Upgrade

What is it?​

The upgrade procedure replaces the XP2 Connector scripts with a newer version while preserving all configuration files. You must back up configuration files before extracting the new distribution to avoid overwriting customized settings.

  • Perform this upgrade when a new version of the XP2 Connector distribution is released
  • Use this procedure to replace scripts only — configuration files are backed up and restored separately

Upgrade steps​

To upgrade the XP2 Connector, complete the following steps:

  1. FTP the distribution file to /ops/bin in binary.
  2. Log in to the machine as root.
  3. Change to the /ops/bin directory by entering:
cd /ops/bin
  1. Copy all configuration (INI) files to the /tmp directory. The configuration files consist of: 
cp MSGIN.ini /tmp
cp SMAFetchControlNumber.ini /tmp
cp autoreply.ini /tmp
cp run_xp_job.ini /tmp
  1. Untar the distribution file in the /ops/bin directory:
tar -xvf XP2Applications-20.00.00.tar
  1. Move the configuration files back into /ops/bin to restore the configuration:
mv /tmp/MSGIN.ini /ops/bin
mv /tmp/SMAFetchControlNumber.ini /ops/bin
mv /tmp/autoreply.ini /ops/bin
mv /tmp/run_xp_job.ini /ops/bin
