Upgrading to 4.5 - Database version?
« on: December 21, 2004, 09:30:40 am »
On the download page (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/registered/reg_ea_down.htm), I read the following:
Note that version 4.5 of Enterprise Architect will upgrade any models created with previous versions of EA. We recommend you back up your earlier models before opening with version 4.5 in case of any unexpected problem. Also be aware that models upgraded to 4.5 cannot be opened with versions 3.60 or earlier.

However, I've upgraded to 4.5, and my database version still says 4.01.  The repository is in an MS SQL Server.  Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

Hello Jim,

Your version numbers are correct.

There are two significant version numbers :

1. EA Program Version : Currently 4.5

2. EA Database Version : Currently 4.01

So the versions you mentioned are fine.

In case you attempted to open a model with an old database version, an upgrade wizard would alert you and help you through the upgrade process anyway.

I hope this explains.

Regards,
Ben
