1.4.3 Update procedure

To update to the HiRDB update version:

  1. Install the HiRDB update version.
    The HiRDB update version requires overwrite installation. For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, overwrite installation of the HiRDB update version must be performed for each unit. For details about the installation procedure, see 2. Installation.
  2. Copy the HiRDB update version to the update directory.
    To copy the HiRDB update version stored in the installation directory to the update directory in the HiRDB directory ($PDDIR/renew), execute the following directory command of the operating HiRDB: HiRDB-update-version-installation-directory/bin/pdprgcopy. For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, execute the pdprgcopy command at the unit where the system manager is installed.
  3. Check that HiRDB is online.
    Use the pdls command to check that all units display as ACTIVE.
  4. Update to the HiRDB update version.
    To update HiRDB, execute the HiRDB-update-version-installation-directory/bin/pdprgrenew directory command of the operating HiRDB. When this command is executed, the operating HiRDB is saved to the backup directory ($PDDIR/renew_bak), at which point the operating HiRDB can be updated with the HiRDB update version copied in step 2 to the update directory. For a HiRDB/Parallel Server, execute the pdprgrenew command on the unit where the system manager is installed.
