OD 7.1 -> 8.4 -> 7.1 Problem
« on: June 04, 2010, 06:54:20 AM »
Hi,

I did a convert to OD 8.4.1 from a 7.1 system, and followed the instructions in the 'README' document.
In the section "DATABASE UPGRADE" the nr 3 item:
3.    Backup the OnDemand Database or make sure a current backup is available.

I don't know how I should have read that !!!
In my World that is an Image Copy, right ?
I got an Image Copy,  :-D

I then ran all the commands in item nr 4... fine !!

Now that we have tested the migration to 8.4.1 ... WE CAN'T GOBACK !!!

the reason....
all the 'arsdb -I <instance_name> -vd'-commands dropped some tables, and recreated them !!!
So my Image Copy is of no use since the OBID for the tables have changed !!

Does anybody have any idea ??
