What is an update?
An Update provides a consistent set of fixes and evolutions on existing functionalities, and/or new functionalities.
Its purpose is to deliver corrections, evolutions and/or new functionalities, in-between Versions.
An Update is specific to a Version
In concrete terms, an update (U) installation program is an .EXE file.
Example: HOPEX_V2R1_U03.0.exe
The .EXE files provided for HOPEX Software do not allow skipping update levels. For each upgrade level, the installation of an .EXE file is necessary.
For example, to upgrade from HOPEX V2R1 Update 1 to HOPEX V2R1 Update 3:
• Install an EXE file #1 to upgrade from HOPEX V2R1 Update 1 to HOPEX V2R1 Update 2.
• Install an EXE file #2 to upgrade from HOPEX V2R1 Update 2 HOPEX V2R1 Update 3.
• Run the 'Environment Automatic Update' feature.
As a consequence, verify the expected update level is required before installing an update.
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.
