Updating All Clocks

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

To configure an update for all clocks connected to the server:

  1. Determine the system download directory by checking the following registry parameter:

    /system/clocks/DOWNLOAD_DIR

  2. Create a staging directory update.a-b-c-d.dir.prep, where a-b-c-d represents the version of the update as provided by Infor.
  3. Place the fix pack or hot fix file provided by Infor in the staging directory (update.a-b-c-d.dir.prep).
  4. 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.
  5. Copy the staging directory to the system download directory on the application server.
    Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment.
  6. Rename the fix pack directory to remove the ‘.prep’ so that the directory name is now update.a-bc- d.dir. The final result, for example, would be:

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

    Note: Repeat this step for each application server node in a clustered environment.
  7. All clocks connected to the server will automatically download and apply the update on the next scheduled update as configured in each clock’s settings.conf file.
