Description:
We upgraded our Mart Server from version 9.8 to v. 2018 R1. However, in Mart Administrator menu it still displays as 9.8. How do we know if our Mart was upgraded successfully or why is this not reflected in the menu?
Solution:
It has been noted only after the upgrade and not after a fresh install. Also, this is an unusual phenomenon which has been observed in just a few scenarios. It is still being investigated, but it seem to be environment related. In some cases it has been remedied simply by clearing the cache of the Web Browser.
With regards to how to make sure that your Mart is upgraded correctly, an easy way is to try connecting from erwin DM 2018 R1. If it connects, then the Mart has been upgraded as you cannot connect to an older version of Mart from erwin DM 2018. Secondly, you can also query the Mart version in the database where Mart resides. The query to do that is:
SELECT * FROM m9Version ;
If you like you can also uninstall the mart software and reinstall which will also remedy this behavior. When you uninstall the Mart software, it only impacts the management part and does not touch the database where Mart Objects reside. Once again, this is just a workaround for now, and is still being investigated for why the version is not upgraded in some scenarios.
