GOAL:
What operations are needed before and after an Operating System (OS) upgrade?
GOAL:
Is a Progress specialist needed when a OS upgrade occurs?
FIX:
In most of the cases the OS upgrade will not require any Progress changes. However, read carefully a list below of cases where some operations for the Progress environment will be needed before or after the OS change.
1. The OS change results in the need of changing Progress product as there is no support of your current Progress version for the new OS
Before the OS upgrade you need to run the command:
proutil <db> -C truncate bi
After the OS upgrade, you will need to install the new Progress product.
2. The OS change results in a directory renaming (and your database is not a V8 single-volume one)
You will need to update the <db>.st file with the new path names and run
prostrct repair <db>
3. The OS change results in driver changes
You will need to review all backup and restore scripts referring to the driver(s) which changed.
4. You have used "probuild" for some progress executables
For taking advantage of possible OS changes for the "cc" command, you might have to run "probuild" again.
Depending on the confidence you have for non-Progress specialists on site to run the operations defined, you will decide if a Progress specialist is needed.
REMEMBER: It is always good practice to have a backup of the database (and of the application) prior to any change on a machine.
