The next section will provide a more detail overview of the upgrade steps.
Step 1: Stop your Dbvisit Standby schedules, Dbvserver (GUI) and Dbvnet
Stopping the Schedules
All schedules should be disabled on all servers involved in the Dbvisit Standby configuration.
- If you make use of the Unix CRON scheduler for Dbvisit, it is recommended to disable these schedules before performing the upgrade.
- If you are using the Dbvisit Scheduler - available in the web based GUI, you will need to first login to the current GUI installation and disable all schedules on all primary and standby nodes. The Scheduler menu can be found under the "Run" main menu option.
If you are already making use of Dbvisit Standby version 7 and upgrading to a new update of version 7, please make sure you stop both Dbvserver (GUI) and Dbvnet (Networking) before you start the upgrade process.
If you are upgrading from a version prior to version 7, example version 6.0.54 then you only need to stop Dbvserver (GUI) as Dbvnet was not part of previous releases.
Stoping Dbvserver
To stop Dbvserver (the web based front-end), run the command "./dbvserverd stop" from the DBVISIT_BASE/dbvserver directory:
| No Format |
