Application Server 3.1.2 Installation Instructions
Overview
Introduction
This chapter provides procedures for installing the Application Server 3.1.2 software.
Required Skills and Expertise
System operators or engineers who upgrade the Application Server to Application
Server 3.1.2 need advanced knowledge of the UNIX vi editor. To install Application
Server 3.1.2, you may need to use the UNIX vi editor to modify the parameters of

The optimum time to upgrade your system is when you are least likely to intrude on
subscribers’ purchasing opportunities and least likely to impact your revenue-
generating opportunities.

Traditionally, upgrades have been done during the night between 11:00 P.M. and
6:00 A.M. However, systems can be upgraded anytime during the day or night. You
know your system and the habits of your subscribers better than anyone else. If
your system typically experiences a significant increase in revenue-generating
activity in the evening, such as from anything-On-Demand (xOD), video-on-demand
(VOD), or pay-per-view (PPV) purchases, consider upgrading your system during
the day. For example, you may determine that there is little interactivity or few
revenue-generating opportunities occurring in the early morning. If so, morning
may be the best time to upgrade your system. Your subscriber base can continue to
watch digital broadcasts (as long as the DHCT is not rebooted) and analog TV
programs, without interruption, while the system is being upgraded.
