Hi,

As part of our application we need to upgrade the version of RBD from 8.0.1.2 to 9.1.1.

It will be very helpful if we can get the list of actions that need to be performed after installing RBD 9.1.1.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jaiky

Jaiky,

As a general rule, the migration from V8.0.1.2 to V9.1.1 is very easy.    The general considerations :

- I would start with a new workspace

- Set your preferences to match what you are using in V8.0.1.2 (can export and import)

- Import your projects into the new workspace

- If any migration is necessary (usually runtime jars), it will run automatically

- There is no EGL source code migration between these two levels

- If you are generating COBOL, you need to make sure the EGL COBOL Runtime (product = Rational COBOL Runtime) is updated with the latest PTFs (z/OS and z/VSE) or the latest QEGL (IBM i).

- If you are generating Java, the EGL Java runtime reference will be automatically updated for you as part of the automatic migration.

- If these are RUI applications, you may want to look at updating the dojo levels.

That is all I can think of for now.

Thanks Mark,

I will follow the steps mentioned by you and test if everything is working fine.

Hi Mark,

I followed the steps as mentioned above and I was able to migrate the project to RBD 9.1. Thanks.

Whereas while debugging the migrated project I am getting JSON Parsing error in RUI. Although there is no change in the code.

Please see attached screenshot of the error.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jaiky

Hi,

I am not sure what is going on.   Maybe someone else on the forum or on our dev team can spot the issue.

Question...did you update the level for the Dojo Runtime?   

I notice you are using a specialized framework.  Do you know if they are compatible with the latest Dojo runtime.

Do you get the same error if you reuse the dojo runtime from your old level?

take care.

Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the prompt response.

Yes, I updated the level of Dojo Runtime.

Whereas the issue was with the style tag in ActiveDialog.egl. It is working fine after I corrected it.

Hi Jaiky,

According to the error log, the error happens when setting style for your widget. The error is at ActiveDialog.egl line 58. There should be some code like:

div.style = "padding:8px;overflow:auto;-moz-user-select:text;-khtml-user-select:text;user-select:text;"; 

or

div.setStyle("padding:8px;overflow:auto;-moz-user-select:text;-khtml-user-select:text;user-select:text;" );

In which, the widget is setting css style by a string literal or variable. Could you please paste the code here, especially the css string value. I want to check if the egl css parser can work with your css string. Thanks

Hi Jiyong,

Thanks for your help.

There was in issue with the style tag in ActiveDialog.egl. It is working fine after I corrected it.

Thanks again,

Is it possible to upgrade RBD v9.0 to v9.1.1 within the same package group, or is a complete install needed?

When I try to update v9.0, Installation Manager says it can't connect to the repository https://www-912.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/service/com.ibm.rational.business.developer.v90/9.0.1.0

Benno,

You cannot upgrade from 9.0 to 9.1, you have to do a new install.  There was a one-time change to the format of component-level installer metadata formats which prevents the two releases from being compatible.   Just in case you don't know, you can install both on the machine at the same time...just different software development platforms.   Here is a link that describes this:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21279139

However, the problem you having with the installation manager is not related to the 9.0 to 9.1 upgrade.   This is due to a security change in the installation manager and the repositories to use TLS vs SSL to close a security hole.   To fix this, you need to upgrade your Installation Manager to 1.8 or later.   See the links below for more info.   You can also try to update IM automatically by setting the preferences (File->Preferences->Updates)  and check the "Search for Installation Manager" updates.   I can't remember if trying to reach the IM repository will also have the security issue and not be able to connect (I guessing it will).  so fallback is to download the updates using the links in the pages listed below.

Thanks Mark, that was useful info :-)

Checking the "Search for Installation Manager" updates helped to get IM v1.8+
