IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3

Running the madconfig target for database upgrade

After you have completed any prerequisite steps, run the madconfig upgrade-mdm-ae-db target to perform the automatic database upgrade.

About this task

For IBM® InfoSphere® MDM Advanced Edition, a madconfig target can perform an automatic database upgrade from any version of InfoSphere MDM Server from 8.5 onward. The madconfig target detects your current version of InfoSphere MDM and runs the database upgrade steps required to increment from that version to the latest version of InfoSphere MDM. Although you run the madconfig target from the MDM_INSTALL_HOME/mds/scripts directory, the database upgrade scripts that it runs are in the MDM_INSTALL_HOME/database/Upgrade/ directory.

Procedure

At a command-prompt, navigate to the MDM_INSTALL_HOME/mds/scripts directory.
Run the madconfig target:
- For Microsoft Windows: madconfig upgrade-mdm-ae-db -l logfilename
- For Linux and UNIX: madconfig.sh upgrade-mdm-ae-db -l logfilename
Note: You can use the logfilename argument to specify a location and name for the log file. If you do not specify a logfilename, the log messages are written out to the console.
To review the process, see the log file created by the madconfig target.
