Applying schema updates for a fixpack
Run the schema updater script, update_db_schemas.pl
, to apply all
necessary NCIM topology database schema updates for one or more fixpacks or interim
fixes.
Before you begin
Before you can run the update_db_schemas.pl
script, you must first
install the fixpack or interim fix for which you want to apply schema updates.
About this task
Starting with Network Manager
V4.2, when you download a new fixpack or interim
fix, the download includes the
update_db_schemas.pl
script and
associated update files. These update files
include all NCIM topology database schema changes
for all fixpacks and interim fixes up to the
current fix.
You can apply all schema changes for the current fixpack or
interim fix to the NCIM topology database by running the
update_db_schemas.pl
script. Update all NCIM databases at the
same time. The script also applies schema changes for multiple fixpacks or interim
fixes. For example, if for a particular major release you did not install fixpack 1,
but are now installing fixpack 2, running the update_db_schemas.pl
script applies all schema changes for both fixpack 1 and fixpack 2.Note: Not every
fix pack contains database schema updates. For a list of fix packs and whether
or not they contain database schema updates, refer to Release notes - IBM Tivoli Network Manager IP Edition 4.2. If the fix pack that you want to upgrade to, or any of the
intervening fix packs, contain database schema changes then you must run the
update_db_schemas.pl
script.To apply schema updates, complete the following tasks.
