Upgrade Needed This check box indicates whether the tables for a company must be migrated to a new Feature Pack. The check box plays an important role during a Feature Pack Upgrade, for example when you perform an upgrade from ERP LN FP2 to ERP LN FP3. When you install a Feature Pack upgrade, this check box is selected automatically for all companies connected to the new Feature Pack package combination, to indicate that you must migrate the tables of these companies. Important: You should not start sessions in companies for which this check box is selected. If you start a session, the following warning is displayed: “This company should not be used because it needs a data upgrade”. Before you can use the new Feature Pack, you must perform various mandatory post-installation steps: you must first run the Data Upgrade Engine (ttspt1200m000) session, and subsequently initialize various parameters. For details on these post-installation steps, refer to the Specific Installation Guide (U8744 US).
