 A question which everyone would have in mind while Upgrading to WA 9.5 is to manage all the Carryforwards that are present in old Production Plan on the older Version of the Master and to migrate them to the newer Master Server . This Blog aims to sort this problem once and for all to ensure seamless transition to IWS 9.5 without any hassles. As you would already know if you are reading this Blog that WA 9.5 comes with a whole set of New Features and most noticeable Change Architecturally is to move to Liberty as a Middleware in place of Websphere Application Server, JazzSM for both the Engine as well the DWC Profile. This change also means that the only Strategy available for Upgrade is the following :
Ofcourse , we are referring to an environment where you don’t have a HADR in place and both DB’s on Primary Master as well as Backup Master are independent. Once you have switched back to the Newly Setup Master Server on 9.5.x , you would need to run a New Production Plan on the Next day , the Newly Installed Master would not have the Planman showinfo data reflecting all data such as “Plan creation start time” , “Production plan end time” , “Production plan time extension” etc. or any of the Pre-production plan data such as “Preproduction Plan End Time”,”Plan creation Start Time” except “Run Number” : planman showinfo IBM Workload Automation(UNIX)/PLANMAN 9.5.0.02 (20200410) Licensed Materials - Property of IBM* and HCL** 5698-WSH (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1998, 2016 All rights reserved.

You can update the data in this table pertaining to Current plan for the “Confirm Run Number” field and then run the Production Plan from the New MDM the next day with -from and -to options. update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='88' where MPR_NAME='CONFIRM_RUN_NUMBER' This helps retaining the Carryforwards from the Current Production Plan while also retaining all Planman showinfo Data. planman showinfo IBM Workload Automation(UNIX)/PLANMAN 9.5.0.02 (20200410) Licensed Materials - Property of IBM* and HCL** 5698-WSH (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1998, 2016 All rights reserved.

So inorder to have the planman showinfo data Synced up , we could run the following set of queries : Note : While running the queries note that the Time Data is in GMT as this is how the Table stores the data internally irrespective of TimeZone on the MDM. update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='2020/07/01 22:00' where MPR_NAME='CP_START_TIME_LAST_EXT' update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='2020/07/02 22:00' where MPR_NAME='CP_TMP_END_TIME' update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='2020/07/02 22:00' where MPR_NAME='END_TIME' update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='2020/07/01 21:59' where MPR_NAME='CP_LAST_UPDATE' update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='2020/07/01 22:00' where MPR_NAME='CP_TMP_START_TIME' update MDL.MPR_MODEL_PROPERTIES set MPR_VALUE='YES' where MPR_NAME=' LTP_REPLAN_NEEDED' The last query assumes significance in the sense that it is needed to generate the Preproduction plan from the BKMDM when running Fresh Jnextplan on the Backup Master Server while continuing with the same Symphony from yesterday and also retaining the Carryforwards. This would sync up Planman showinfo Data as below in the BKMDM : Plan creation start time: 07/01/2020 00:00 TZ Europe/Rome Production plan start time of last extension: 07/01/2020 00:00 TZ Europe/Rome Production plan end time: 07/01/2020 23:59 TZ Europe/Rome Production plan time extension: 024:00 Plan last update: 07/01/2020 23:59 TZ Europe/Rome Preproduction plan end time: 07/02/2020 00:00 TZ Europe/Rome Start time of first not complete preproduction plan job stream instance: Run number: 88 Confirm run number: 88 This would allow allow extending Jnextplan on the BKMDM while continuing on the same Symphony with Carryforwards retained .
