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 12c ReleasePcmPortal.exePcmPortal_ODBC.exe
Oracle 12c Release - ODBCPcmPortal_12c_OCI.exePcmPortal.exe
Microsoft SQL ServerPcmPortal_12c_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 11g R2 to Oracle 12c, rename PcmPortal.exe to PcmPortal_ODBC.exe.
  4. Rename the other executable to PcmPortal.exe. In the same example, rename PcmPortal_12c_OCI.exe to PcmPortal.exe.
  5. Restart PcmPortal.
