Please note that some of the scripts can generate warning messages. One example of this is Caution: Changing any part of an object name could break scripts and stored procedures. Generally, these warning messages do not indicate a problem. However, in the event that you see any error messages, please contact your PhixFlow support team.

Oracle

E.g. for Oracle users:

Code Block
cd $RELEASE/schema/oracle/migration/X.Y
sqlplus myUsername/myPassword @migrate_schema_from_x_y_z_to_X_Y_Z.sql

SQL Server

E.g. for SQL Server users:

Code Block

Import new Templates package

Go to the Administration Menu → Import Configuration. 

Select the new Templates file from {phixflow_release_folder}/install/phixflow_templates_{version_number}. The system will import new templates set (Styles, Layout Templates, Palettes). The user can choose to use new templates or stay with the current ones.

MariaDB (MySQL)

Warning

Some MariaDB PhixFlow migration scripts create or use privileged functions and/or procedures, and must have privileges not required by the regular PhixFlow user.

Specifically, one of the following must be true:

  • the migration user has SUPER privilege, or
  • the mysql global variable 'log_bin_trust_function_creators' is set to true

If neither are true, the migration script may fail and would require manual recovery.


Code Block
titleE.g. for MariaDB users
cd $RELEASE/schema/sqlserver/migration/X.Y
mysql -h myServer -u myUsername -p -D myDatabase
source migrate_schema_from_x_y_z_to_X_Y_Z.sql
