Reverting to a Previous Installation › Revert Considerations

Revert Considerations

When you version (revert) the CA View database from the current to a previous release, note the following points:

Note: If you are running Release 12.2, you can roll back to Release 12.1, 12.0, or 11.7. However, you cannot roll back to a previous increment of Release 12.2. For example, you cannot roll back from 12.2 Increment 4 (INC04) to 12.2 Increment 3 (INC03).

Revert to Release 12.1, 12.0, or 11.7

This section applies if you revert to Release 12.1, 12.0, or 11.7.

If any reports were indexed using composite keys, the following actions occur:

• Cross report indexing for these reports is disabled.
• The VERSION job ends with rc=04. The version reports display the following message identifying the report name and the logical view number:

  SARDBT24 Cross report indexing disabled for logical view "report-name" ‘logical view#’ due to composite index
  

The database records for JOB mode processing are removed from the database. However, the reports are still accessible from ALL, SAR, or SARO mode.

If JOB mode processing was permitted for any users, the User control records in the database are updated as follows:

• Each user mode set to JOB is changed to first mode that the user has access to. Examples follow: access mode YYYYYY receives ALL mode; NYNNN receives EXPO; NNYNN receives EXP.
• If all of the access modes are no (NNNNN), the access modes are reset to YNNNN and the user is placed in ALL mode.

Revert to Release 12.0 or 11.7

If you revert to Release 12.0, or 11.7, the points in the previous section apply. In addition, the following point also applies:

The dynamic report identification records are removed from the database. Those dynamic reports are accessible from ALL or EXPO modes but are no longer accessible through EXP mode.
