FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress 9.1D
Progress 9.1E
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
1. This Service Pack includes an update of the ubroker.properties.template file. As a result of installing a new template file, when you start up the AdminServer, the changes in the template file will be merged into your current ubroker.properties file. If your ubroker.properties file was previously sorted, you may find that the result of the merge is a file now sorted by section rather than in alphabetical order.
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS SERVICE PACK:
1. Read through the entire INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS before proceeding.
2. Make sure you read the "End User Product License Agreement" included at the end of these notes. You are agreeing to its terms and conditions by installing this Service Pack.
3. Log in as "root". If you do not know the root password for your system, check with your system administrator.
4. Make sure the "DLC" environment variable is set to the directory that contains the PROGRESS installation you want to Service Pack. If the "DLC" variable has not been set then enter one of the following commands to set it:
Shell Commands (assume "/DLC" is PROGRESS directory)
------- ----------------------------------------------
sh, ksh DLC=/dlc ; export DLC
csh setenv DLC /dlc
5. Shut down all PROGRESS processes for the installation you are going to install this Service Pack on. Check with your system administrator if you do not know how to shut down PROGRESS.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The 9.1D Service Pack installation has been engineered to offer you two key functions:
* The option to create a backup of existing files
* The ability to install only those files relevant to your license.
The Service Pack installation will ask if you want to backup existing files. If you choose to create a backup, you will have the option of changing or accepting the default backup location, and the backup will be created for only those files that are about to be updated via the Service Pack.
The Service Pack installation will then determine what Progress 9.1D license(s) have been installed. Based on that information, the install will unpack from the Service Pack archives, only the files that are relevant for the license(s) installed.
The end of the installation presents the option to review the Service Pack README file (this file) and the SP(n)-log.txt file which contains a list of files installed and backed up if a backup was executed. If you choose not to view these files at the end of the installation, they are saved in your 9.1D Install directory and can be viewed later.
STARTING THE SERVICE PACK INSTALLATION
To begin the Service Pack Installation, mount the cd to your cdrom drive, or if you have downloaded the image, unpack the image to its own directory. From a directory other than the Service Pack cdimage directory, issue the following command:
<path-to-Service-Pack-image-directory>/proinst
RECOVERING PREVIOUS INSTALLATION
If you created a backup during the Service Pack installation, you can restore your installation to its original state if so desired. Because the backup saves the files just prior to installing the Service Pack it is possible only to return to that point. If multiple Service Packs have been installed, it is not possible to roll back through each service pack unless backups have been saved for each installation in separate directories. Each backup would have to be restored in the reverse order from which they were installed.
To restore your 9.1D installation to its original state prior to installing the Service Pack, do the following:
cd <path-to-backup-directory>
cp -R * <91D-install-directory>
This will recursively copy the files saved in the backup to your 9.1D installation directory, thereby restoring the DLC area to its original state prior to installing the Service Pack.
