User actions

The following actions are required:

  • If you have already upgraded to version 3.0.1 before the official release, you need to run a forced database update (how can you tell):
  • You need to run the Gravity Server and Client with Java 8. This might require installing a licensed program on the IBM i. A description of how to download and install Java 7/8 can be found here
  • If you install Gravity in RDi you need to upgrade RDi to version 9.5.1.2
  • If you run Gravity on the IBM i you need to install TD/OMS version 10.0.1 or request the Gravity Base savefile from Remain separately
  • If you run the Gravity server on the IBM i you need to reinstall the Gravity Base scripts with INZOMSSVR *GRAVITY while the server is down;
