You can deploy a package or packages to a directory on
the local system using the command-line properties defined in the
XML package.
The following prerequisites are required to complete this
task.
- You have already obtained an UpdateXpress System Pack for
a machine type and operating system.
- The system is running a supported operating system.
- From the CLI, run UpdateXpress System Pack Installer using
the update command using the options to specify
the location on the file system to search for the update packages
and the option to apply the updates to the local system in noninteractive
mode.
Example:
C:\uxsp> lnvgy_utl_uxspi_10.6_winsrvr_32-64.exe update --local=C:\updates -u
- You can view the status on standard output stdout,
as the application reads all of the UpdateXpress System Pack XML
files in the specified directory to determine which UpdateXpress System Pack is
applicable to the system.
UpdateXpress System Pack Installer builds
an internal catalog of the available updates as specified by the XML
file.
UpdateXpress System Pack Installer performs
the following tasks:
- Gathers the system inventory, providing status.
- Compares the inventory with the update catalog and determines
a recommendation of updates to apply.
- Provides status while it proceeds to sequentially run each applicable
update on the local system.
- Exits with a return code designating whether the updates were
successful or not.
- Logs status to the system logs during this operation.
The following list provides possible error conditions that
can occur.
- If the operating system is not supported, a message is displayed
at the beginning of the UpdateXpress System Pack Installer program
stating that you cannot deploy updates. UpdateXpress System Pack Installer exits
with an unsuccessful return code.
- If no UpdateXpress System Pack XML
file can be found in the specified directory, and it is supported
by the local system machine type and operating system, a message similar
to the following is displayed:
Cannot find UpdateXpress System Pack XML file for this machine type
and operating system.
Note: If the machine type or operating
system is not supported by a UXSP,
it is still be possible to run updates by specifying Individual Updates.
To specify Individual Update, specify the --latest or -L argument.
- If an individual update package has an error during deployment, UpdateXpress System Pack Installer continues
with the next update, and then sets the return code for the appropriate
time when UpdateXpress System Pack Installer program
exits.
