Before you install a hot fix (or update), quit all Databridge applications including the Console, and then terminate the service (daemon on UNIX). After the installation is complete, restart the service/daemon manually. In the case of Windows Installations there is a checkbox in the last dialog of the post-install program "updatepath" that allows you do this without having to go through the Windows control panel).
IMPORTANT:To avoid potential problems, we strongly recommend that you upgrade the Host, Enterprise Server, software simultaneously.
If you're updating the Client software, you must also update the Client Console as the older console is incompatible with the 6.5 service.
Databridge Host
On the MCP Server, upload DB65xxxxx.con using binary or image file transfer (where xxxx can be "HOTFIX" or "UPDATE" depending on the type of release).
ftp my_aseries_host <login> bin put DB65xxxxx.con DB65xxxxx
Log on to the Databridge usercode on the host and go to CANDE.
To unwrap encapsulated files in the DB65xxxxx file, use the following command:
WFL UNWRAP *= AS = OUTOF DB65xxxxx TO DISK (RESTRICTED=FALSE)
Databridge Client, Client Console and Enterprise Server
On Windows, open the Windows32 or Windows64 folder of the Hot Fix or Update and double-click the file databridge.D65xxxx.Wnn.exe. All installed components such as the Client, the Console, or Enterprise Server will be updated.
On UNIX, upload the appropriate tar files for the Client and Console from the update to the directories where these components are installed. (the Client and Console should be installed in separate directories to facilitate maintenance.) If you use Windows to process the extract of the tar file from the zip file, you must transfer the tar file to UNIX using binary FTP.
Continue by using the following command:
tar -xvf <filename>
where <filename> is the full name of the tar file. This command replaces the files in the Databridge install directory with updated files from the tar file.
NOTE:To avoid accidentally deleting the Databridge applications, we recommend that you always keep the install directory and the working directory separate.
