4.6.1 Preparations before upgrading an HADB client

You must perform the following tasks before you attempt to upgrade an HADB client.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Check environment variables

When an HADB client is upgraded, the values of environment variables might change. For details, see 4.3 Specifying environment variables.

(2) Check the client definition

When an HADB client is upgraded, some client definition default values might change. If you have set client definition operands to their default values, see 2.2 Contents of operands in the client definition and check whether operand values have been changed.

Note that the following operand cannot be specified in the client definition of HADB client version 03-00 or later. If you are using version 03-00 or later and this operand is specified, delete it from the client definition.

(3) Back up the client directories

Before you upgrade your HADB client, back up the client directories.

Delete the backup after you have confirmed that the new version operates correctly.
