Develop a Model Upgrade Strategy

The model upgrade strategy addresses how to move existing models to the new release. Upgrading the models involves these steps:

  1. Populating the encyclopedia
  2. Converting the model to the new schema

You address populating the encyclopedia for all models when you install the encyclopedia software for the new release.

When you use the new Toolset and edit the model are not at the same schema level, you convert the model before you can download it to the new Workstation Toolset. You use an encyclopedia to convert prior schema and second prior schema models to the current schema release for support on a current schema workstation. After converting the model, all Workstation Toolsets that use the model must be at the current schema release.
