Moving install directory - HP-UX

My sysadmin wants to move the Progress 9.x install directory from /xxx to /yyy

Does progress need to be re-installed to /yyy or can it be simply copied to /yyy and change the DLC variable?

thanks

If you look in $DLC/bin, you will see a bunch of shell scripts which have been tailored to define $DLC. If you *always* are careful to define $DLC before you call the scripts or you use your own scripts, then you can probably get away with a copy, but frankly I would just do a fresh install to save the potential headache.
 
Haven't done that or anything like that on UNIX.

But I did recently change the working directory on my home computer (I wouldn't have been that adventurous on a clients environment, certainly not production) that turned out to be alot more complicated then I expected.

Besides making changes to the registry, *.ini, *.bat, *.properties and a few others (started by doing a simple text search for the working dir path).

Turned out there were a few more WebSpeed settings in the registry I wasn't aware of. I also came across another reference in a java .jar file that I stayed away from.

I eventually did get everything to work but at the end I decided to do a fresh install and not take any chances.

Well, it was a nice learning experience :)
