Appendix E - Migrating Older Models

If you are upgrading from a version of CW Suite older than 2013, you may not be able to load in some models that have come from a pre-2013 database.

This is because CW Suite 2013 introduced an updated database schema and older models are not compatible with it.

The Evolve Repository is now stricter about the quality of data that it contains. The import process checks for illegal XML characters in properties (usually caused by copying and pasting text into Evolve Suite), and issues with how Pictures and Publication Sets are encoded. As a result, if any of this data is found when you load models, then those items will not be imported.

These instances are rare, and the likelihood is that your models will be fine.

How will you know if Models are affected?

When you import a model that is affected, the Import Wizard will report exactly which data has been rejected by the import process.

This could be that a Publication Set, Picture, an object instance, or a user-defined property of an object has not been imported.

Recommended Procedures

If you have any existing models that you want to use with Evolve Suite 2020, do the following to ensure there are no potential conflicts before importing the models.

This procedure checks your repository and fixes any legacy issues that are discovered.

To perform this step you must ensure you have elevated database permissions. This means the connection you use when you log on to Evolve Suite, must have database owner (dbo) privileges

 

 

Exactly what you do to achieve this depends on how your repository is configured; whether you use SQL Server, or whether you use a standard SQL Login or use Windows Authentication.

You should ask your Database Administrator to do one of the following:

Elevate your existing database user to have dbo privileges

Create a new login with dbo privileges for you to use temporarily.

To perform this operation – you will need to make a new connection in Evolve Suite to use this login. 

Your Database Administrator can, and should, remove these elevated privileges once you have successfully migrated the models.

 

 

To fix any potential issues:

          1. On your Evolve Suite 2020 machine, launch the Command Prompt

          2. Change directories until your current directory is the erwin ‘Bin’ directory

This is usually C:\Program Files\erwin\CM10\BIN, or C:\Program Files

(x86)\erwin\CM10\BIN on 64-bit machines

          3. Run the following command to check your repository for illegal XML characters and fix any issues

validaterepository -Username:<your_CW_username>

-Password:<your_CW_password>

-Connection:<your_connection_name>

-ApplyFixes

Do not copy and paste this command, as it will not work in the command-line tool.

Please pay attention to the following notes:

If your repository is very large, then this step may take several minutes.

If your password is blank, you can omit the Password parameter

Ensure the connection parameter references the database you want to upgrade

If any of the parameter values have spaces in, enter the entire value in speech marks.

 

 

 

 

When you are asked to confirm if you want to run the operation, choose '(A)ll'

Your repository is updated and your models are all validated and fixed where necessary.

You can now export the models for use in Evolve Suite 2020.
