Blaze Advisor upgrade(7.4)

Debraj, it is true that you don't need a license to download, but you do need a license to either use the development plugin or run the deployment server.  Either you need to obtain the license keys from your project's customer or you will need to contact FICO to request a temporary license.

Hi, first of all many many thanks to you for guiding me with valuable thoughts !!!

Following is my update now:-

1) I got the License key and used it then no other problems have been created.

2) I successfully created new repository and imported the existing .adv file  (from the existing project) to that new repository. After that it shows the following message in the console

" Compilation of the original Advisor Project in progress...

The compilation of the original Advisor Project succeeded.

The items of the rulebase 'FeeSchedule.rb' whose order was relevant were stored in the Group 'FeeSchedule Group'. "

3) In Project Explorer of Eclipse I can see the project name folder with Repository name created; under this folder many rules with innovator_attbs file are there.

Ok that is done but I also don't know what to do next?

My requirement is upgrade the existing project (where .adv, .dbcp,.flow, .jcp, .rb files are there) with new version of Blaze Advisor 7.4

So please suggest me what to do next so that the existing project can upgrade the new version of Blaze Advisor 7.4

Debraj,

The best thing that you can do next is to hire a pro with sufficient expertise in Blaze Advisor. Alan carried you so far but it looks like you need more guidance & support to insure success of your migration efforts. It will help you to smooth product's learning curve and point you to the right direction. It feels like 40-80 hr project based on the context provided by you..

Hi Debraj, I agree with Mike, it sounds as though you either need professional assistance or begin the task of educating yourself on the technology.  There are documents and tutorials to guide your path, the ones I have mentioned should be read beginning to end:

Blaze/Advisor##/ReleaseNotes.html

- /doc/pdf/Migration.pdf

- /doc/pdf/InstallationAndSetup.pdf

- /doc/pdf/ManagingRepositories.pdf

By importing your project without errors, you are working with an upgraded repository (unless there are items to address in the documents above).  You will then need to regenerate your EJB deployments and if they use an RMA.  Being an older source project, there are new definitions to create, so continue reading:

- /doc/pdf/GettingStarted.pdf

- /doc/pdf/DeployingRuleServices.pdf

-/doc/pdf/DevelopingRuleMaintenanceApplications.pdf

The community can be very helpful for resolving issues, especially those with a specific focus.  :-)  Good Luck!

Regards,

Alan

Hi, I was going through the doc

-/doc/pdf/DevelopingRuleMaintenanceApplications.pdf

When I came to the following topics I get stuck there . I want to get a

Generate ADB File icon which is added to the Project Explorer toolbar but I couldn't find it anywhere in eclipse.

Please help .

"You generate an ADB file if you want to improve the start-up performance of

your deployed rule service. If you have been assigned the Release Manager or

System Administrator role or the option to generate ADB files has been enabled

for your RMA without LCM, a Generate ADB File icon is added to the Project

Explorer toolbar."
