Conversion

This chapter describes the steps necessary to convert your CA PanAPT system to the current release. If you are installing CA PanAPT for the first time or are already using Release 3.0, no conversion to Release 3.1 is necessary. Therefore, you can skip this chapter entirely.

WARNING! The conversion process supports converting only from CA PanAPT Releases 1.3 and 2.0.

This chapter refers to the following terms:

Site‑specific Modifications/Customizations:

Changes you make that alter the manner in which CA PanAPT was designed to work. These modifications are usually made to accommodate unique processing requirements that CA PanAPT does not handle. An example of a site‑specific modification is changing one of the cataloged procedures to perform an additional step (or perhaps to skip a step).

Back Out:

To begin using your current CA PanAPT system again as your production turnover system.

Dual Maintenance:

While converting non‑critical parts of CA PanAPT, you can continue to use the old CA PanAPT version. However, the data that is updated on your old system must also be updated on the new CA PanAPT system to ensure that the new system is consistent with the old system.
