Software Upgrade

Perform the following procedure only if you are installing Data Express for z/OS to upgrade a previous release.

A DB2 administrator must perform this procedure. To upgrade Data Express:

  1. From the chapter New Software Installation Procedures, perform the procedures described in each topic through Install Data Set Libraries.
  2. If you are migrating from a version earlier than 3.5, execute an Unload of the following tables: ANLICLOG, ANURDFLF, ANURDFXF, ANURDLOG, and ANURDSPE.
  3. On the Micro Focus Data - Main Menu panel, select option Environment Update to display the Environment Update panel.
  4. The Environment Update panel contains five options. You need to complete them in order:
    • Update All Tables - Submits a job for each changed or new table to create the DB2 tables used by the new release of Data Express, and to migrate the previous database instance. The release numbers for the tables you are updating are required. See the Data Model Guide for table information.
    • Load Message Tables - Submits a job to load the Data Express message tables.
    • Load Data Changer Tables - Submits a job to load the Data Changer Conversion tables. Note: Only execute the Load Data Changer Tables option if you are migrating a version older than V3R0.
    • Bind All Packages and Plan - Submits a job to execute the binding for all packages and JCL plans.
    • Update Level Id - Submits a job to update the Level ID for all sources. Before updating the Level ID, you have to delete the content of the HSLICLID table.
  5. If you are migrating from a version earlier than 3.5, execute a Load of the following tables: ANLICLOG, ANURDFLF, ANURDFXF, ANURDLOG, and ANURDSPE.
  6. On the Environment Creation panel, select option Create all Bind Packages and Plan JCL to create a job for a new DB2 package and JCL plan and then select option Submit all Bind Packages and Plan JCL to submit the job. 6.
  7. If you are migrating from a version earlier than V3R4, recompile all user-developed exit routines.
  8. If you are migrating from a version earlier than V3R5, use the Data Subset Extraction module to verify the numeric values for the filter types FILTER BY RANGE and FILTER BY LIST VALUE. These filters are now padded with 31 digits instead of 18 digits as in previous production versions. To correct the padding, open and reapply the filter.
    Note: For more information, see the section Filter Types in the Work with Method - Selection class/Filter properties chapter in the Data Subset Extraction Guide.
