Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0.1

Hi,

Now, I'm checking the steps of upgrade from 3.0 to 3.0.1.

There are two ways
Upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0.1 using the upgrade script
and
Upgrading manually from 3.0 to 3.0.1.

I have a question about the difference between those ways.

I checked "app_upgrade.bat".
The script contains following commands.
set STEP_CMD=%NEW_APPLICATION_CMD% -rebuildTextIndices
set STEP_CMD=%NEW_APPLICATION_CMD% -reindex


Then I checked the document about manual upgrade.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_upgrade_rtc3_manually.html

In the steps of manual upgrade, either -rebuildTextIndices or -reindex is not mentioned.

That means that when I do the upgrade by following the steps of "Upgrading manually from 3.0 to 3.0.1.", I have to run the commands -rebuildTextIndices and -reindex after upgrading.

Is my understanding correct?

Hi Rice,

I would suggest to use the upgrade script if there is nothing that prevents you from doing so. The manual approach is much more error prone - because of the lack of automation.

You can safely run the reindex operations. These operations do no harm and can be used in normal maintenance too, f for instance the search text index seems to be missing data.
