Manual Software Update Installation Procedure

To install Software Update packages manually:

  1. Place the desired Software Update package in product-directory\updates\packages on the node that requires the update. Make a note of the package name for use in Step 4.

  2. Open a DPX command prompt on Windows or a command shell on UNIX or Linux. If you are running Win2k8, see the Procedure for Opening a Command Prompt.

  3. On that node where the Software Update Package was placed, set the proper environmental variable PATH for accessing the java command or, in Step 4 below, specify the path to the java runtime environment (JRE). Use the JRE provided by DPX at the following location on the node: Windows: product-directory\tools\jre\bin Linux: product-directory/misc/jre/bin

  4. Run the following command from product-directory\updates\packages: Windows:

    ..\.. \tools\jre\bin\java.exe -jar <package-name> .jar

    Linux:

    ../.. /misc/jre/bin/java -jar <package-name> .jar

  5. Follow the instructions displayed by the installer to complete the installation.
