Solaris Web Start Post-Installation and Upgrade Tasks

After you install or upgrade the Solaris operating environment, you might need to perform these tasks.

To Correct Local Modifications After Upgrading

When you upgrade, the Solaris Web Start program merges local software modifications of the existing system with the new Solaris software. However, in some situations, merging is not possible. After you finish upgrading a system, you might need to correct some local modifications that were not preserved.

Your system might not boot if you do not correct the local modifications that were not preserved.

1. Review the contents of the following file to determine whether you need to correct local modifications that the Solaris Web Start program could not preserve.

   /a/var/sadm/system/data/upgrade_cleanup

2. Correct any local modifications that were not preserved.

3. Reboot the system.

   # reboot

To Save And Access the Kiosk

If you want to use the Kiosk after you install the Solaris software, you can copy the Kiosk to your system by clicking Save Kiosk on System. The Kiosk is saved in the /var/sadm/webstart/kiosk directory.

To access the Kiosk, after you install the Solaris software and reboot, follow these steps.

1. Open Netscape Communicator.

2. Open the /var/sadm/webstart/kiosk/index.html file.

3. In the CDE Style Manager, check Point In Window To Make Active and uncheck Raise Window When Made Active.
