Migration of rollups in Netcool/Impact 7.1.0.13 and later

Fix pack 7.1.0.13 uses a new format for the creation of rollups that is different from previous versions of Netcool®/Impact. A migration script, which is automatically run during the installation or upgrade process, converts pre-existing rollups to the version 7.1.0.13 format. Run the Event Analytics configuration wizard after the upgrade to version 7.1.0.13 to verify and save your configuration (see note).

• In version 7.1.0.12 (or earlier) the rollup display names are free-form text with no formatting applied.
  Example:

  reevent_rollup_1_column_name=ORIGINALSEVERITY
  reevent_rollup_1_type=MAX
  reevent_rollup_1_display_name=MaxSeverity

  In this scenario, Netcool Operations Insight® creates a new column in the database called MaxSeverity. The display name in Dashboard Application Services Hub is MaxSeverity, or whatever is defined in the customization directory in the Netcool/Impact uiprovider directory.

  With the introduction of the Event Analytics configuration wizard in version 7.1.0.13, it was necessary to apply a new format to rollup display names.

• In version 7.1.0.13, a format of <column_name>_<type> is applied to rollup display names.
  Example:

  reevent_rollup_1_column_name=ORIGINALSEVERITY
  reevent_rollup_1_type=MAX
  reevent_rollup_1_display_name=ORIGINALSEVERITY_MAX

  Using the wizard, you can apply any display name to a column, in any language. Because creating database columns in any language might be error prone, the format of the names for rollup database columns is now set to <column_name>_<type>. The display name is stored in the customization directory and files in the uiproviderconfig directory. This format makes it is possible to change display names by using the Event Analytics configuration wizard. For this reason, a migration script is run during installation or upgrade to transform all pre-existing rollups to the version 7.1.0.13 format.
