After the Remote Upgrade

IconPrerequisite00005.jpg

Prerequisites:
Your Prinect system is successfully upgraded.
Available updates are installed.
Prinect 2016 is up and running.

You have an Archive System on Oracle, but don’t have a Content System

Prinect Archive System 2016 based on Oracle (without Prinect Content System) needs to be migrated from Oracle to MSSQL. As already known from previous versions, here too, Heidelberg is using the ORACLE-MSSQL_Migration tool (updated version).

Please note that the officially released Media Kit of Prinect 2016 does not contain the latest version of the migration tool, as a result migration might fail.
Please download the latest migration tool,
ORACLE-MSSQL_Migration_16.00.16.003.exe or higher, from our FTP server: (/ctp_prinect/se_download/Prinect_2016/99_Hotfixes/PrinectArchiveSystem)

Installations using Prinect Archive System together with Prinect Content System will remain on Oracle

If you have installed Content System, skip this section and proceed with Content System, Content System Link, Content System Monitor.

After successful migration perform the following steps:

1.Uninstall Oracle if it is not used any longer! Below are the known scenarios where Oracle is no longer needed. This process is described in the DB migration documentation.

A Prepress Manager or Integration Manager is installed.

Without Content System (remains on Oracle, in this case Archive System remains on Oracle as well)

2.Double-click on "Heidelberg Common Database Oracle 16.xx.xxx" in "Add & Remove programs" in the "Control Panel" and remove this product.

3.Reboot the server.

4.After the reboot you have to delete two folders manually: "X:\Oracle" and "Y:\db_backup".
