You must have adequate backups of your SMP/E and CA Datacom environments before beginning the upgrade. If there is a problem at any point, these backups are available for use.
CA Datacom/DB at Version 15.0 supports the CXX set as Version 14.0 at Level 1. There is no Version 15.0 CXX. Even an INIT using the Version 15.0 code line initializes the CXX as Version 14.0. This philosophy allows a much easier upgrade from Version 14.0 to Version 15.0 and any possible downgrade or fall back from Version 15.0 to Version 14.0. The Version 15.0 code line accepts as input to a LOAD AREA=CXX or CXXCLONE backups produced by Versions 15.0 downward through Version 10.0 backup. A Version 15.0 backup is also accepted as input to a Version 14.0 LOAD AREA=CXX or CXXCLONE. However, it is not supported by older Versions.
CA Datacom/DB at Version 15.0 uses a database format in the CXX of 3 whereas Version 14.0 uses a database format of 2. If Version 15.0 opens a database that is format 2, it automatically converts it to format 3 and issues a message to note the fact. If Version 14.0 opens a database that is format 3, it automatically converts it to format 2 and issues a message.
Note: DATCOMIN is an alias that can be used as a short form of DATACOM-INSTALL USER. If your site has a user ID length restriction of eight (8) characters or less, it can be used in place of the longer name. DATACOM-INSTALL is the user name for the CA Datacom Datadictionary ++USR statement.
