Upgrade to TS6.1 SP1

neilmas

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade from TS5.5.2 to TS6.1. As per the manuals, in TeamSite 6.1, iw-perl is based on Perl 5.8.2. Can anyone let me know regarding what is to be done regarding the DBI and DBD?

Thanks in advance,
Neil

If you are currently using DBI/DBD modules with your iw-perl then you need to confirm whether TS 6.1 ships with them pre-installed -- I think I can remember reading somewhere that most of these modules aren't pre-installed, something to do with license restrictions. Either way it depends what database/version you are on I guess.

If they aren't pre-installed then it should be relatively straightforward to obtain the DBI/DBD modules compatible with 5.8.2 and install them -- once again depending on your database and version.

For most people I expect that the upgrade of iw-perl should makes things easier. On a number of jobs I have worked on it has been necessary to install an additional instance of perl on the TeamSite server to enable perl connectivity with modern Oracle databases. With TeamSite now shipping with 5.8.2 this should no longer be necessary. Hooray!

Hope this helps.

Cheers

No worries Neil - good luck with your upgrade

Hi,

One more question regarding this. Since Perl is being upgraded to 5.8.2 on the TS server (which in my case also has OD base installed), is it necessary to upgrade the versions of Perl on the Target servers? The current version of Perl on the Targets is 5.005_03.

Thanks in advance,
Neil

Hi Neil

I guess it all depends what you are doing with Perl on your target servers.... but without knowing the specifics I would hazard a guess that it wouldn't be necessary, as your target servers are generally indepedent entities.

However, personally I would like to have everything upgraded and running on the same version to make it easier to develop and maintain -- unless of course there is a very good reason not to.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response.

We will be deploying TS content from the base server (having Perl 5.8.2) to the target servers (having 5.005_03). We are using synchronized deployments using OD and DD in which DnR scripts run on the target.

So, do you feel its better to upgrade Perl on the targets?

Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil

From what you have posted I can't think of any reason not to upgrade all your Perl instances to 5.8.2 -- I reckon you should go for it!

. You will of course want to test it all out in your development environment first though...

Cheers
