Upgrade Notes
Release 2.5.3 requires Java 1.5 and requires that you delete the jboss directory before you extract the files.
When upgrading from a previous release, you need to execute RUN_setup and RUN_Migrate (in that order).
Database Name: From Oracle "SID" to Service Name
For Oracle, Release 2.5.2 uses the Service Name - previous releases used the SID - to connect to the database. The Global Service Name is discovered by RUN_setup and is usually in the form of <instance>.<domain> - example "compiere.myCompany.com". The Service Name is defined when installing the database.
When manually entering the Database Name (e.g. in the Connection Dialog) make sure that you enter the Service Name.
