GOAL:
Can the same version of Progress be installed several times on the same machine with different Service Packs ?
GOAL:
How to install the same version of OpenEdge but with different service packs on the same machine.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
On Windows machines
There is no way to run the same version of Progress in the same machine with different Service Packs unless you have virtual machines on the same OS. To do this you will need to have an external tool:
There are several tools in the market that allows to have virtual machines on the same OS Box.
For example VMWARE.
On UNIX machines
You can install within different directories same Progress version with a different service pack in each directory.
The only restriction would be to make sure $DLC/bin is first for $PATH (so that scripts in /usr/bin from another version/service_pack are not used)
Example:
If your current installation directory is /usr/dlc and you add a second install for a different service pack at
/usr/dlcSP2, to use this new install you need to set the following environment variables:
DLC=/usr/dlcSP; export DLC
PATH=$DLC/bin:$PATH; export PATH
