Modes of Restructure mechanism

This section helps you to understand the restructure mechanism in the offline and online stages of Temenos Transact system.

Restructure mechanism in offline upgrade

In the offline upgrade workflow, the restructure mechanism implements the following principles:

• Uses the downtime during the upgrade process to ensure that the database gets adjusted to the new upgraded release of Temenos Transact products
• Occurs after the execution of the T24.UPGRADE service
• Replaces the RUN.CONVERSION service
• The clients who are upgrading from very lower release to R19 can still run both RUN.CONVERSION and Restructure service after T24.UPGRADE service.
• Adding a new field to an existing application does not require restructure mechanism. For more information on how to add a new field to an existing application, see Adding New Field.

Restructure mechanism in online upgrade

In the online upgrade workflow, the restructure mechanism implements the following principles:

• Does not use the downtime during the upgrade process
• Occurs after the execution of T24.INITIATE.UPGRADE service and before the execution of T24.UPGRADE service. Here the restructure happens on temporary table space, not on actual tables
