Run the Compatibility Script

All updates must run the compatibility script, regardless of whether you need to run the database upgrade script in “Perform the database upgrade procedure”. This script ensures that all updated clients are interoperable with the updated database. The script takes only <aP_username> and <aP_password> arguments.

Note: Unlike the database upgrade procedure which needs to be run for every schema, this compatibility script must be run only ONE time. This updates the database to make it compatible with the new version of software. Therefore, it does not need to be done for each client installation.

1 Open a command console and cd to the aPriori installation directory.

cd <apriori_install>\bin

2 Execute the script:

updateCompatibleVersions.cmd <aP_username> <aP_password>

For example:

updateCompatibleVersions.cmd bsmith002 dm675KA

Note: These are NOT the same credentials you may have used to upgrade the database in the previous section. Many users do not need to use their aPriori user ID and password regularly, and therefore may not know them. This means that your aPriori user ID is the same as your Window’s user ID. The password was created at the same time your aPriori user account was created. If you do not know it, use the aPriori System Administrator to reset your password.
