Installation Activities BEFORE Loading

Console screen
A console screen ('green screen') must be used for all of the installation activities mentioned here (ASPECT4 Client may not be used).

Receiving Software
Sign in with your own user and perform 'Install ASPECT4 software' (application 0590). Performed with 'Receiving' (option 1).

Loading

EGSERVER or VAP subsystem
The EGSERVER subsystem must be closed. This is done with the command:
ENDSBS SBS(EGSERVER) DELAY(30) ENDSBSOPT(*NOJOBLOG).
(when loading into test, it is not necessary to close EGSERVER, but make sure that everything is shut down in the test environment. Once EGSERVER has been restarted during the night, the test environment will be able to be used again. Alternatively, everything can be restarted again via appl. 0653)

Installation
When EGSERVER has stopped (checked using WRKSBS), the update must be installed. This is done in application 0590 'Install ASPECT4 software'. Select option 2 'Install.'

Remember to sign-off AFTER the update is installed.

Installation Activities AFTER Loading

Sign off and sign on again.
This update includes new menu applications that need to be enabled. The user who is logged in makes an extra sign off and sign on before other users join the environment.
If the new menu programs are not activated, it may take a long time to sign on.

Conversion Runs
Sign in again with your own user.
Select application 0690 'Conversion Runs'. Select system 400. Initiate the conversion with F16.
It's important that the conversion happens in the environment that needs to be updated.

Start EGSERVER (or VAP)
The EGSERVER subsystem needs to be started. On a command line, use the command STRSBS SBSD(EGSERVER). With EGSERVER, all the servers mentioned in application 0653 are automatically started.
(If other updates are to be installed that require EGSERVER not to be started, then wait with this point for later).

DocManager must be restarted on the machines where it is already installed. (This can only be done once the EGSERVER (or VAP) has started)

Citrix/Terminal Servers
If ASPECT4 client is installed on a Citrix/terminal server, this must be updated via an import command.
On EG's deployment page (e.g. http://SERVER:1045/client/) 3 buttons 'read more' there is a guide on how to update the cash. Remember that when the import command is executed, the server name etc. must be exactly as in the jnlp file.
In application 0361 'System level', you can via F16 'Client Information' see which path the client can be imported from (and thus also how to access EG's deployment page).

Robots
Note - When updating, there is no guarantee that applications used in the company's robots are unchanged. Robots that access changed applications can fail – and therefore have to be re-recorded. It is also a general condition for Robotics' products that after software update it is important to test used/critical robots.
