Since this is a second server (I take it the 1st and the db is already on patch 20), run the installer and select SHARED for the server type. If you choose UPGRADE the installer will update the database, if you choose SHARED the installer will not change the database. Fred

Since the production database has already been upgraded to patch 20 then I would think re-running the installer on the other box would do nothing to the database. I believe it checks a table (control???) for the dbase patch version. 2. If the other box has version of ARS (say p19 installed) could you not just copy the entire ARS directory (/opt/ar/ or /usr/ar) from the p20 server to the new other server? This would capture all ARS binaries, libs, so, etc. I do remember seeing something about how p20 file down load did not include all of the files, and that users had to download the installer to get the missing ones.

We are creating a server group so I can't use the installer to install the patch as it will touch the production database. So I'm copying files directly. While following the directions to do this under Unix, I noticed that there is no "server" binary in the patch 20 files (arservora). Also, I am a little confused on steps 3 and 5. "3) Copy the new patched binaries to the ARSystem installation directory." Is this referring to the libiuc*bmc.so*, libxerces*bmc.so*, libxalan*bmc.so* files that are listed under the "For Solaris:" part under the "Files Patched" portion of the readme file? "5) Copy the other patched files into the ARSystem installation directory." And, is this referring to the "File Patched: Unix and Linux" portion of the readme file? Since I can't seem to find the arservora to rename it to arserverd, I can't complete step 6. I usually use the installer to do the patches, so this is my first time coping files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob Halstead Bresnan Communications __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ -- Frank Caruso Specific Integration, Inc.
