Customer Notices for Upgrades
Starting with the 6.10 release, Datical DB will run in the OpenJDK runtime instead of the Oracle Java runtime. If you are installing release 6.10 or greater of Datical DB from scratch in it's own folder, the installer will provide the new OpenJDK runtime. There are no additional steps for you to take. This is the recommended course of action.
If you are updating an older version of Datical DB (6.9 or earlier) using the Datical software update site or the composite repo, you will need to replace the old Oracle Java runtime with the OpenJDK runtime. For instructions expand the link below.
If you are upgrading from version 5.12 or earlier, see Customer Notices for Upgrades from 5.12 or Earlier to v2019.x or Later for important information before you install or upgrade.
Installation for the Datical DB GUI client requires special attention.

Deployment Monitoring Console (DMC)
With the 7.0 release Datical included a new, lightweight web-based Deployment Monitoring Console (DMC) that provides status and reporting information for all of your Datical projects through a browser.

Known Issues
Checksum Errors when Performing Status on Deployed AddUniqueConstraints Changes
If you deploy AddUniqueConstraint changes using Datical DB v6.7 or later AND you deploy changes using an older version of Datical DB, you get errors during Status operations. The error is reported when the status command performs checksum validation. Checksum creation was changed in version 2019.2.
Starting in v6.7, the Status operation accepts "old" checksums. However, if you attempt a Status operation using an old client, it reports an error on changes deployed by a new client.
- Old - before version 2019.2
- New - version 2019.2 or later
| Change deployed by old (4.x/5.x) | Change deployed by new (2019.x/6.x)) | |
| Status run using old (4.x/5.x) | Works | Does not work. Upgrade required. |
| Status run using new (2019.x/6.x) | Works | Works |
Datical now notes version matching for clients working on the same release pipeline. See Datical DB Version Requirements.
