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
