deleted.
-
Run "swinstall" by typing:
/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/Eloquence-B0700-1.depot

When the installation is completed, a dialog is displayed to
notify you that the install task is completed. You may exit then.
Note: during installation a warning message like below will
be present if the HP Eloquence A.06.xx product is currently installed.
This warning does not indicate a problem but is a notification that
you are about to replace the HP Eloquence product with Eloquence.
WARNING: HP Eloquence (B1368B-A0600) is installed; it will be removed
Installing Eloquence will remove any previous HP Eloquence
product. Eloquence uses a different product number and
conflicts with an installed HP Eloquence A.06.xx product.
To update an existing Eloquence installation, please shut down
Eloquence using the command below:
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 stop
After the update has finished Eloquence can be started with
the command below:
/sbin/init.d/eloq6 start
Automatic startup of Eloquence servers during boot is only configured
in the /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6 configuration file.
Updating from a previous Eloquence version
When updating from a previous Eloquence A.06.xx release the following
actions should be performed in addition to updating the software.
License key
If you are using a commercial Eloquence version, please request your
new B.07.00 license key before updating Eloquence.
As an alternative you have the option to install a temporary license key
during installation which is valid for a period of four weeks.
A new license key can be requested by either submitting the form
enclosed with your software update or on-line at the Eloquence
web site:
http://eloquence.marxmeier.com/license.
Please comment out the previous license key when adding the new B.07.00
license key to your license file /etc/opt/eloquence6/license.
Otherwise the new license may not be recognized and chklic might
output the following messages:
B.06.32: Bad license key revision.
Duplicate sequence number: Ignoring license
Eloquence Personal Edition
With the Eloquence Personal Edition, please copy the B.07.00
license file template to /etc/opt/eloquence6/license. The new
license file includes an updated license key for the Eloquence
Personal Edition.
cp /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/config/license \
/etc/opt/eloquence6/license
Startup configuration
The B.07.00 startup script provides additional configuration options
and uses a new startup configuration file template which supports
multiple eloqdb6 instances. Previous startup configuration files are
compatible. It is recommended to use a new template configuration file
and manually change any options.
The startup configuration file is /etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6
To copy the new template configuration file for manual editing
please execute the command below:
cp /opt/eloquence6/newconfig/startup/eloquence6 \
/etc/rc.config.d/eloquence6
