If you have not installed the
3DEXPERIENCE platform
before, you can:
- either install each server with the GA and the HF media,
then duplicate each server for load balancing purposes
- or install all the GA versions of the servers, duplicate each
server for load balancing, then install the fix pack on all the servers,
following the same order as the one used for the GA installation.
The first solution is the simpler of the two, but in any case,
for subsequent fix pack installations, you will have to follow the second
solution. So this is the solution described here.
-
Before installing the HF, restart the database and other
services.
A HF is installed in exactly the same manner as the GA software,
using the usual modes (GUI, TUI, Silent).
If the
3DEXPERIENCE platform
is already deployed, install the HFs in the same service order you used for the
initial deployment.
-
After launching the installation, depending on the media, you may
first be greeted by a welcome dialog box. If this is the case, click
Next to proceed.
Specify the installation folder in which you installed the GA version, then click
Next to proceed. The next dialog box
specifies, for example, the following information: Setup will
update Desktop application to V6R2022x.HF1 in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B424
indicating that you are updating to install a HF, for example
V6R2019x.HF1 which is the hot fix identifier. It also
lists the existing installations on your computer, enabling you to choose
the installation on which the hot fix should be installed. The HF
media must always be installed in the same directory as the GA version. And
hot fixes must belong to the same version, for example, a V6R2019x HF can be
installed over a V6R2019x GA, but not over a V6R2018x GA.
-
If required, and if the hot fix media proposes it, select from the
list of new roles/products, those which you want to add to your installation.
Then click
Next to proceed.
-
Specify passwords if prompted to do so.
When you installed the GA level, you may have been prompted to
answer questions and provide input. Installing a hot fix is simpler than a GA
installation, since you are no longer prompted to provide the same input
because it is retrieved from the GA installation. Only dialog boxes with
passwords are displayed with pre-filled values for other parameters, so you
only need to provide the passwords.
-
In the next dialog box, click
Install> to install the hot fix files.
The setup program will inform you that the installation has
ended. Click
Close to exit.
A hot fix installation is always in "Delta" mode, and hot fixes
are cumulative. This means that the HF media does not contain all files: it
only contains the files that are different from the previous HF or from the GA
of the same version.
Regarding the HF installation mechanism, the files installed by a
previous HF version are not removed when installing a new HF version.
As HF media are cumulative, there is no need to install all HF
versions until the needed HF version. For example, it is possible to install
the GA, then HF3, then HF5 (without installing the intermediary HF1, HF2 and
HF4).
Always use the same level of HF installers for web apps.
