Eloquence B.08.00 is installed in a separate directory and may be installed
in parallel with previous Eloquence releases on HP-UX and Linux platforms.
Eloquence B.08.00 is upwards compatible with previous Eloquence versions and
binary compatible with recent B.07.10 patch levels.
While B.08.00 uses separate config files in almost all cases it also supports config
files from previous Eloquence releases. So a copy (or even symbolic link) may be
used to supply the configuration. However, we do recommend to consider updating the
config files with the most recent template config files as new config options may
be available.
To revert a database evironment from B.08.00 to B.07.10 the following
procedure is required:
-
If the B.08.00 database server was not shutdown cleanly, for
example due to a server abort, the B.08.00 version of the dblogreset
utility must be used to re-apply (roll forward) any recently committed
transactions.
The format of the internal transaction journal was changed with B.08.00
and the B.07.10 database server or dblogreset utility do not support the
B.08.00 format changes.
-
Restart the server with the Eloquence B.07.10 version.
To ensure a successful reversion to B.07.10 please make sure that
recent B.07.10 patches are installed. These are currently (as of
17. September 2008):
- PE71-0807210 - database server

- PE71-0805071 - dbrecover utility
- PE71-0807030 - fwaudit utility

be installed:
- PE71-0801250 - database client library
- PE71-0801251 - image3k library
- PE71-0802150 - eloqcore
To use replication, the following B.07.10 patches (or superseding)
must be installed:
- PE71-0705303 - dbrepl utility
- PE71-0705304 - chklic utility

B.07.10 recommended patches.
Use of case insensitive index option
When the case insensitive index option is used with B.07.10, the database
server patch PE71-0801240 or newer must be installed before creating or
using a database with this option. Otherwise the resulting index could be
corrupted.
