IBM Control Desk, Version 7.6.0

Uninstalling IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera before you upgrade

The IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera adapter is not compatible with Control Desk version 7.6. If your current Control Desk version 7.5.x deployment includes the IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera adapter, you must remove its data from the database before you can upgrade to Control Desk version 7.6.

Before you begin

Before you begin, shutdown the Control Desk version 7.5.x application server. Ensure that no database configuration changes are pending, and then create a backup of your database. Create a backup of the Control Desk installation directory on your administrative workstation.

About this task

You can automatically remove IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera adapter information from the Control Desk version 7.5.x database using scripts developed by IBM that are provided on the Fix Central web site.

You can edit the script before you run it to remove additional components. For example, if you would also like to remove Control Desk applications that contain Primavera data, such as Work Order Tracking (PV) and Job Plans (PV), you can uncomment the removal statements in the script. When you run the script, all statements that are not commented out are executed.

Procedure

Log in to your Control Desk version 7.5.x administrative workstation and download the IBM Maximo Adapter for Primavera adapter removal script, UNINSTALL_PrimaveraAdapter_7X.zip, from Fix Central.
Extract the contents of the UNINSTALL_PrimaveraAdapter_7X.zip file into install_home/maximo folder, selecting the Overwrite existing files and the Use folder names options.
Delete the primavera.xml file from install_home\maximo\applications\maximo\properties\product folder.

Optional: Edit the UNIST_PA_7X.dbc script before you run it to remove additional components. For example, if you would also like to remove Control Desk applications that contain Primavera data.

that contains Primavera data, such as Work Order Tracking (PV)
