FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
A new feature allows users to add product components or subcomponents to existing Progress V9.1 and later installations without having to reinstall Progress.
You can add product components and subcomponents to existing Progress Version 9.1 and later installations without entering any data other than the required components or subcomponents. In earlier Progress versions it is necessary to reinstall Progress and execute the "Custom Install" setup type; these steps are removed with this Add feature.
On Windows
Follow these steps to add product components or subcomponents to a previously installed Progress product:
1. From the Start menu, select Programs, then select Progress. Select Add Components from the Progress menu.
The Products List dialog box appears. All previously installed products appear on the Products List.
2. Select the product to which you want to add components or subcomponents from the Products List.
3. Choose Component to add components or subcomponents to the already installed product. The Components List dialog box appears:
Only components that you have not previously installed appear on the Components List.
4. Select the product components you want to add. If the selected product component contains subcomponents, the Change button becomes enabled.
5. Choose Change to add subcomponents. The Select Sub-components dialog box appears:
Only subcomponents that have not previously been installed appear on this list.
6. Select the subcomponents you want to add, then choose Continue.
7. Choose Finish to update the existing install. The Progress Meter Bar appears; the installation status is displayed in this meter bar.
NOTE: If a system file in a newly added product component or subcomponent is locked or busy during installation, a Reboot dialog box appears to prompt you to reboot your system.
On Unix
Follow these steps to add product components or subcomponents on a UNIX platform using the new add feature:
1. At the command line, type the shell script destination-path/proaddcomp to run the add feature. The Select Products dialog box appears:
All previously installed products appear on this list. The Select Products dialog box allows you to select and deselect Progress products for which you want to add components or subcomponents.
2. Select or deselect a product by highlighting the product and pressing RETURN. An asterisk (*) indicates that a product is selected. If you want to select the first product on the list, you must first press RETURN to deselect the product and then press RETURN again to select it. When you select a product the Select Components dialog box appears:
The Select Components dialog box lists only those components that have not been previously installed. Select or deselect a component to install by highlighting the component and pressing RETURN. An asterisk (*) indicates that a component is selected.
3. If the selected product component has subcomponents the Select Subcomponents dialog box appears:
-The Select Subcomponents dialog box lists the subcomponents for the component you selected. The symbol (m) indicates that a subcomponent is mandatory.
-Select or deselect a subcomponent by highlighting the component and pressing RETURN. An asterisk (*) indicates that a subcomponent is selected.
-Choose Previous Menu and press RETURN when you have selected all the subcomponents you want to add.
NOTE: If you do not select all the subcomponents marked as mandatory, the Mandatory Subcomponents dialog box appears:
-Type Y to return to the Select Subcomponents dialog box, or N to disregard this warning.
-If you answer No to the Mandatory Subcomponents warning, the Mandatory Confirmation dialog box appears:
-Type Y to disregard this warning, or N to return to the Select Subcomponents dialog box.
NOTE: The product.s you install might not work properly if you do not install all mandatory subcomponents.
4. When you have selected all the components and subcomponents you want to add, choose Previous Menu and press RETURN to return to the Select Products dialog box.
5. Choose Install Selected Products from the Select Products dialog box and press RETURN. The Done Selecting Products dialog box appears:
6. Type Y to continue with the installation or N to select additional components or subcomponents.
The Copy Scripts? dialog box appears:
Progress products consist of several scripts and program modules. When you install a product, the scripts are placed in the installation directory you specify.
7. Choose one of the following:
To allow all users on your system to run the product, you should answer Yes when prompted to copy the scripts to /usr/bin. Type Y to instruct the Installation utility to place Progress scripts in /usr/bin and the destination pathname you specified earlier.
CAUTION: Answering Y might cause the Progress Installation utility to overwrite existing executables in this directory.
-Type N to instruct the Installation utility to place Progress Version 9.1 scripts only in the destination pathname you specified earlier.
NOTE: If you are maintaining two versions of Progress on the same machine, answer N to this question.
-While Progress decompresses the files, the Installing Files dialog box appears:
While Progress tailors the files, the Tailoring Progress Files dialog box appears:
8. Press RETURN. When the installation is complete, Progress returns you to the UNIX system prompt..
