Upgrading the IMPAX database schema to
IMPAX 6.5.3
(Topic number: 60244)
5.
Important!
Only specific IMPAX upgrade paths are supported and it may not be possible to upgrade
certain versions or SUs. More information is provided in the IMPAX 5.x–6.x Service Update
and Hot Fix Migration Paths spreadsheet in the Additional documents section of the IMPAX
Knowledge Base > Main Knowledge Base Page.
Upgrading the database schema to 6.5.3 requires the IMPAX Migration Tools. For Migration Tools
installation instructions, see “Installing the Migration Toolbox on a Windows server” (topic number
11493) in the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, or WEB1000 to IMPAX 6.5.3.
When upgrading the database, you will be prompted for the report source. When prompted, supply
the value stored in the requesting_service field in the Connectivity Manager database. To prepare
for the upgrade, identify this value in advance. See “Identifying the report source” (topic number
68030) in the AS300 Preparing to Upgrade Guide—IMPAX 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, or WEB1000 to IMPAX 6.5.3.
CAUTION!
Any customization to the database—such as extra indexes, stored procedures, or triggers—may
affect the schema upgrade.We recommend removing such customizations prior to the upgrade.
