I do not use R54 but I am using R55w and Provider-1 and the way to automate the upgrade_export process would be:
source /opt/CPshrd-R55/tmp/.CPprofile.csh cd /tmp echo "/opt/CPmds-R55" | /opt/CPmds-R55/scripts/mds_backup The key line here is: source /opt/CPshrd-R55/tmp/.CPprofile.csh You may have to change 55 to 54.

I've pasted what I have done: ------------------------------------------- bash-2.03# more /export/home/ezorrilla/cpbackup.sh FWDIR=/opt/CPfw1-54 export FWDIR YYMMDD=`getdate` $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools/upgrade_export -n /export/home/ezorrilla/BKP-CONFIG-$YYMMDD bash-2.03# ------------------------------------------- When I run the script using a crontab I get the error: bash-2.03# more bkp.rerr Checking the existence of necessary files... Error: /opt/CPfw1-54/conf/rulebases.fws does not exists, aborting upgrade Error: Not all the necessary files have been exported. Nevertheless, when I run this script inside solaris shell it works and I get: bash-2.03# $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools/upgrade_export -d -n /export/home/ezorrilla/BKP-CONFIG-$YYMMDD Checking the existence of necessary files... Copying files to temp dir... Building configuration file... Compressing the files... The export operation finished successfully. Note: /export/home/ezorrilla/BKP-CONFIG-.tgz contains your Security configuration, it is highly recommended to delete it after completing the process. Could someone tell me if you run into this issue before so that I can make it works. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
