Upgrade to a higher version

To upgrade a DataBlade® module to a higher version, run the SYSBldPrepare( ) function with the DataBlade® module reference and the 'create' arguments.

For the complete calling syntax and the signature of the SYSBldPrepare( ) function, see its description in the Informix® Guide to SQL: Syntax.

For example, suppose you create a WorldView DataBlade® module that is dependent on a Map DataBlade® module. You have installed versions 4.13.FC3 and 4.13.FC4 of the Map DataBlade® module and versions 1.00 and 2.00 of the WorldView DataBlade® module, but only the map.4.13.FC3 and worldview.1.00 modules are registered in the database. To upgrade from worldview.1.00 to worldview.2.00, issue these function calls: 
EXECUTE FUNCTION sysbldprepare('map.*','create');
EXECUTE FUNCTION sysbldprepare('worldview.*','create');
This sequence of calls has the following effects:
  • The first call upgrades the Map DataBlade® module to the highest installed version.
  • The second call upgrades the WorldView DataBlade® module to the highest installed version

Here the asterisk in each function call specifies the highest installed version, so no exact version string is needed in the first argument.
