Could Model in 11.4 transfered to 11.6??

 
  • I work on a project which is modeled in PDMS11.4
    Can I transfer MDBs to 11.6 ? or can I open it with 11.6?

    Reza
  • According to the user bulletin with 11.6, there are no changes to the DB structure. Therefore you can open your project directly with 11.6.
    Scripts are provided however for you to upgrade.
    If your project is a GLOBAL project, then you will have to upgrade.

  • I got my answer but i want to know how to update our model

    [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]PDMS 11.6 requires no change to the PDMS database structure from that used at PDMS 11.4 & 11.5. Upgrade scripts are provided to upgrade projects from all previous releases of PDMS 11 on the Windows platform, i.e. 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 & 11.5.
    The upgrade scripts take account of a change at PDMS 11.4SP1, [COLOR="Red"]when the standard database definition files were moved to the PDMS executable directory (PDMSEXE)[/COLOR]. This simplified the upgrade process required to add new attributes and elements to databases. It is no longer necessary to copy these files (also known as virgin database files) to the project data areas in order to gain access to new elements and attributes.[/COLOR]


    what does it mean ???! where should I move our project files??
    does it mean XXX000, XXXPIC, XXXMAC,XXXISO??
    we only change evarse.bat for read and modify acces to DB

    Could you tell me more?

  • The standard database definition files are databases created in project folders until 11.3 version.
    Since 11.4, these files was moved to PDMSEXE folder.
    They are: catvir.dat, cmpvir.dat, comvir.dat, isovir.dat, desvir.dat, dicvir.dat, misvir.dat, padvir.dat, provir.dat and sysvir.dat.
    So, you could delete these files from your project folder, if it's older than 11.4.
    If your project is 11.4 version you don't have to worry.
    Just set variables for your project and open in 11.6.
