Upgrade program attributes

Every program run by the DCU has several standard attributes. These are set in subnodes under the <program> node. Table 5–6 describes their use.

Table 5–6: Standard program properties

Property	Description
Rerunnable	Indicates whether the program can be rerun on the same database if the DCU processing is interrupted and must be restarted. Note: Before you define an upgrade as rerunnable, be sure it will not make changes to data that it changed on previous runs.
NewDB	Indicates whether the upgrade program should be applied to a newly created database.
ExistingDB	Indicates whether the upgrade program should be applied to an existing database.
UpdateMandatory	Indicates whether the upgrade program must complete successfully. If YES and the program returns an error condition, the DCU stops processing and treats the upgrade session as a failure. If NO and the program returns an error condition, the DCU logs a note on the failure of that program and continues processing the other upgrades.
