Impacts of moving project from PX 7.0 to 7.5

Post by dsedi »

Hi All,

Recently we have decided to move our project which was developed and running in PX 7.0 to PX7.5.

Is there any major impact's on this move? I heard that PX 7.5 have different kind of lookup stage then PX7.0. Do we need to take care anything spcifically on this or all the jobs will run asusual.

ANy valuable input's are most welcome.

Thanks in advance,Edi

Your jobs should run as normal. There have been a couple of threads suggesting a couple different metadata warning or error messages could occur so you need to test all jobs. The lookup stage is much easier to use and looks more like the transformer stage. It shouldn't affect the design of your jobs. You can now add condition statements to your lookup stage.

We migrated from 7.0 to 7.5 successfully on 3 AIX machines and we did not face any issues. Since u are moving to 7.5, u might want to consider moving to 7.5.1A, which has all the fixes and patches applied. Most of holes and errors are fixed in 7.5.1A.
