Points to check before a version upgrade

The upgrading procedure differs depending on the version of HULFT you use. Therefore, before carrying out a version upgrade, you need to check what version of HULFT you are currently using.

Note the following points before you perform a version upgrade:

• Records that are set in the Host Information as shown below are not migrated:

  • Host Type (HOSTTYPE) is "K" (K)

  • Code Set for Transfer (KCODETYPE) is "KEIS" (K) or "NEC" (N). If you perform a version upgrade, these records are deleted from the Host Information. Consider changing the operation before a version upgrade.

• The Send Control file and the Resend Queue file will be cleared.

• Terminate HULFT before you start the upgrade procedure.

• Create a backup of HULFT before you start the upgrade procedure.

• Each of the following fields inherits the value that the field has before the version upgrade (update):

  • Service Name

  • Registration Name

  • HULFT Operation Language

  • Code Set for Transfer

  • Date Format

  • Clustering Environment (ACTIVE node or STANDBY node)

• If you are using the Trial version of HULFT, you cannot carry out Update Installation. Delete the Trial version of HULFT that is installed, and then install a new version of HULFT by using New Installation.
