upgradefe Command--Install and Upgrade Tool Catalog Definitions
The upgradefe command installs and upgrades the catalogs required by Vector tools. You must execute the upgradefe command after installing a new version of any tool, if the new version requires changes to the catalog definitions.
The upgradefe command has the following format:
upgradefe dbname |vnode::dbname[/server_class] {product} [-b] [-vversion] [-s]
[-c] [-uusername]
dbname
Specifies the name of the database, and if required, the vnode and server_class, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters.
product
Specifies the Vector tool products for which you want to upgrade the database. Allowable product names are ingres, ingres/dbd, vision, and windows_4gl, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters. If you omit this parameter, all user interfaces for the database are processed.
-b
Installs the modules required to support the product ingres. (Specifying the -b flag is equivalent to specifying the product ingres.)
-vversion
Specifies the version number of the product to be installed; if the -v flag is not specified, the highest known version is installed.
-s
Suppresses messages from upgradefe.
-c
Allows multiple concurrent connections to iidbdb without taking exclusive locks.
-uusername
Specifies the effective user for the session, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters. If you want to upgrade a database you do not own, you must use the -u flag to specify the user name of the DBA.
