Upgrade or Update R Scripts to V4.3.0.6.0

Before you begin

The following tables outline the steps that you must complete to upgrade this module to V4.3.0.6.0. These instructions assume that you have completed the steps for upgrading the basic GE Digital APM system architecture.

These tasks may be completed by multiple people in your organization. We recommend, however, that the tasks be completed in the order in which they are listed.

Procedure

Upgrade R Script Metadata

About this task

If you are upgrading directly from V3.6.0.8.0, after upgrading your database to V4.3.0.6.0, you must run a script in order to upgrade existing R script metadata. This step is not required if you are upgrading from any V3.x version other than V3.6.0.8.0.

Note: If you are unsure whether you need to complete this step, or if you would like assistance, please contact GE Global Support.

Procedure

  1. Copy the script corresponding to your type of database.

    Oracle 

    
                    -- select * from dbo.[MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS]
                    UPDATE MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = REPLACE(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM, '"DataType":"n"', '"DataType":"N"');
                    UPDATE MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = REPLACE(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM, '"DataType":"c"', '"DataType":"C"');
                    UPDATE MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = REPLACE(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM, '"DataType":"d"', '"DataType":"D"');
                    UPDATE MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = REPLACE(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM, '"DataType":"l"', '"DataType":"L"');

    SQL 

    
                    -- select * from dbo.[MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS]
                    UPDATE dbo.[MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS]
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = CAST(REPLACE(CAST(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM as NVarchar(MAX)),'"DataType":"n"', '"DataType":"N"') AS NText)
                    UPDATE dbo.[MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS]
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = CAST(REPLACE(CAST(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM as NVarchar(MAX)),'"DataType":"c"', '"DataType":"C"') AS NText)
                    UPDATE dbo.[MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS]
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = CAST(REPLACE(CAST(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM as NVarchar(MAX)),'"DataType":"d"', '"DataType":"D"') AS NText)
                    UPDATE dbo.[MI_CTIT_RSCRIPTS]
                    SET CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM = CAST(REPLACE(CAST(CTIT_RSCR_DEFN_MEM as NVarchar(MAX)),'"DataType":"l"', '"DataType":"L"') AS NText)
  2. Using SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL) or SQL Developer (for Oracle), run the script.

    The R script metadata is upgraded.
