11.4.1. Upgrading the AP Emergency Server (New Fix Release/Minor Release) Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

Procedure

The AP emergency computer regularly checks its backup sector for updated software packages. If there is a new software package there, it is copied to the AP emergency computer.

Notes

  • Upgrade performed via Software Transfer/Software Activation. This will deliver the patches and upgrade all systems (OpenScape 4000 Platform, ADP/CCA/CCB, OpenScape 4000 Assistant, OpenScape 4000 CSTA). In such case the patches are transferred by OpenScape 4000 Backup & Restore to APE and applied there by OpenScape 4000 Software Activation.
  • If an RMX upgrade was performed by replacing the HD within the context of the same major release, then the APE integrates both the RMX software and the OpenScape 4000 Assistant software. For this to function a backup is required including the install partition files. This can be selected under OpenScape 4000 Assistant > Software Management > Backup & Restore > Schedule (Backup schedule for AP Emergency) with I=Y in the last column. This function is not guaranteed for a software upgrade to a future major release.
  • If an RMX upgrade was performed by replacing the HD within the context of the same major release, then the APE integrates both the RMX software and the UW7 software (for this to function a backup is required including the new install partition files, this can be selected under HBR backup schedule for AP Emergency with I=Y in the last column). This function is not guaranteed for a software upgrade to a future major release.
  • If an RMX upgrade was performed by replacing the HD (major release switch), then the procedure is the same as a new installation and the APE integrates only the RMX software. The OpenScape 4000 Assistant software is not upgraded.
  • The APE functionality is not dependent on the OpenScape 4000 Assistant version and therefore guaranteed accordingly.
