# Versions 9.0.6 and 9.0.7 - Structural Changes

With the release of object type versions **9.0.6** and **9.0.7**, both minor and major adjustments were made to the object type **Geotechnical investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018)** \[ENISO002] and its associated geotechnical data types.

These changes include:

* Adaptations to **DIN 18196 (2023)**
* Adaptations to **DIN 4023 (2023)**
* Structural changes to the geotechnical data types

This page describes **only the structural changes**.\
\
Information on further, [non‑structural adjustments](/object-types/geotechnical-investigation-en-iso-22475/versions-9.0.6-and-9.0.7-general-adaptations.md) is documented in a separate Help Centre article.

## Reference: Structural Changes to the Geotechnical Data Types

To avoid future conflicts with the GeoDin object type **Location \[G1BORLOG]**, the **short names of several geotechnical data types** belonging to the object type *Geotechnical investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018)* had to be adapted.

### Changes to Data Type Short Names

| Data type / Data type group    | New short name | Old short name |
| ------------------------------ | -------------- | -------------- |
| (G) Chemical analysis          | CHA            | CHL            |
| (G) CD‑triaxial                | GCD            | CDT            |
| (G) Laboratory samples         | GLS            | LSM            |
| (G) Oedometer                  | GOT            | OED            |
| Measurement data OE            | XGO            | XOE            |
| (G) Particle size distribution | GPS            | PSD            |
| Measurement data PS            | XGP            | XPS            |
| (G) Shearbox                   | GSB            | SBT            |
| (G) UU‑triaxial                | GUU            | UUT            |
| Measurement data UU            | XHU            | XUU            |

To clean up the GeoDin configuration and correct any affected databases, corresponding routines were implemented in **GeoDin versions 10.1 and 15**.

For this reason, **installation or update** to object type versions **9.0.6 and 9.0.7** is limited to these GeoDin versions.

If the affected data types are used in **layouts and/or queries**, these must be **updated manually** after an object type or database update.

### What Happens When Updating to Object Type Version 9.0.7?

To install object type version **9.0.7**, clean up the GeoDin configuration, and correct affected databases if required, **GeoDin version 10.1 or 15** is mandatory.

## Reference: Checking your versions before updating

### Determining Your GeoDin Version

To check the GeoDin version currently in use:

* Click the **Info (i)** button in the top‑right corner of the GeoDin user interface
* Select **"Info to GeoDin..."**

<figure><img src="/files/LVGLMaeYiDAltU4cvWXw" alt=""><figcaption><p>The <strong>Info (i)</strong> menu in the top-right corner of GeoDin, with <strong>Info to GeoDin...</strong> selected; the About dialog reports the running GeoDin version (here <code>GeoDin 15.2.29_H</code>).</p></figcaption></figure>

### Determining the Object Type Version in Your System

The installed object type version can be checked as follows:

* Open the **System** tab
* Navigate to **System configuration > Object types**
* Select **Geotechnical investigation EN ISO 22475 (2008)**
* Open **Properties**

<figure><img src="/files/LT7tce90zdR6PMg8cjEb" alt=""><figcaption><p>System configuration > Object types with <strong>Geotechnical investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018)</strong> selected and <strong>Properties</strong> opened; the Properties dialog shows the installed object type version (here Version 9.0.5).</p></figcaption></figure>

### Determining the Object Type Version in Your Database

The object type version registered in a database is displayed **during a database update** in the dialog:

**"Database structure: \[DATABASE NAME]"**

A backup of the relevant database is strongly recommended before updating.

<figure><img src="/files/NbhZdaRMgb0V7jb4K5Bc" alt=""><figcaption><p>The <strong>Database structure: ENISO_DEMO_Saarbruecken</strong> update dialog - the <strong>Database version</strong> and <strong>System settings version</strong> columns show the Geotechnical investigation EN ISO 22475 (2018) row updating from 9.0.5 to 9.0.7.</p></figcaption></figure>

### Backup Recommendation Before Updating

Before updating the object type, it is strongly recommended to:

* Back up the **Syslib directory**, usually located at:
  * `C:\ProgramData\GeoDin`
  * `C:\ProgramData\Fugro\GeoDin`
* Back up the affected geotechnical data types via:
  * **System > System configuration > Data types**
  * Use the **Export data types** method

<figure><img src="/files/KCcpiijdCnSe0f3mpEHV" alt=""><figcaption><p>System > System configuration > Data types > <strong>Export data types</strong>, with the affected geotechnical data types ticked and the export file path set; click <strong>Export</strong> to save the backup.</p></figcaption></figure>

## Reference: Cleaning Up the GeoDin Configuration

### Changes to the System Configuration

#### Case 1

**EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.5 or older installed**

When updating to version **9.0.7**:

* Short names of affected geotechnical data types are updated automatically
* Self‑created data type parameters are **retained**

#### Case 2

**EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.5 or older**\
**Location \[G1BORLOG] also installed**

When updating to version **9.0.7**:

* Object type **Location \[G1BORLOG]** and all associated data types are **uninstalled**
* EN ISO 22475 geotechnical data types are uninstalled and re‑added with new short names
* Self‑created data type parameters are **lost**

If the **Location** object type is still required, please contact **<support@geodin.com>**.

#### Case 3

**EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.6 installed**\
**Location \[G1BORLOG] may also be installed**

When updating to version **9.0.7**:

* Short name `UUT` of *(G) UU‑triaxial* is changed to `GUU`
* Short name `XGU` of *Measurement data UU* is changed to `XHU`
* Self‑created data type parameters are **retained**
* Object type **Location \[G1BORLOG]**, if present, is also retained

## Reference: Database Correction During Update

### Changes to Databases

#### Case 1

**Database with EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.5 or older**

When updating the database to version **9.0.7**:

* Measurement table names are changed according to the new short names
* Measurement data is written into the new tables

#### Case 2

**Database with EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.6**

When updating the database to version **9.0.7**:

* Table names for *(G) UU‑triaxial* and *Measurement data UU* are adapted
* Measurement data is written into the new tables

#### Case 3

**Database with EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.5 or older**\
**Location \[G1BORLOG] also registered**

When updating to version **9.0.7**:

* Affected measurement tables are **not corrected automatically**
* Reason: mixture of data type parameters prevents automation

#### Case 4

**Database with EN ISO 22475 (2018) version 9.0.6**\
**Location \[G1BORLOG] also registered**

When updating to version **9.0.7**:

* Table names for *(G) UU‑triaxial* and *Measurement data UU* are adapted
* Measurement data is written into the new tables

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.geodin.com/object-types/geotechnical-investigation-en-iso-22475/versions-9.0.6-and-9.0.7-structural-changes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
