Changing the PcmPortal version

By default, the upgrade installs one version of PcmPortal (OCI or ODBC) as the default PcmPortal executable, based on the database type and version you selected, and the other version as a non-default executable. If you upgrade or change your database, rename the executables to change which PcmPortal is used.

About this task

The installer installs the two versions of PcmPortal as follows:

Database typeOCI PcmPortal filenameODBC PcmPortal filename
Oracle 11g Release 2PcmPortal.exePcmPortal_ODBC.exe
Oracle 10g Release 2PcmPortal_11g2_OCI.exePcmPortal.exe
SQL ServerPcmPortal_11g2_OCI.exePcmPortal.exe

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the bin\ subdirectory of your Contenta home directory.
  3. Rename PcmPortal.exe to the name of the version you do not want to use. For example, to stop using the ODBC version because you have upgraded from Oracle 10g R2 to Oracle 11g R2, rename PcmPortal.exe to PcmPortal_ODBC.exe.
  4. Rename the other executable to PcmPortal.exe. In the same example, rename PcmPortal_11g2_OCI.exe to PcmPortal.exe.
  5. Restart PcmPortal.
