  • 1.  Web services sample on IDMS Upgrade option from 18.5 to 19.0

    Posted Nov 06, 2020 05:37 PM
    Hi there,

    Please help me here. 

    I opted for IDMS Upgrade (not Base nor Add), as I wanted to use the current database but also selected to have SQL Web services sample on my VARBLIST . This did because I want to show the development team what they can have with Web Services. This resulted in issues on Job15, and learned that I'm required to enable SQL option in RHDCPINT (Product Intent) module.  What will be in impact of setting CA IDMS SQL YES as I'm running IDMS Non-SQL option.  Did anyone here install IDMS Upgrade and also has SQL Webservices on?

    Hi, Sandra,

    There is no component product of IDMS called "SQL Web services".
    There is one called "CA IDMS SQL" and also one called "CA IDMS Web Services", and as far as I am aware, neither is dependent on the other.

    Also, you cannot add a new component (ADDON install) during an UPGRADE.
    See this comment in the VARBLIST member:

    * When doing an upgrade configuration, do not select additional *
    * products. Select only the products that were installed on *
    * your earlier system. Then do an ADDON configuration for any *
    * additional product(s). *

    You have to do it in two distinct configuration processes.

    But I'm guessing maybe you were thinking about SQL Web-connect?
    This was a feature we offered for a time which is more or less redundant now that the SQL/Option is freely available under Portfolio Simplification.

    If all you want is SQL, then just install SQL, but you have to do it separately from the upgrade as mentioned above.

    Best regards,
    Ian Hill.

    Hi Ian,

    Thank you.  I modified the VARBLIST to exclude the components and everything worked out.
