Foreword
Hotfix
A hotfix provides a consistent set of changes, mainly error fixes.
In concrete terms, a hotfix installation program is a .MSP file.
Example: HOPEX_V2R1_U01_HF00.01.msp
The hotfixes provided for HOPEX Software are cumulative.
Example: Hotfix 01.03 also includes fixes of Hotfix 01.01 and Hotfix 01.02.
Each hotfix is related to an update (U) level and possibly to a Corrective Pack (CP) level.
Example:
Hotfix 01 for HOPEX V2R1 Update 1.
Hotfix 01 for HOPEX V2R1 Update 3 Corrective Pack 2.
As a consequence, verify the expected Update level or Corrective Pack level is installed before installing a hotfix.
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.
