CCB 2.2.0 SP1 and FW 2.2.0 SP1 - becareful

If you are in the process of putting in a SP remember to ALWAYS backup the database and the appserver.

It is just good practise !

The CCB SP1 and FW SP1 database update does a blueprint fix ... so it clears everything out to make it at the SP1 level for C1 and F1 flags. (your customization will still be there)
.... so if by mistake (a stupid mistake ....) , you have an environment at CCB 2.2.0 SP3 FW SP3 and run the FW SP1 cdxdbi script it will wipe out all the internal metadata related to SP2 / SP3 etc ....
So the story is make a backup both of the Database and the AppServer.

CCB / FW 2.2.0 SP4 is released

The Service Pack SP4 for OUFW and CCB is released.

The Service does NOT include some single fixes that are not part of the Main App for example other 3rd Party and the XAI Editor. The list that I have compiled is as follows :

7498832 CCB V2.2.0 FRENCH LANGUAGE PACK8220958 CCB V2.2.0
LATIN AMERICAN SPANISH LANGUAGE PACKAGE

Help Packs
So far only 2.1 new language help has been released (but can be massaged a bit or 2.2)

As like SP3 if installing a new environment you still need to put in SP1.
SP4 contains all single fixes that are in SP2 and SP3 BUT does not contain patches in SP1.
(This is both for CCB and FW)

With respect to ETM FW SP3a .... SP4 includes all single fixes in SP3a
FW SP4 works with BI 2.2 too and with RMB 2.2.0

A new feature with the install is the SPErrorChecker.plx. it has been improved since it was released with SP3. It now does not give an error message if a fix was installed already.

So the following is some stats that can be useful for checking that all was installed correctly.

The order to install is

FW 2.2.0
CCB 2.2.0
FW Pre SP1 patches (2 Single fixes get loaded ... I used the SPErrorChecker.plx on this and it shows the details correctly)
FW SP1 (45 SF installed)
CCB SP1 (69 SF installed)
FW SP4 (170 SF installed)
CCB SP4 (264 SF installed)
