Upgrading Vector
Note: Before upgrading, always take a full backup of your installation so that you can revert back to the original state in case you encounter a problem during the upgrade.
To upgrade your Vector instance to a newer version, use one of these methods:
Linux:
• If using the Installation Wizard: Select Upgrade.
• If using install.sh: Re-install over the existing installation. The setup scripts prompt you for upgrade options.
• If using RPM: Follow the procedure in How to Upgrade Using RPM.
Windows:
• Run the Vector Setup Wizard and select Upgrade existing instance.
Note: After an upgrade, user created grants on objects in the imadb database will need to be redefined.
Upgrade User Databases After Installation
After upgrading to a new release, user databases may need to be upgraded manually before you can connect.
If the user databases are not upgraded after the upgrade completes, errors such as the following may occur when trying to connect to the database. It may not be immediately obvious from the errors that the database needs to be upgraded.
E_VW1099_SERVER_START Cannot start Vector server.
E_US16D5 Table specified no longer exists.
E_OP0004_RDF_GETDESC request for relation information failed - possibly because table was modified or deleted
E_RD0025 error by caller, error has been reported or logged by RDF
If you have trouble connecting to your database after upgrading run the following commands.
To upgrade a Vector database
upgradedb dbname
To upgrade all Vector databases
upgradedb ‑all
After upgradedb completes, you can access Vector tables.
If any errors occur during the upgradedb, contact Actian Support.
