5.4 Backing Up Files

There are certain files that you need to back up prior to the installation and then restore after the installation is complete. Any modifications that you made to these files are overwritten when the new Oracle Tuxedo software is installed.

Follow these steps to avoid having to modify these files again:

1. Back up the RM file to a temporary location. The RM file contains database vendor-specific settings that are used by commands such as buildtms and buildXAJS. It is located in the tux_prod_dir/udataobj directory, where tux_prod_dir is the directory in which you installed the Oracle Tuxedo.
2. Back up the CATNAMES, jrepository, and jrly.config files. The CATNAMES file is located in the tux_prod_dir/localedirectory. The jrepository file is located in the tux_prod_dir/udataobj/jolt/repository/ directory structure and the jrly.config file is located in the tux_prod_dir/udataobj/jolt/relay/ directory structure.
3. Move any files that you added to the tux_prod_dir directory to a temporary location.
4. After the installation is complete, restore these files to their original locations.
