Installation and Configuration Guide
Version 9
for Windows
Saving an Existing Progress Installation
If you have an existing Progress installation, you might want to save certain pieces of it to make configuring your new installation simpler. If you want to continue using any templates, customized procedure or code files, or a
progress.ini
file, you must copy them to another location before you begin a new installation. Follow these steps:
- If you have any Version 8 templates that you want to continue using, copy them to another location before installing Version 9. See Table 2–1 for a complete list of Version 8 templates.
Table 2–1 lists the Version 8 templates located in
%DLC%\src\template
that are no longer supplied with Version 9. (%DLC%
represents the Progress installation path.)
NOTE: Thecustom.txt
file, which is delivered with Version 9, is a subset of install-path\src\template\progress.cst
.- If you have information in a
progress.ini
file that you want to continue using, copy the currentprogress.ini
file to a directory other than where you are installing Progress.- If you have any customized procedure or code files in the directory where you are installing Progress, copy them into a different directory.
For more information on saving previous versions of your
progress.ini
, customized procedures, or code files, see the "Finishing the Installation" section.- If you have an earlier version of Progress and the PROMSGS environment variable is set in the
autoexec.bat
file on Window 98, or on the Environment tab of the System settings in the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Control Panel, you must remove the PROMSGS environment variable before installing Progress Version 9. If PROMSGS points to an old or nonexistent PROMSGS file, the InstallShield utility will not write all the necessary data to the Windows registry.NOTE: Progress Version 9 requires that your databases be converted to a multi-volume structure. If you are using single-volume databases with Progress Version 8, you must convert your Version 8 databases to a multi-volume structure before converting the databases to Version 9. (Note that you must truncate your BI file in Version 8 before converting to Version 9.) If you plan to replace Progress Version 8 files with Version 9 files, complete this step before installing Version 9 and avoid erasing your Progress Version 8 files.- Truncate the before-image (.bi) file using the PROUTIL TRUNCATE BI utility and back up your Version 8.x database using the PROBKUP utility. For more information on these utilities, see the “Administration Utilities” chapter in the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference .
- Make copies of your
ubroker.properties
,conmgr.properties
, andproxygen.preferences
files to another directory. The new installation automatically upgrades the files in the install-path\properties
directory. After you have finished your new installation, replace the newly installed versions of these files with your copies. When you start the AdminServer, your older files will be updated to match the current standards for these files.When you uninstall an existing Progress Version 9 product, the process copies
ubroker.properties
,conmgr.properties
, andproxygen.preferences
, the three files in the install-path\properties
directory, to\TEMP
. After installing a new Progress Version 9 product, you can manually copy back the files from\TEMP
.
