  • 1.  Need some advice to upgrade IBM Datacap from 9.1.7 to 9.1.9

    Posted Thu October 06, 2022 10:03 PM
    Hi Friend,

    I am Lintang Gilang

    I need some advice to upgrade IBM Datacap from 9.1.7 to 9.1.9

    For now I want to test the upgrade at the development level, where there are 13 applications that hope after upgrading, can still work well

    1. Is there a prerequisite to update? and what are the steps ?
    2. Do I need to uninstall 9.1.7 ?
    3. Please provide a link to download IBM Datacap 9.1.9 ?
    4. Please give me another advice ?

    Best Regards

    Upgrade instructions are available here: Upgrading Datacap

    And this is a link to the 9.1.7 Software Product Compatibility report for Datacap:  Software Compatibility Report for Datacap

    Hello Lintang,

    Upgrading from 9.17 to 9.19 can be found here.
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/datacap/9.1.9?topic=installing-upgrading-new-version-datacap
    We do have a older document that only goes up to 9.17 but the logic remain the same as if you are updating from 9.16 to 9.17.
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/upgrade-paths-8x-9x

    You can do a "in-place" upgrade meaning install the 9.19 upgrade on top of 9.17.  Essentially the install will know that 9.17 is installed and it will uninstall anything that the original 9.17 installed and remove them.  It will not uninstall anything that is not natively install from 9.17.  For example if you have a custom application called "LintanApp" directory it will not uninstall that application. Before you do a in-place upgrade it's best that you back up the entire Datacap directory just in case so you have a back up of your 13 applications.  Once again, it will not uninstall or remove any directory that did not come with 9.17.  So all your 13 original application with a different name will stay intacted.  

    After you do a in-place upgrade.  Each one of the 13 custom application has it's own DB.  It could be in ms sql, db2, oracle.   Therefore each db need to be updated with the script that comes from 9.19.  You can find the script located in \datacap\suppot.
    Once you update the script your application can now attached to the updated DB with the updated script.

    Make sure you open up your customer application in dstudio and fix any rule set that are outdated or rule set that are no longer supported.   Replace or use the new replacement ruleset or action library from 9.19.  We introduce a lot of new 64 bit action library.  For example rrunner is replaced with rulerunnerlogic.

    The good news is we don't have any additional update to the tables other than adding new tables going from 9.17 to 9.19.  Which makes matter easier since the db script only contain table insert or adding new table.   Hope this helps.

    The iFix can be downloaded from Fix Central. This link should take you to available iFixed on top of Datacap 9.1.9: Select fixes

    If the link doesn't work, use this one to access Fix Central: Fix Central

    Then select the product Datacap and look for fixes that affect version 9.1.9
