Upgrade Web Option from r8.5

If you are currently running Web Option r8.5, follow these steps.

To upgrade Web Option r8.5

  1. Save your existing copy of the /WEBOPT directory in the IFS; WEBOPT85, for example.
  2. Restore the new copy of /WEBOPT from the WEBOPT save file in Y2WEB and then copy any user-defined objects from WEBOPT85 into WEBOPT:
    RNM OBJ('/webopt') NEWOBJ('webopt85')
    RST DEV('/qsys.lib/y2web.lib/webopt.file') OBJ(('/webopt'))
    MOV OBJ('/webopt85/<object-name>') TODIR('/webopt') (repeat as required)
    

    Use the Upgrade Web Option environment (YUPGW2EENV).

  3. Specify the name of your existing Web Option environment data library and the name of the new, restored Web Option product library and LDO library:
    YUPGW2EENV W2EENV(MYWEBENV) W2ELIB(Y2WEB) LDOLIB(Y2WEBVENG)
    

    This command upgrades your Web Option environment to the level of the new shipped Web Option product libraries.

    Note: This command must be run interactively.

  4. Change any 2E models so that the YW2ELIB model value refers to the environment library rather than the product library:
    CHGMDLVAL MDLVAL(YW2ELIB) VALUE(MYWEBENV)
    
  5. Change any CA 2E model job descriptions and library lists so that they include the environment library in the library list above the new LDO and product libraries.
