The upgradefe command installs and upgrades the catalogs required by Ingres tools. You must execute the upgradefe command after installing a new version of any Ingres tool, if the new version requires changes to the catalog definitions.
The upgradefe command has the following format:
upgradefe dbname |vnode::dbname[/server_class] {product} [-b] [-vversion] [-s]
[-uusername]
Specifies the name of the database, and if required, the vnode and server_class, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters.
Specifies the Ingres tool products for which you want to upgrade the database. Allowable product names are ingres, ingres/dbd, vision, and windows_4gl, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters. If you omit this parameter, all user interfaces for the database are processed.
Installs the modules required to support the product Ingres. (Specifying the -b flag is equivalent to specifying the product ingres.)
Specifies the version number of the product to be installed; if the -v flag is not specified, the highest known version is installed.
Suppresses messages from upgradefe.
Specifies the effective user for the session, as described in Standard Flags and Parameters. If you want to upgrade a database you do not own, you must use the -u flag to specify the user name of the DBA.
