Updating Specific Clocks
You can configure updates for specific clocks regardless of type by doing the following:
-
Ensure the
wbsynch.webservice.serverName
setting in the settings.conf file of each clock has been set to the clock’s name. -
Determine the system download directory by checking the following
registry parameter:
/system/clocks/DOWNLOAD_DIR
-
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,WB8000- Cafeteria
. - 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.
- Place the fix pack or hot fix file provided by Infor in the staging directory (update.a-b-c-d.dir.prep).
- 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.
-
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.
-
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>/WB8000-Cafe/< update.a-b-c-d.dir >/
Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment. - 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.
