Step1: Technical conversion to changed data model

Create a new Update VRC for the Feature Pack and convert your companies from the original package combination to the FP*-based package combination after the installation.

For details on this process, see Infor Enterprise Server Administration Guide, or the online Help of the sessions.

To upgrade the companies:

  1. Log on with a super user. Ensure this user is linked to the target package combination of the companies to upgrade.
  2. Change Package Combination by Company (ttaad1101m000).
  3. Specify the fields. Depending on the size of your companies, this can take some time.

    During this step, you can encounter the message: “Table does not exist errors (506).” Ignore this message.

  4. Run the Change Package Combination for Users (ttaad2200m000) session.
  5. Run the Convert Changes to Runtime (ttams2200m000) session.
  6. Re-login in the environment.
    If you connect to a company not yet migrated to the new SP/FP level, you can receive the message: “This company (xxx) must not be used because the company needs a data upgrade.”

    In general, this means:

    1. If you use table sharing, check your table sharing data; if required, adjust this data. The names of the new tables are in the appendix of this document.
    2. Run the Create tables (ttaad4230m000) session per company. You can expect the creation of several new tables by company.
