Upgrade SIM4.1SP1 -> SIM 4.2 are there DB-changes ??

[Guido Koetter]

Hello,

we are using several tools for monitoring our network. These tools get their data via sql-statements against the Insight_V41.... -DB.

SIM 4.2 installs a new instance called Insight_V42.... What about the tables and views inside this new DB??
Is it enough to switch the odbc-connection? Must I recreate the sql-statements??

Best regards

Guido

You should just be able to change the ODBC for your app to point to the 'new' db and it should work fine.

My Upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 has retained the original database.
It still has the original 4.0 name.

I don't know what changed but a couple of the queries I run are producing different results.
I think this is down to changes in data at this point, e.g. I had a query that used the "Microsoft Windows" in the OSVersion, Windows 2003 Servers now have "Microsoft(R) Windows(R)" for some odd reason.
