Install Actian X
To install Actian X, see the installation instructions for your platform.
In-place upgrades only: During the installation process, the DBMS Server setup asks whether all databases are to be upgraded; answer No. The install procedure automatically upgrades the iidbdb. If the upgrade of iidbdb fails, see the appendix “Troubleshooting Upgradedb.”
After the iidbdb is upgraded, the DBMS Server setup attempts to upgrade imadb and install Remote Command Server objects into imadb. Some versions of upgradedb neglect to create imadb first, and you will get “Database does not exist: imadb” errors. These will be corrected in the next step.
How You Upgrade to Older Versions That Require a Patch
Newer versions of Actian X distribute service packs. You can install service packs without having to install a base release of Actian X first.
Linux: If you are upgrading to an older Ingres version that requires an overlay patch instead of a service pack, follow this procedure:
1. Run ingbuild. When asked whether you want to set up all the Ingres components, respond No. Exit ingbuild.
2. Install the Ingres patch.
3. Run ingbuild again. Select Current, then SetupAll.
4. Follow the prompts to complete the Ingres setup.
Setup now uses the fixed version.
