In Case of an Update

Attention

• Please note: the following topic only deals with standard ICOU. For information on the individual ICOU, please click here.

Update from DB 39.5.10 to DB 39.5.11

Cost Creation on SAP WBS Elements

Notes

• From DB39.5.11, the costs are created on/imported to an account assignment element.
• If you have already used the SAP WBS function in DB 39.5.10 and plan to update to DB 39.5.11, please consult your customer advisor. He/she will provide you with a migration packet which transfers the values created on the SAP WBS elements to a dummy account assignment element.

Update from DB 39.4.4.0 to DB 39.5.x

Updates of older DB releases in which newer tables are still missing have been made more secure by loading the data dictionary in a first step before the data for the new tables is imported.

Budget Data Migration

• See here.

Update from version < DB 39.5.7 to version > DB 39.5.7

NPV Parameter

Information

• In versions up to DB 39.5.7, the NPV and NPV (without subprojects) parameters were filled manually. The respective columns were real in PLANTA.
• From DB 39.5.7, the parameters are calculated automatically by the program according to a stored formula. In the course of this, the columns were changed from real to virtual. However, the values input manually still exist in the database.

After the update, the old values can be accessed in the following way:

• Create two new real DIs with column type = currency in DT461 in PLANTA.
• Transfer the values from the old real data item columns DI023127 and DI041683 to the newly created columns directly on the database.

Estimates and Comments of the _Status and Status report modules.

Information

• In database version 39.5.7, the End date and Milestones areas have been merged to a combined Dates area in the Status and Status Report modules.
• As a result, only the estimate and comment values of one of the two data areas are further used. If the data of the other area is required as well, they can be fetched to the new fields after update via the Edit Status and Status Report Data module.
