Enterprise Repositories

Upgrading an Enterprise Repository from a Previous Version

If you have an existing enterprise database that was created with any of the Version 8, Version 9 or Version 10 Synthesis applications, you can transfer or convert all of the existing data into a new database that is compatible with the latest version.

All of the same requirements for creating a new enterprise database apply here (e.g., you must have an established database server and the necessary permissions to create a database on the server). In addition, you must be a member of the Admin group in the database to perform the task.

Tip: If you need to be able to upgrade an enterprise database without using a Synthesis desktop application (i.e., without taking up one of the available license seats), you can access this same feature from the Synthesis Admin tool.

Upgrading from Version 9 or 10

It is strongly recommended that you create a backup of the Version 9/10 enterprise repository. The upgrade process converts the database itself to the latest version. This change cannot be undone.

To upgrade the database, choose File > Manage Repository > Upgrade Version 9/10 Repository.

In the window, specify the Version 9/10 enterprise database that you wish to upgrade. Click OK to start the process.

Upgrading from Version 8

You do not need to create a backup before upgrading a Version 8 enterprise repository. The upgrade process does not involve a direct conversion of data, but rather copies over all existing data into a new database. This complete switch to a new database is required in order to support the exclusive features in the latest version.

To upgrade the database, open any Version 11 Synthesis application and choose File > Manage Repository > Upgrade Version 8 Repository.

Use the left side of the window to specify the Version 8 enterprise database that you wish to upgrade. Use the right side of the window to define the new Version 11 enterprise database that the existing data will be copied into. Click OK to start the upgrade.
