## ***Expere 2016.2 Engine Release - Important update regarding Java 8 and Saxon upgrade: DB and File System script process***

We have recently implemented Java 8, Saxon, and stylesheet upgrades; with these upgrades, users must run a script to remove duplicate imports for the database and file system.

Note: The following scripts are available on your release media in the Scripts folder. The supporting installation documents are available on our webhelp server; click the appropriate link for more information:

- `RemoveDuplicateImports.ps1`: for File System users using a Powershell script.

- `RemoveDuplicateImportsOracle.ps1`: for Oracle SQL users who prefer to use a Powershell script.
