9.05.700 from 9.05.607a Upgrade Question

Yahoo Archive
1
To go back to my original point that I mentioned before, if you are running
SQL on a separate box from Epicor or Vantage, then you should be setting up
your SQL Server as your admin workstation and using a local Schema holder
and not using TCP at all to connect to them, this has shown anywhere from a
10-25% increase in overall speed for conversions from my experience.

There is one for each database.

I made mine by copying mfgsys.pf and changing one line. There is also a set
on the SQL server.

Greg


This line from mfgsys.pf -db
"E:\Epicor905\\db\newdb\mfgsyssh" -RO
Changes to this in TCP. -db mfgsyssh -H SVR-EAPP -S 9400
referencing the application server and the port number for that db.

Can someone put a copy of what the TCP files look like. The instructions
only list a partial. Are there multiple TCP files or just one for each
database (Pilot, Live, test) ect.

I have begun upgrading out test environment with the 700 release and have run into a snag with the documentation. In our case, we have SQL on a different server than Epicor. According to the upgrade instructions, section 5.2, Update Parameter File for Multi-Server Configuration, calls to update mfg*TCP.pf files in the Server\Config folder. In our case, I cannot find any *TCP.pf in that folder or anywhere else on the server. I called support and they aren't sure if they are created during a fresh install only or should have been created during the upgrade. Either way, they are looking into it and I'm waiting for a response before I continue. Anyone with experience on this?

The best solution I have found, is to have OpenEdge on your SQL server, and
install the client from your Epicor Server, and allow it to create the Admin
Tool and Schema Change Icons for you.

Then, as an extra step, change the -db line in the .pf files to not use the
TCP settings.

Instead, take a backup of the schema holder from your epicor server, restore
it to the SQL server somewhere, and use that as a reference instead, then
everything will run locally on the SQL server since that's where your data
is located anyway.

Thanks Ned.

To close the loop, the TCP files are new to 700 and are not created unless the install is new. They do not get created during an upgrade. After talking with Epicor, the update instructions will be changed at some point to reflect what needs done for an upgrade scenario.

installs the TCP.pf files.

There is one for each database.

I made mine by copying mfgsys.pf and changing one line. There is also a set on the SQL server.

Greg


This line from mfgsys.pf -db "E:\Epicor905\\db\newdb\mfgsyssh" -RO
Changes to this in TCP. -db mfgsyssh -H SVR-EAPP -S 9400 referencing the application server and the port number for that db.

Are the TCP files required for the upgrade to work? Is there any new news on the fix from Epicor?
