Creating a file update dependency

If previous updates are required before the current update can be installed, you must create a file update dependency.

To create a file update dependency:

  1. Create a deploy_scripts folder in the latest update directory. For example, update repository\update.5-0-21-0.dir\deploy_scripts.
  2. Create a text file called dependency.
  3. In this file, specify the version number of the previous update required by the current update. For example, the dependency file for 5-0-21-0 contains: 
    5-0-20-0
  4. If there are multiple updates required, repeat these steps for the previous updates. For example, if 5-0-20-0 required 5-0-19-0 to run, you must create a dependency file with 5-0-19-0 in the 5-0- 20-0 deploy_scripts subdirectory. This operation creates a dependency chain.
