System operators or engineers who upgrade DNCS software need the following 
skills: 

 

Advanced knowledge of UNIX  

Experience with the UNIX vi editor. Several times throughout the system 

upgrade process system files are edited using the UNIX vi editor. The UNIX 

vi editor is not intuitive. The instructions provided in this guide are no 

substitute for an advanced working knowledge of vi.  

The ability to review and edit cron files 

 

Extensive DBDS system expertise  

The ability to identify keyfiles that are unique to the site being upgraded 

The ability to add and remove user accounts 

Before beginning the upgrade to SR i4.2.2, be sure that the site you are upgrading 
meets these requirements: 

 

You have the DVD labeled SR i4.2.2 DVD in order to complete the required 

backups of the database and the filesystem. 

 

The latest version of DBDS Utilities is installed on your system. 

If the site you are upgrading supports a non-SA Application Server, contact the 
vendor of that Application Server in order to obtain upgrade requirements, as 
well as upgrade and rollback procedures. 
If the site you are upgrading runs a third-party software application, contact the 
supplier of that application in order to obtain any upgrade requirements. 
Important:  Be certain that all third-party vendors are aware that the SR i4.2.2 
upgrade is built upon a Solaris 10 software platform.
