- CMOD Internal Tables
- CMOD Customer Tables
The CMOD Custome tables are NEVER touch during an upgrade of CMOD, except if the upgrade path says otherwise (but my experience in the last 15 years, show me that they never changed during an upgrade from CMOD itself).
Only the CMOD Internal tables are touched.
If you want to make a rollback scenario, you need to backup/export/... these internal tables (ARS%), and in case you need to go back, then restore/import/... them, and only them.
You might say... yes but with CMOD V9.0, the new date format will change the customer tables. To that I will say IT IS NOT TRUE. They are changed ONLY if YOU want it to be changed. This is an extra manual step that the customer need to decide, and perform.
That said, a simple "arsdb -x" before doing the upgrade is one way to simply save this internal CMOD tables in case of rollback.
Sincerely yours,
Alessandro
