2. Updating an Existing Aries Database company has either used and built the ARIES
database using the standard Oracle scripts provided in the past or they have modified or
tailored the scripts to meet their needs. In addition to the new company hierarchy columns,
ARIES Portfolio also requires that the following items are included in the database structure:
the Detail table must include either or both columns for streams S349 and S350.
Updating Standard ARIES Database- DBA can add the needed columns to the
ARIES database; or (recommended) DBA can create a new portfolio database
as discussed above, then use ARIES Data transporter tool to copy all data from
the old database into the new database. This will ensure that the proper
database structure is in place, and also, allows the company to maintain a
backup copy in case of problems.
Updating Customized ARIES Database- DBA can add the needed columns to
their ARIES database; or the DBA could create a new database by using their
oracle scripts adjusted for the new portfolio columns, and then use the ARIES
data transported tool to copy data from old to new database.
