Note that during the installation process if you are upgrading a previous installation, you select the previous versions, installation directory during installationmust select the previous installation base directory for the DBVISIT_BASE.
Example, if you have Dbvisit Standby version 6 installed in /usr/local/dbvisit then you have to install version 7 in the same location.
During the installation, the version 6 DDC files located in DBVISIT_BASE/standby directory (example /usr/local/dbvisit/standby/dbv_PROD.env) will be upgraded to version 7 DDC files and will be copied to the new conf directory under the standby sub directory (example /usr/local/dbvisit/standby/conf/dbv_PROD.env) - Update the Dbvisit Standby Repository
- Update the Dbvisit Standby Configuration files (Only required if already on Version 7 and updating to a later version - 7.0.xOptional if you want to edit parameters as part of the upgrade)
- Remove any old temporary files (*.dbv) that might be located in the DBVISIT_BASE/standby/tmp directory (example /usr/dbvisit/standby/tmp/)
- Start Dbvserver and Dbvnet if you did not select the auto start during the installation of the new software
- Start your Dbvisit Standby schedules
