Releases and upgrades are backwards compatible with databases of earlier versions. Databases made with newer versions cannot always be used with earlier versions. Therefore, the ITP/MDK Repository Server installer will automatically convert the existing database to the new version. This is an irreversible process.
Conversion of the database is done by running a database configuration program (cvc.exe) at the end of the installation. This program connects to the installed ITP/MDK Repository Server using the host name and port provided during installation. If this program fails, refer to Database configuration program failure for directions how to complete the installation manually.
