Copy the new BEA SALT installation directories/files over the existing one.
Click ‘Yes”. This option overwrites the previous installation.
It is highly recommended that you shutdown all of your Tuxedo/SALT applications before reinstalling BEA SALT.
Return to choose another BEA Home directory for BEA SALT installation.
Click “No”. This option does not overwrite the previous installation. Click “Previous” to choose another BEA Home directory for BEA SALT installation.
Exit the installation program.
Click “Cancel”. This option terminates the BEA SALT installation program without taking any action.
Invoke the uninstall the previous BEA SALT installation program (see Uninstalling BEA SALT), and then reinstall the software as described in one of the following:
BEA SALT 2.0 uses rolling patches to maintain product fixes. A rolling patch installation is a complete BEA SALT package containing the most recent software fixes. Rolling patches can be installed as follows:
A BEA SALT 2.0 rolling patch installation can be used if there is no previous BEA SALT installation on the target Tuxedo directory.
A BEA SALT 2.0 rolling patch installation can be used to overwrite an existing BEA SALT GA installation.
A higher-level BEA SALT 2.0 rolling patch installation can be used to overwrite an existing lower-level BEA SALT 2.0 rolling patch installation.
Rolling Back to A Previous Installation
To roll back a higher-level patched BEA SALT 2.0 installation to a lower one, you must do the following:
Un-install BEA SALT 2.0.
Re-install the lower-level SALT 2.0 rolling patch installation program.
