Global Addressing Module

Upgrading the Global Addressing Module

You must upgrade from the 2018.2 or earlier versions of the Global Addressing Module to the 2019.1 version to continue processing with the Global Addressing Module.

To upgrade directly to the 2019.1 version of the Global Addressing Module from the Spectrum 2018.2 version, you must have applied the 2018.2 S18 product update and be using Q1 2019 or newer data.

To upgrade from any version prior to the 2018.2 S18 version of the Global Addressing Module (2018.2 without the S18 product update, 12.2.1, 12.2, or 11.1), follow these steps to ensure your existing jobs continue to process correctly:
  1. Delete the old Global Addressing Module databases (databases prior to the Q1 2019 data refresh).
  2. Upgrade to Spectrum™ Technology Platform 2019.1.
  3. Follow the instructions in the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Installation Guide to install new SPD data files (Q1 2019 or newer).
  4. Follow the instructions in the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Installation Guide to use the Management Console or the new 2019.1 CLI commands to create a database resource from the newly installed SPD data files.
    Note: Create the new database resources using the database names that were used for the previous database resources to ensure existing jobs process correctly.

The Spectrum™ Technology Platform 2019.1 release requires Q1 2019 or newer data.
