Using the Reglue command to change the Fathom association

Each Fathom installation is associated with one particular OpenEdge product. If you have multiple versions of OpenEdge, you must have an individual Fathom installation for each version.

The Fathom reglue command, available only on the UNIX platform, allows you to change the association between a Fathom installation and an OpenEdge installation without necessarily having to uninstall and then reinstall Fathom.

When you run reglue, the FathomTrendDatabase entry is removed from the conmgr.properties file. The next time you open Fathom in a browser, you see the Fathom Management Configuration page and can choose initial configuration options.

Note: You can also run the reglue command without having run unglue; in this case, the command performs both the unglue and the reglue.
Ungluing and then regluing Fathom to a different OpenEdge installation

  3. The syntax for the command is:

    where fathom-install-dir is the complete pathname of the directory where you installed Fathom.

    The following prompt appears:

  4. Press Y to complete the unglue.
  5. Run the Fathom Management reglue command in a terminal window.
  6. The syntax for the command is:
