9 RPAS Package Extraction

The first step in upgrading to the most recent installation is to download the 14.1.2 release from the My Oracle Support Web site (https://support.oracle.com) to a staging folder (such as $PACKAGEDIR) that is accessible to all components of your current RPAS environment.

Example Package Extraction

The following example describes a sample upgrade installation. These sample commands are provided to guide you through the file extraction process and to identify the files provided in this upgrade.

$ mkdir packagedir
$ cp rpas.zip packagedir
$ cd packagedir
$ export PACKAGEDIR=`pwd`
$ unzip rpas.zip

The following items may be extracted to the current directory:

ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.aix71.tar.zip
ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.aix71.tar.zip
ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.sun10.tar.zip
ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.linux.tar.zip
ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.nt.zip
ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.clients.zip
Curve14.1.2.zip
Grade14.1.2.zip
FusionClient.zip
README.html
DOCS folder

Note: The file, ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.clients.zip, is an archive of the RPAS Classic Client and ODBC Client for all platforms. The Curve and Grade documentation sets which were previously included in the DOCS folder are now combined with the Oracle Retail Demand Forecasting (RDF) documentation. This documentation is available within the RDF package and on the following Web site: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/oracle_retail.html

At this point, you must choose which package you wish to extract, based on your current server platform and version. AIX 7.1 is used for the purpose of the following example.

Next, run the following commands.

$ unzip ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.aix71.tar.zip

$ tar -xf ARPOPlatform-14.1.2.aix71.tar

Now the package directory should contain a subdirectory named ARPOPlatform. You have successfully completed extracting the upgrade.
