Vantage Patches for version 5.00

Yahoo Archive
1
Steve, I believe that when you load a patch it has all of the other patch fixes already in it. So, you don't need to load all of the concurrent patches. When I have loaded patches in the past it has only taken about 10-20 minutes even when it's a major patch jump. But, we only have a 250 mb database.

My philosophy is: "If it's not broken, don't fix it." So, I only apply patches if we absolutely need it. Right now we're still on .317. I suppose if the error that you received is significant enough to warrant updating to the latest patch, then I would. But, if we received a minor error every once in a while, I wouldn't update ours. That's just my opinion.

Subject: [Vantage] Vantage Patches for version 5.00


We have been running pretty well lately without any problems on patch
5.00.310. We did just get an error the other day, that I was told by
support has been corrected in the most recent patch. I just have a
couple of questions for the group regarding the patches:

1. I know that the current patch is .322, if I choose to patch the
system, do I need to load all of the preceding patches, and if so,
about how long do they take? I currently have about a 1.5GB database.

2. What are your feelings about the recent patches? Is it worth it
for me to apply them, or has there been more trouble then anything
else after updating. Like I stated above, our system has been
running pretty smoothly and I really do not want to rock the boat.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

We're running the .322 patch as of last night. No problems with the patch thus far, and it fixed some MRP errors we were having.

I believe you can install this patch over the .310 patch that you have. The patch.wri file will tell you for sure. The longest time may be for the schema changes that have to be run the first time you log in. This may take a lot of time for you since you are jumping from .310 to .322. I didn't have any schema changes when going from .320 to .322.

Going from .320 to .322 took less than 10 minutes. And there were no schema changes. If you are reaching further back from an older patch, it could take longer once you login for the first time.

I went from 317 to 322 with a 622,000+ MB Database. I didn't time the
schema change, because I thought it would go fast. It must have taken
around 1.5 hours.
