Foreword
Corrective Pack
With HOPEX V2R1 there are several levels of changes:
• Update: to deliver improvement and fixes. GUI can change.
Ex: Update 2, Update 3, Update 4
• Corrective Pack (CP): to deliver fixes only within an update. GUI should not change.
Ex: Corrective Pack 2 on HOPEX V2R1 Update 3
• Hotfix: to delivery urgent fixes. GUI does not change.
Ex: Hotfix 02 on HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 Corrective Pack 2
In concrete terms, a Corrective Pack installation program is a .MSP file embedded as a .EXE file.
Example: HOPEX_V2R1_U03.02.0.exe.
Each Corrective Pack is related to an update level of a major version.
Example: Corrective Pack 2 (HOPEX_V2R1_U03.02.0.exe) applies to HOPEX V2R1 Update 3
Corrective Packs are not cumulative.
Data upgrade can be done in the final CP.
Example: to upgrade from HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 CP1 to HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 CP4, it is required to:
1. Install CP2 to upgrade to HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 CP2.
2. Install CP3 upgrade to HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 CP3.
3. Install CP4 to upgrade to HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 CP4.
4. Run the 'Environment Automatic Update' feature.
As a consequence, verify the expected update level is installed before installing a Corrective Pack.
Before proceeding, make sure that, for all the HOPEX environments to upgrade:
• Data is backed up (physical backup).
• The password of the login System is known.
This is very important since it will be requested to login with the login System.
Note that the term FixPack was renamed to Corrective Pack.
