Upgrade Information
Although MERLIN LEGEND CMS uses the enhanced capability of the
MERLIN LEGEND Communications System, CMS works much the same as
CMS for the MERLIN II system. If the installation is an upgrade from
MERLIN II CMS Feature Module 2, all the current configuration files can be
retained; MERLIN LEGEND CMS supports these files.
However, if the MERLIN II CMS is not Feature Module 2 or is an earlier
version of MERLIN CMS, the configuration files are not retained. You will
have to re-enter the CMS configuration information including agent
directories, line and station number assignments, thresholds, exceptions, and
other programmed data. For all upgrades, you will have to reenter CMS
historical reports. You must remove the old CMS files from the CMSMGMT
and CMSREPT directories before installing the new CMS.
Table B-1 summarizes the changes necessary for upgrading to MERLIN
LEGEND CMS from earlier MERLIN CMS releases.
