Manually Invoking the Upgrade Wizard on UNIX

The following procedure describes how to manually invoke the Upgrade Wizard on UNIX platforms.

To manually invoke the Upgrade Wizard on UNIX

1. Open a shell on the UNIX server where the Regional Node Server is installed.

2. Navigate to the SIEBSRVR_ROOT/BIN directory, where SIEBSRVR_ROOT is the root directory of the Regional Node Server installation.

3. Execute the file srvrupgwiz to start the Upgrade Wizard.

   Follow the prompts on the wizard pages.

4. Restart the Regional Node Server.

5. Repeat the previous steps on any other Regional Node Server, as appropriate.

If the Upgrade Wizard fails, then an error message is logged. Exit the Upgrade Wizard, correct the condition that caused the error, and restart the Upgrade Wizard using the copy of the siebupg.exe file. Upon restarting, Upgrade Wizard prompts you either to cancel the upgrade, restoring the Regional Node Server to its preupgrade state (if possible), or to retry the upgrade from the point of failure. You must restart the Regional Node Server to initiate a version check to restart the upgrade process. To restart, choose Retry.

The Regional Node Server will be down until you successfully recover from the failed upgrade. This downtime can affect many users. After a successful installation of an upgrade, it will take manual intervention to roll it back.
