Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Upgrading an existing OpenEdge or Progress installation on UNIX platforms

If you have OpenEdge or Progress installed, you can upgrade to the most recent OpenEdge release.

To upgrade to OpenEdge:

Make sure that the ULIMIT is set to at least 8MB and at least 128 file descriptors. For specific instructions on setting the ULIMIT on your system, consult its man page by typing man ulimit at the command prompt.
Truncate the before-image (.bi) file of any existing database using the PROUTIL TRUNCATE BI utility. Back up your Progress database using the PROBKUP utility. For more information on the PROUTIL TRUNCATE BI and PROBKUP utilities, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration .
Make copies of your ubroker.properties and conmgr.properties files to another directory. The new installation automatically upgrades the files in the install-path/properties directory. (However, note that the full PATH to DLC is not updated automatically. You must edited it manually.) After you have finished your new installation, replace the newly installed versions of these files with your copies. When you start the AdminServer, your older files will be updated to match the current standards for these files.
Make sure you are installing the software into a directory other than the directory from which you are running the Installation Utility.
