This section outlines the PARTsolutions updates from V8.1 to V9 plus an update of the standard catalogs with an existing ERP connection. With an ERP connection, the LinkDB must be connected to the new V9 projects.
The following figure shows the Part view in the PARTdataManager with linked ERP data.
In PARTsolutions V8.1 the standard catalogs were bundled in the DIN EN ISO catalog. With V9 the standard catalogs are made available in 3 individual catalogs: DIN, EN and ISO.
The project paths in the PARTlinkManager also refer to "/din_en_iso/".
Follow these steps during the update:
Completely remove software V8.1
When removing the software the catalogs in the DATA directory remain untouched.
The MS-SQL server will also be removed. The PLINKDB data remain the same.[15]
Now install PARTsolutions Version 9.02 (or higher).
For the Standards selection click on .
The old DIN_EN_ISO catalogs are not displayed in the PARTdataManager directly after installation.
Migrate the V8 catalogs to V9. Use the migration assistant under PARTadmin -> Category Catalog update -> Migration. See Section 1.1.3.3.4, “ Migration ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.
Click on . Select all V8 catalogs. Click on .
Now, the old DIN_EN_ISO catalog is displayed again in the PARTdataManager. However, still without the links to the ERP data.
With V9.02
(or higher) the database structure is automatically adjusted to the
structure of V9.02 (or higher) for the MS-SQL server 2005 during the
installation routine (from V81.06 to V9.01).[16] You can find the script on the installation DVD under
...\tools\databases\MSSQL\plinkdb_patch.sql
.
For other database systems, please adjust these scripts and carry out manually.
In case you
updated the MS-SQL server onto a higher version, you may make the basic
settings for the database via ...\tools\databases\MSSQL\plinkdb_reuse.sql
.
Please adjust the scripts before carrying them out.
In the PARTlinkManager in the "Catalogs" context menu, execute the Update structure table.
Now install the current V9 catalogs DIN, EN and ISO.
You can do this via PARTadmin and the online variant.
Or via PARTadmin and the offline variant, by opening the cip files from the installation DVD under ...\catalogs\norm.
Install DIN_EN_ISO link catalog
When installing the DIN_EN_ISOlink catalog, the connections are set to the new catalog structure, so that the LinkDB data is displayed correctly again after installation.
You can find
the Link catalog on the installation DVD under ...\catalogs\additional\norm_din_en_iso.cip
.
Either hide the DIN, EN, ISO catalogs, or the Link-DIN_EN_ISO catalog.
The new V9 catalogs are linked to the old ERP data.
