Special Warnings

User Objects in the Program and Communication Library

• Do not store user defined objects in the LANSA libraries as the upgrade process deletes all objects from the program and communication libraries before starting the upgrade.

• If you have stored any user defined (i.e. non-LANSA) objects in the LANSA libraries, they should be moved to another library (or backed up) before commencing the upgrade procedures. These objects can be moved back again after the upgrade has been completed.

Using QGPL as Communication Library

• Will not upgrade until this is changed.

• Follow the instruction in the LANSA for i Administrator guide for how to move from QGPL as communication library to a different library.

Partition Options

• When specifying which partitions to upgrade, note that the basic partition attributes will be upgraded regardless of which partition options are selected.

Multilingual Users

• If you have customized versions of the DC@M01 message file in your national language (that could be DC@M01ITL or DC@M01JPN) then they should be moved or saved before the upgrade is started. After the upgrade has been completed they should be moved or restored to the program library.

Japanese Language Developers

• If you have additional help text members in files DC@F01 or DC@F41 (for example, DC@F01JPN or DC@F41JPN) then these members should be moved or saved before the upgrade is started. After the upgrade has completed, they should be copied back into new members in the newly installed DC@F01/DC@F41 files.

$$* Files in LANSA Database Library

• The upgrade process creates its own database files as $$* files. These $$* files are deleted after a successful upgrade.

• Note that if you have renamed any files in the LANSA database library as $$*, they will also be deleted. You should save and move these files before you start the upgrade progress.

Multi Product Upgrade

• If LANSA Integrator was installed with this LANSA for i system, it will be upgraded automatically.
