Update scenarios on Windows NT platform

This section describes the necessary steps to upgrade the code of the TME 10 Netfinity Server V4.0 from any prior modification level to the latest one. Only update from level 1 to 3 has been tested, and while updates from other level have not been verified, it is applicable.

Limitation

Space Requirements

You need 50MB of free space on preparation site. This includes also temporary space that can be freed after installation complete.

How to perform the update on Windows NT

On preparation site the following steps have to be done:

• Copy the content of the CLIENTNT directory from the CD_ROM into a temporary directory.
• Moreover copy into the same directory the following files:

24/02/97 16.32 23.040 NFSRSTOP.EXE 
24/02/97 16.23 73.220 update.ins 
18/02/97 13.38 176.902 _setup.lib
30/09/96 10.06 6.128 _SETUP.DLL 
04/11/96 15.04 44.928 setup.exe
05/11/96 18.17 320.276 _INST32I.EX_
06/02/97 18.27 30.720 SVUNINST.exe 
21/02/97 11.21 27.704 POST.EX 
21/02/97 11.19 27.692 PRE.EXE 
These file are in the UPDV403.ZIP file released with this document. 

• Write three profiles:
• One profile to save the content of the Configuration Notebook
• One profile to install the product
• One profile to restore the content of the Configuration Notebook
• Generate the response file

Following there are three examples, one for each profile.

GLOBAL NAME: NFS.NT.PRE.REF.4.0.3

DESCRIPTION: NetFinity Server CLient Windows NT

CHANGE FILE TYPE: GEN

COMPRESSION TYPE: LZW

POST-INSTALL: D:\tmp\pre.exe

DEFAULT TOKEN: NewDir=D:\tmp

OBJECT: SOURCE NAME: d:\tmp\pre.exe

TARGET NAME: d:\tme10\pre.exe

TYPE: FILE

ACTION: COPY

Sample profile.1

GLOBAL NAME: NFS.NT.REF.4.0.3

DESCRIPTION: NetFinity Server CLient Windows NT

POST-INSTALL: D:\tmp\setup.exe -s -fD:\tmp\update.ins -f1D:\tmp\setup.iss

DEFAULT TOKEN: NewDir=D:\tmp

OBJECT: SOURCE NAME: $(NewDir)\*.*

TARGET NAME: D:\tme10\*.*

TYPE: FILE

ACTION: COPY

Sample profile.2

GLOBAL NAME: NFS.NT.POST.REF.4.0.3

DESCRIPTION: NetFinity Server CLient Windows NT

CHANGE FILE TYPE: GEN

COMPRESSION TYPE: LZW

POST-INSTALL: D:\tmp\post.exe

DEFAULT TOKEN: NewDir=D:\temp

OBJECT: SOURCE NAME: d:\tmp\post.exe

TARGET NAME: d:\tme10\post.exe

TYPE: FILE

ACTION: COPY

Sample profile.3

To generate the response file run the command

setup -fupdate.ins -r

The resulting setup.iss file can be used in a silent mode to make a clone installation on other machine. After you have prepared the profiles and the response files on the preparation site, check if the connection with the Software Distribution server is up. Run from any command prompt the command

nvdm start

Then build the catalogues, from the preparation site type:

nvdm bld profile.1

nvdm bld profile.2

nvdm bld profile.3

On the server check if the profiles have been catalogued

nvdm ls "global name"

Then run the installation:

nvdm inst "global_name_1" -w "workstation name" -n -f

nvdm inst "global_name_2" -w "workstation name" -n -f

nvdm act -w "workstation name" -f

nvdm inst "global_name_3" -w "workstation name" -n -f
