Hello,
The customer has the following scenario - he has redefined oa$data_share and
oa$image logicals in a1v23sitestart.com to point to a different disk.
This works fine, but the customer is now going to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4,
and is concerned that the upgrade will not find these files. Does the
upgrade actually look at the logicals for location of data file such as
profile.dat, or will it use the data in a1config.dat?
I know the easy answer is to copy these files to the disk with the rest of
the oa$data files, but the customer would like to make no changes if at all
possible.
A quick response would be much appreciated, as the customer is doing the
upgrade this weekend.
Thanks,
Julie

I would think that the balance of probability is that we'll ignore the
OA$DATA etc. logicals and guess where the directory is. I can't really
remember what V2.4 did. It would be safer, and not very hard to move
them back to the standard location during the upgrade.
OA$IMAGE will be used to chek the previous version, but I don't think
that there's any chance that the new image will be copied to where the
logical points.
In both cases, the SITE start file won't be used after the upgrade,
since it'll have the old name, so the system probably won't start
anyway.

PS Yes, I know people don't like this behaviour, and we're looking into
"fixing" it for the PFR.
