Upgrading SPD Server 4.x to SPD Server 4.5
Overview of Upgrading from SPD Server 4.x to SPD Server 4.5
SPD Server 4.x tables are compatible for use with SPD Server 4.5. No conversion is
required to use SPD Server 4.x tables with SPD Server 4.5. You can start SPD Server 4.5
using domains that include tables created by any SPD Server 4.x host.
Configuring SPD Server Host Software for Your
Site
After you install SPD Server 4.5, you must configure SPD Server to run on your server
machine. The SPD Server 4.5 installation contains only 64-bit components.
Complete the following steps to install the SPD Server system:
1.
For ksh users:
export PATH=$PATH:InstallDir/bin
For csh users:
set path = ($path InstallDir/bin)
2.
Six files need to be copied from the InstallDir/samples directory to the
InstallDir/site directory:
rc.spds
pwdb
spdsserv.parm
killrc
libnames.parm
rc.perf
3.
In the InstallDir/site directory, edit the pwdb script file.
Note: Depending on the shell that you are running, you have to make minor
modifications to the script file.
The pwdb file configuration must be modified to point to the INSTDIR= path, the path
where your copy of SPD Server is installed.
The INSTDIR= path in your pwdb file should be changed to
INSTDIR=<explicit UNIX path to your SPD Server Installation Directory>
4.
Invoke the pwdb script from the /site subdirectory to create an initial SPD Server
password file. The password file is created in InstallDir/ by executing the
following command:
pwdb
First, use the Password Manager groupdef command to define a group called admingrp.
Next, use the Password Manager add command to add an SPD Server user ID for
yourself. (This is assuming that you are the SPD Server administrator). Both the
