3424.0. "Can multiple AM/FM's be installed at the same time?" by FOUR62::LICAUSE (Al Licause (338-5661)) Fri Jul 24 1992 10:21

Since the lenghty part of installing DECmcc is in the installation of additional
AM's and PM's, I'd like to know the possible concequences under V1.2 of
having multiple installations, of AM's and/or FM's running at the same time?

What problems could we run into if any?

thanks,
Al

3424.1	Probably not a good idea	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, dtn 226-5033	`Fri Jul 24 1992 10:40`	5
	Currently, the dictionary only allows a single writer at a time. Since installing an MM usually involves a dictionary update, simultaneous installs will likely fail due to a conflict over the dictionary. -- Erik
3424.2	At right time, it works	COL01::WELZEL	Uwe Welzel, NaC, Cologne	`Fri Jul 24 1992 11:56`	6
	In case of an installation where the new help files will be built automatically (as the DECmcc ELM FM), you can start the next installation during the first is building the help files. But be careful, the IVP could fail for the first installation. Uwe
3424.3	Only build help libraries once	TOOK::FONSECA	I heard it through the Grapevine...	`Tue Jul 28 1992 17:31`	7
	Or to take that suggestion one further, if the installation gives you the option, decline to update the help files until you run the last installation. Running the TSAM installation in parallel with any other installation will most certainly result in problems of one sort or another. -Dave
