Upgrading Diagrams in Data Architect

Go Up to Install or Upgrade Team Server and Repository

Note: This topic is for version 16.1 or earlier upgrades only If you are upgrading to the latest version of ER/Studio Enterprise Team Edition from Team Server/Repository 16.1 or earlier, you must run the Diagram Data Version Upgrade to upgrade your existing diagrams. This process assumes that you already upgraded Data Architect to the latest version. To upgrade diagrams:

1. After upgrading Team Server/Repository to the latest version, launch ER/Studio Data Architect from the client machine and log into the Repository with the Admin user credentials.
2. Go to Repository > Administration > Diagram Data Version Upgrade to upgrade your diagrams to the latest version.

   Note: Once you upgrade your diagrams, you cannot open any of the diagrams using a previous version of ER/Studio Data Architect.

   

3. On the confirmation message window, review the information including the warning, and then click OK.

   

4. On the Select Log File Location window, choose a location to place the upgrade log in case issues occur during the upgrade.

   

5. Depending on the size and number of models in the Repository, the upgrade could take a few minutes.

   Once the diagram upgrade is complete, users can log in and begin using Team Server 18.0 Repository. Note that after upgrading, diagrams must be published once in Team Server before they can be viewed by users.

6. Launch a Web browser and connect to Team Server, log in with Admin user credentials.
7. Go to My Settings > Admin, and then click ER/Studio Publications.
8. Identify the diagrams that you want to publish, and then ensure that the Action for those diagrams is set to Publish.
9. Select these diagrams using the check boxes, and then click Publish Selected.

   Note: For those environments having more than 50 models, it is recommended that a single model be published first. After publishing that one model, you can select multiple models for publication.
