After copying the files to their appropriate directory open a "Command Prompt" change to the wavestore/tables directory in the server's home directory and start hwtestconf.

2 Patch installation

2.1 Windows

Note: If the patch is started in the servers home directory, it automatically overwrites the installed binaries (no backup copy of the old binaries is created). To prevent any unwanted loss of binaries see instructions below.

All patches in the win32 directory are selfextracting archives. To apply the patch:

  1. Download the patch into the servers home directory.
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Doubleclick on the patch file.
  4. Press the "Run Winzip" or the "Unzip"
  5. Start the server.

Manual installation to prevent overwriting of binaries.

  1. Create a temporary directory.
  2. Extract the patch in the temporary directory.
  3. Stop the server.
  4. Look in the newly created directory to find out the affected binaries.
  5. Rename the currently installed binaries to anything (e.g. hgserver.exe.bak)
  6. Walk through the directories and copy the files to the coresponding directories in the server's home directory.
  7. Start the server.

2.2 UNIX

  1. Download the patch into a temporary directory.
  2. Change to the Hyperwave Information Server home directory.
  3. Call "gzip -cd <patchfile> | tar xf -" in the Hyperwave Information Server home directory.
  4. Stop the server.
  5. Call ./tartmp/hwinsttar.
  6. Start the server.
