Updating all clocks

The simplest update modifies all the clocks in the environment with the same fix pack or configuration update.

  1. Determine the system download directory by checking this registry parameter:
    /system/clocks/DOWNLOAD_DIR
  2. Create an update directory on your local server named update.a-b-c-d.dir, where a-b-c-d represents the version of the update provided by Infor.
  3. Place the fix pack or hot fix file provided by Infor in the update directory (update.a-b-c-d.dir).
  4. Optionally, retain or apply any custom configuration settings or copy custom files to the clocks.
    See Configuration updates for the clock.
  5. Copy the update directory that you created in the previous steps to the system download directory on the application server.
    Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment.
  6. After the update directory has been copied to the system download directory, place an empty text file named update.ready in the system download directory.
    If there is no update.ready file, then your clocks do not see the directory and do not start processing the upgrade.
    Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment.

    All clocks connected to the server automatically download and apply the update on the next scheduled update.
