Hi,
At the moment, I have the enviable task of writing a Progress Deployment Utility to install or upgrade our flagship product GlobalDMS on any flavour of Unix OS.
This is my second attempt, after the first version had it's limitations.
With this attempt I want to get it right at all stages....
Which is the reason for the question ...
Given that any customer will already have Progress 7, 8, 9 installed and $PATH pointing to the license, can I directly call Progress Corporation coded utilities ?
For instance, to load all .d's can I call the same routine as is in the Db Administrator ?
To update the schema's can I call the common object to do this ?
Are these programs the same name in all licenses of Progress ?
I would also like to hear from other developers on how they deploy their products to the customer.
I am attempting to develop a
"Load CD and Go" installer.
Best Regards
