Issue/Introduction

Steps necessary to upgrade a View database to the 12.2 level.

Environment

View - Release 12.2

Resolution

A SARDBASE VERSION updates the View index by adjusting the index record fields to the format of the upgraded code. As the SARINIT parameters are loaded to the database data layer, there would be no change necessary in the SARINIT parameters, to go to the next level of database.

The below process should be used to VERSION View databases to the 12.2 level: 

1) Stop all View tasks (SARSTC, SARFSS, SARXMS, SAREAS, SARXTD) and any Deliver RMOSTC tasks that write directly to the View database. 
2) Using View 12.2 code, run SARDBASE VERSION 12.2. 
3) Modify the CVDEPENU(SARJCL1) member, and run SARDBASE OLOAD, to load the 12.2 panels. 
4) Run SARDBASE BLOAD, to load the 12.2 model banner pages. 
5) Restart all View tasks and Deliver tasks that were shut down.
