Applications can only be loaded into the same relational database type from which they were created.

Applications are loaded via the RED Setup Administrator utility. The normal process for implementing an application are as follows:

  1. Run the RED Setup Wizard utility.
  2. Change the application directory to the application's location.
  3. Choose the level of metadata application. There are several levels, from load metadata only through to load metadata and apply changes to all tables.
  4. Resolve any connections and tablespaces/filegroups to those present in the target environment.
  5. Create/Re-create or Alter database tables, if selected in (5).
  6. Compile database procedures, if selected in (5).
  7. Turn OFF logging.
  8. Review the output in the Setup Administrator utility.
  9. Review the log file.

Some database operations, such as converting an existing non-partitioned table to a partitioned table, cannot be done using a deployment application. In these cases, some manual intervention may be required to update the target databases to match the new metadata.

Refer to the RED Installation manual for more information about loading an application.
