Installation, Upgrade, and Applying Maintenance

There are separate procedures for installing, upgrading, and applying maintenance for Universal Controller 7.0.x.

Installation

Installation refers to the installation of Universal Controller 7.2.x on a machine with any supported platform that does not already contain an installed Controller.

If you are installing Universal Controller for the first time, see Universal Controller Installation for instructions.

Upgrade

Upgrading to Universal Controller 7.2.x refers to the increase of its currently installed 5.2.x version to a 7.2.x version (for example, upgrading Controller 5.2.0.10 to Controller 7.2.0.0).

You cannot upgrade to Controller 7.2.x from versions prior to 5.2.x (for example, 5.1.1).

If you are upgrading from Universal Controller 5.2.x to Universal Controller 7.2.x, see Upgrading Universal Controller from 5.2.0 for instructions.

Note

To increase a currently installed 6.1.x or later release of the Controller to a 7.2.x release, you do not have to perform an upgrade; you only have to apply maintenance to the 6.1.x or later release. (The procedures for applying maintenance differ from the procedures for upgrading.)

Applying Maintenance

For Universal Controller 7.2.x, applying maintenance refers to the increase from a currently installed 6.1.x or later release of the Controller to a 7.2.x release of the Controller (for example, increase Controller 6.1.3.1 to Controller 7.2.0.0).

If you are applying maintenance to your version of Universal Controller, see Applying Maintenance to Universal Controller.

Note

To increase a Controller 5.2.x version to Controller 7.2.x, you must perform an upgrade. (The procedures for upgrading differ from the procedures for applying maintenance.)

You cannot upgrade to Controller 7.2.x from versions prior to 5.2.x (for example, 5.1.1).

Database Permissions

In order to install or perform upgrades of Universal Controller, the database user configured for the Controller will require DDL (Data Definition Language) permission in the database during the install or upgrade.

Once the install or upgrade has been completed successfully, the configured database user requires only DML (Data Manipulation Language) permissions for running the Controller.
