We're a bit behind on upgrading our version of DOORS. We would like to jump from 8.1 to 8.3 plus any patches available.
Will 8.1 clients run from the 8.3 server? Is there anything to be aware of when upgrading the license server? thanks. |

I can vaguely remember some difficulty reusing the same port address for the new license utility even though I had uninstalled the old license utility first.
All permutation of DOORS 8.x client with DOORS 8.x server should work and we have not experienced any problems. The only difference is some features do not work eg broadcast message. ------------------------- - Martin |

We can't get the 8.3 client to work from the 8.1 server, so are you sure about that?

All 8.x client and server permutations are compatible.
I suspect you need a new 8.3 license. ------------------------- Tony Goodman http://www.smartdxl.com |

Has anyone here upgraded their DOORS server from 8.1 to 8.3? If so, did you go through some validation to ensure that the data was converted correctly?

So I need to buy a new set of licences? Or do you mean the licence server is not compatible?

v8.2 uses different license software and license dat file from v8.1, so while you don't have to purchase new licenses you will need to download the new license software (v1.3 I believe) and ask your Telelogic rep for suitable license dat file. v8.3 is same as v8.2 for licensing.
Never done it, but there is no particular reason why a v8.1 client cannot access a v8.3 database, although some functions won't work (e.g. broacasting). v8.1 and v8.3 use the same database schema so there is no 'conversion' that needs to take place. Major DOORS releases, e.g. v8 to v9, represent changes to the underlying data which do require 'conversion' known as 'migration'. - Louie |

A further question is the 8.3 requirement for Windoze 2003 Server. Has anyone upgraded their server from 2000 to 2003? If so, what other applications did you also have to upgrade (e.g. Citrix Metaframe) and what problems were encountered?

We are in the process in upgrading from v8.2 to v8.3. From this discussion, I understand that v8.3 uses the same license software as v8.2.
Do we have to contact Telelogic for any licensing issue? We want to instal v8.3 on the same server as v8.2 (which is currently in use), test the access issues and then transfer all the content from v8.2. Will that be possible? I'd appreciate if anyone can advise us how best we go about it. Thanks in advance - Krishna |

Version 8.2 and 8.3 use the same license software.
The msi installer for DOORS v8.3 will remove 8.2 if it is on the same server. See page 17 of Chapter 4 of DOORS v8.3 install guide. However you can install 8.3 and then go back and re-install 8.2. Remember to use different ports for version 8.3 and 8.2. |

We recently upgraded from 8.1 to 8.3. Went smoothly if you don't count our IT department taking their sweet time. Only bug I've had so far is that we're getting a crash about half the time after creating a baseline. The baseline is created and everything but we get a crash in createBaseline.inc. I submitted a support case so its likely in a garbage truck headed to the dump by now.

David,
We're running an 8.1 server, and I'm running an 8.3 client. I got the same crash as you today, after making a baseline. Had to kill DOORS, I could not close the baseline/new window. I submitted a support case. Did you ever get a resolution on your case? ------------------------- Joseph DUBIN joseph.dubinNOSPAM@freescale.com Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. |
