Foreword
Corrective Pack
With HOPEX V3 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 1 on HOPEX V3 (no update), corrective Pack 2 on HOPEX V3 Update 1
• Hotfix: to delivery urgent fixes. GUI does not change.
Ex: Hotfix 02 on HOPEX V3 Update 1 Corrective Pack 2
In concrete terms, a Corrective Pack installation program is a .MSP file embedded as a .EXE file.
Example: HOPEX_V3.00.01.exe.
Each Corrective Pack is related to an update level of a major version.
Example:
HOPEX_V3.00.01.exe: this CP1 applies to HOPEX V3 (initial release, no update).
HOPEX_V3.01.01.exe: this CP1 applies to HOPEX V3 Update 1.
Corrective Packs are not cumulative.
Data upgrade can be done in the final CP
Example: to upgrade from HOPEX V3 CP1 to HOPEX V3 CP4, it is required to:
1. Install CP2 on HOPEX V3 to upgrade to HOPEX V3 CP2.
2. Install CP3 on HOPEX V3 to upgrade to HOPEX V3 CP3.
3. Install CP4 on HOPEX V3 to upgrade to HOPEX V3 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.
