PQ79172: WAS V4: No documentation for upgrading the Sequelink driver from V5.2 to V5.3

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
WAS V4: No documentation for upgrading the Sequelink driver from
V5.2 to V5.3
Local fix
Possible solution from PMR text, not confirmed yet:

You have to upgrade client and server component.
1. upgrading the client component is overriding the old jar
files with new jar files
2. upgrading the server component is installing the 5.3 server
server component on top of the 5.2 server component (that comes
comes with Standard installer, you need to run the installation
executable file and follow the gui screens)

You need to delete all the datasources first then JDBC Providers
and remove the sljc.jar, sljcx.jar from the AppServer\lib dir
and copy the new sljc.jar, spy-sl53.jar and re-create the JDBC
Providers and datasources.

Documentation needs to be provided in the 4.0.x InfoCenter
that instructs the user how to upgrade the Sequelink driver
from V5.2 to V5.3.

"Installing the Advanced Edition using Merant SequeLink with
SQL Server Enterprise in a Custom installation on Windows"

Upgrading the Sequelink driver from Version 5.2 to Version 5.3
When upgrading the Sequelink driver from Version 5.2 to
Version 5.3, you need to upgrade the client and server
component.

When you upgrade the client component the old Java archive
(JAR) files are updated with the new JAR files.

When you upgrade the server component, the Version 5.3 server
component is installed on top of the Version 5.2 server
component.

Version 5.2 comes with the WebSphere Application Server
Standard installer. Run the installation executable file and
follow the graphical user interface (GUI) screens.

Make sure to delete all the datasources first. Then delete the
JDBC providers and remove the sljc.jar and sljcx.jar files
from the AppServer\lib directory. Copy the new sljc.jar and
spy-sl53.jar files and re-create the JDBC providers and
datasources.
Problem conclusion
The updated information will be available to the customers
in the V4.0.7 InfoCenter after 10/31/2003.
