5.9.3 Upgrade Notes5.9.3 Upgrade Notes

SciVal, Scopus, and Embase switching to HTTPS : POTENTIAL LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY

SciVal, Scopus and Embase integrations will switch to an encrypted connection using HTTPS instead of using HTTP at the end of September 2017. This is reflected in Pure from version 5.8.3 on for SciVal and 5.6.0 for Scopus and Embase. If you are running Pure version 5.8.3 or later from September on, this will not affect you. If you run an earlier version, you will need to address this to ensure retention of functionality. See here now.

Upgrade to 5.9.x (4.28.x) required prior to upgrade to 5.10 (4.29)

The 5.10 release will include the unification of the Research Output datamodel.

• In order to install the 5.10 release, you must first upgrade to a version of 5.9 (i.e. 5.9.0, 5.9.1, 5.9.2, 5.9.3, or 5.9.4)
• We have had to introduce this requirement to ensure the successful migration of content to the new unified Research Output data model
• The upgrade to 5.10 will fail before any Research Output migration starts if 5.9.x has not already been installed
