Updating Specific Clocks

You can configure updates for specific clocks regardless of type by doing the following:

  1. Ensure the wbsynch.webservice.serverName setting in the settings.conf file of each clock has been set to the clock’s name.
  2. Determine the system download directory by checking the following registry parameter:

    /system/clocks/DOWNLOAD_DIR

  3. Create subdirectories with the exact clock names specified in wbsynch.webservice.serverName for each clock that you want to update in the system download directory. For example, WB9000- Cafeteria.
  4. Create a staging directory as update.a-b-c-d.dir.prep, where a-b-c-d represents the version of the update as provided by Infor.
  5. Place the fix pack or hot fix file provided by Infor in the staging directory (update.a-b-c-d.dir.prep).
  6. If you want to retain or apply any custom configuration settings or copy custom files to the clock(s), see Configuration Updates for the Clock.
  7. Copy the staging directory to the directory specified in step 3 on the application server.
    Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment.
  8. Rename the fix pack directory to remove the '.prep' so that the directory name is now update.a-bc- d.dir. For example:

    /<system download directory>/WB9000-Cafe/< update.a-b-c-d.dir >/

    Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment.
  9. The above-specified clock will automatically download and apply the update on the next scheduled update as configured in the clock's settings.conf file.
