Upgrading an Existing Progress Installation
If you have an existing Progress Version 8 or earlier installation, follow these steps before you begin to install Version 9:
- Make sure that the ULIMIT is set to at least 8MB and at least 128 file descriptors. For specific instructions on setting the ULIMIT on your system, consult its man page by typing man ulimit at the command prompt.
- Truncate the
before-image
(.bi) file of any existing database using the PROUTIL TRUNCATE BI utility. Back up your Version 8.x database using the PROBKUP utility. For more information on the PROUTIL TRUNCATE BI and PROBKUP utilities, see the “Administration Utilities” chapter in the Progress Database Administration Guide and Reference .- Make copies of your
ubroker.properties
andconmgr.properties
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.- Make sure you are installing the software into a directory other than the directory from which you are running the Installation Utility.
