Updating the Catalogic DPX Master Server from a Local Repository

Take the following steps to update the Catalogic DPX Master Server by using the update shell script:

  1. From your web browser, sign in to the Catalogic Software MySupport website.

  2. Go to the product page for Catalogic DPX 4.8.0 if you are using the virtual appliance series. Otherwise, go to the product page for Version 4.8.1. See the section Software Updates and the subsection Master Server appliance update. DPX Core Updates. Download the Java archive (JAR) file for the operating system that you are using.

Tip. You will apply the update files to every node in your backup Enterprise.

  1. In the Catalogic DPX Master Server, locate the repository directory: 

    <product-directory>/updates/packages/

    In Catalogic DPX for Microsoft Windows, use backslashes (\) instead of the slashes (/).

    Copy the JAR file to the repository directory in the system to update.

Attention! Do not rename the JAR file.

The software update system uses a graphical user interface and deploys the updates to remote nodes. Alternatively, you can install software update packages manually at the node that requires the update.

Note that you can identify the update level on any node by examining the contents of the patches.level file located in the <product-directory>\updates folder on that node. <product-directory> is the main DPX directory. At the end of the manual update process, the contents of the patches.level file are automatically updated.
