4126.0. "ALL-IN-1 V2.4 to 3.0 with serveral 3rd party products" by UNYEM::KOROL () Mon May 02 1994 17:03

    I'm going to be upgrade from ALL-IN-1 2.4 to 3.0.
    
    We use WPSPLUS, and Group Conference.  We also have WordPerfect and
    Lotus 1-2-3 for ALL-IN-1 integrated.
    
    The customer also wants me to install TeamLinks (which is the real
    reason for the upgrade).
    
    Does anyone have a listing or reference material of what I need to do
    to the current installations, she I relink ALL-IN-1 without them before
    starting the 3.0 installation.
    
    Anyone have the order of installation?  If this is successfull, the
    next step is to do the same thing but on that other system, they also
    have some ASSET PACKAGES like Resource Scheduler, some ALL-IN-1
    customization screens, some .SCP files that have been modified so that
    we can add things into the DDS without having to do it manually, and we
    also have Basis Plus.
    
    Does anyone have anything similar and have any TO DO's and TO DON'T's?
    
    Any help - I will be grateful!

    Joanne,
    
    0) call the CSC
    1) read the documenation
    2) run pre-check
    3) run the CART
    4) deintegrate WPCORP
    5) upgrade to v3.0
    6) obtain NEW versions of Lotus, WPCORP, Resource Scheduler
       (the old copies don't work) and install them
    7) upgrade to V3.0A and install TLC 2.0
       (TeamLinks needs this)
    
    Have you done this before? it's an awful lot of work.
    
    Regards,

4126.2Never upgraded to ALL-IN-1 V3.0 yet...UNYEM::KOROLTue May 03 1994 14:1323
    Andrew:
    
    I have upgraded ALL-IN-1 2.3 to 2.4 with the integration of Lotus
    1-2-3, WordPerfect, and BasisPlus since we have been on 2.4 we have 
    added the Resource Scheduler.  Also, when we upgraded to 2.4 of
    ALL-IN-1 we took advantage of the GCP (VAXnotes) and when I tried
    upgrading WPSPLUS it caused too many problems so decided it wasn't
    worth it (because most users use WordPerfect as their editor).
    
    I will be doing the installation on a development VAX at the customer
    site, so we can plan on upgrading their production VAXcluster.  The
    development VAX does not have BasisPlus and the software development
    group really don't use ALL-IN-1 so this will be a pratice installation,
    I would still like it to go as smoothly as possible.
    
    I have read the ALL-IN-1 3.0 installation guide, the customer has
    purchased the WordPerfect 3.0 Integration Kit.  At this point I do not
    have to worry about Lotus 1-2-3 for ALL-IN-1, my main concern is
    ALL-IN-1, WordPerfect and Teamlinks.
    
    Any more hints or suggestions is appreciated!

4126.3Get lots of sleep beforehandAIMTEC::WICKS_AAtlanta's Most (In)famous WelshmanTue May 03 1994 17:3811
    joanne,
    
    what other advice are you looking for?
    
    Talk to Chris Chang (@LYF?) who went though a fairly painful V2.4 to V3.0A
    upgrade not too long ago. 2.3 to 2.4 was a piece of cake compared to 
    this.

    Hi Joanne,

4126.5What are the DNS$SHR.EXE and DNS$RTL.EXE images?UNYEM::KOROLThu May 05 1994 17:5227
    Andrew:
    
    You asked, what other advice I was looking for.  None really, maybe
    someone to hold my hand while upgrading would make me feel much better.
    I figured it was going to be a nightmare, I was hoping for a dream. 
    
    I'm doing the upgrade from ALL-IN-1 V2.4 to V3.0 on a development
    system, so it's not a matter of life-or-death, but it will be when I do
    the upgrade on the customers 'production' system which has more
    integration and more customizations, etc...
    
    You mentioned to call the CSC - your from the CSC - I'm sure that
    you gave me all the information I need to get started.
    
    I have read the ALL-IN-1 V3.0 installation guide, I see where it says
    to run the CART - you mentioned to run the 'pre-check' is this
    something different then the CART?  I have reviewed the
    pre-installation tasks from the installation guide, it that what you
    meant?
    
    I do have another question - in the installation guide, Chapter 6,
    Preparing Your System, # 6.2.1 Installed Images, I do not have 2 of the
    images stated in the manual.  They are DNS$SHR.EXE and DNS$RTL.EXE, are
    they required (the book says they are), if so what are they are where 
    do I get them from?

    joanne,
    
    yes pre-check is a different thing - it's the PC option from Install 
    and is discussed on Page 6-19
    
    DNS$SHR is a typo it should be DNS$SHARE
    are you saying you don't have these images in SYS$SHARE
                                                                    
    $ INSTALL                                                    
      INSTALL> CREATE DNS$SHARE /OPEN /SHARED /PROTECTED           
      INSTALL> CREATE DNS$RTL /SHARED                              
      
    if you get stuck just call the 1-800 number we're here 24*7.
    
    I didn't see you say that you were going to V3.0A you just said V3.0
    is this what you intend to do.
    
    Regards,
