POGI,
you are faithful, and I shall also be, I am pinning a note to my shirt tonight so as not to forget to take care of your question first thing at work tomorrow, I sincerely apologize for letting this slip so long.
Doesn't anyone else out there have an answer for POGI on upgrading project, you people disgust me!!!
TURN THIS TEXT INTO A BAT FILE AND PUT IT IN YOUR PDMSUPGRADE DIR FOR THE VERSION YOU ARE GOING TO. YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THE EVARS TO THE PROJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON. GOOD LUCK AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES...

How about 11.2 to 11.5 or 11.2 to 11.6? We have projects that we cannot open in the 11.5 because we are using 11.2 before.
Can you give some advise or it needs now an upgrade?
Plssssplssssplsssssplsssss
By coincidence I found a very easy way to upgrade projects from 11.2/11.3 to 11.5/11.6.
Just delete the virgin databases in the old project, and set project variables for 11.5/11.6 to point to the project.
When you enter admin module for the first time you will get an error message, but there you just write the command SYSTEMUPGRADE in the command line window, and the upgrade is finished.
Take a backup of the project before you do this, because there is no way back once you've done it.
[QUOTE=rxk]I need help in creating new project in PDMS 11.5.
Step in creating my new project TAD:
1. creating project directories
2. adding project variables to both pdms.bat & make.bat
3. run Make PDMS Project .....
--- after i run this the msdos command window did not appear..
Did you open/save the make.bat file with Notepad?
At least I have had the experience that Notepad messes up the bat files when I edit them. They are many times saved in Unix format, and Notepad do not understand the line breaks when it should save the file.
