Select the Data to Upgrade

The Upgrade Mart utility lets you upgrade not just models, but users, profiles, and permissions too. Select the objects that you want to upgrade, including the versions of models.

Note: Suppose that your source Mart version is CA ERwin DM release 7.0 through 7.3.12, and you complete upgrading it to the current release of 8.0. You must still select the models that you want to upgrade to the current version.

You can upgrade models in the following ways:

Choose the best way that helps you get started with your work quickly.

The time that is taken to upgrade models depends on the number of models and number of versions of models present in your Mart. If you choose to upgrade only selected versions, the Upgrade Mart utility first upgrades the selected versions and then the remaining versions.

If you restart the upgrade process and select the same working directory, the details you have selected previously are populated, except for the password.

Follow these steps:

  1. On Upgrade Wizard, click Data to Upgrade.
  2. Complete the following fields:
    Upgrade Users

    Specifies that you want to upgrade users. The users are upgraded and the passwords of Server and Windows users are left blank. The upgraded users are assigned to their corresponding models and versions as owners. If users are not upgraded, the owners for models and versions are left blank. After the users are upgraded, open CA ERwin Mart Administrator and for each user, enter the email ID and reset the password.

    Upgrade Models

    Specifies that you want to upgrade models.

    Note: You can upgrade models only if users and profiles are upgraded.

    Upgrade Profiles

    Specifies that you want to upgrade profiles. If a profile matches with a profile in the source Mart, the corresponding profile available in the current release is used. If a profile does not match with any profile in the source Mart, then it is created.

    Upgrade Permissions

    Specifies that you want to upgrade permissions. Permissions are upgraded only if users, models, and profiles are upgraded.

    Note: Subject Area-level permissions are ignored when you upgrade permissions to the current release.

To Select the Top 'n' Versions

Selective

Specifies that you want to upgrade the selected versions first.

No. of Top Versions to Upgrade

Specifies the number of top versions that you want to upgrade. Only those versions are selected from your Mart that are not marked versions and are not deleted. These models are upgraded first and then the remaining models are upgraded.

Note: To upgrade only the marked versions of all models, enter zero for No. of Top Versions to Upgrade.

To Select the All the Marked Versions

All Marked Versions

Specifies that you want to upgrade the all the marked versions. If you specify the number of top versions to upgrade, all the marked versions are upgraded first and then the top n versions are upgraded.

To Select All the Versions

All

Specifies that you want to upgrade all the versions. In the first iteration, the newest versions of all models are upgraded. In the next iteration, the next-newest versions are upgraded. This process goes on until all the versions are upgraded.
