2 Upgrade Process To upgrade RTR, use the following process: 1. Shutdown RTR 2. Uninstall RTR 3. Install RTR 4. Run the IVP (optional) 5. Start RTR 2.1 Rolling Upgrade Restrictions Take note of the following restrictions if upgrading an RTR environment from RTR V3.2 to V4.0. The RTR recovery protocol consists of messages sent from one backend, via a router, to the target backend. If either of the RTR backends is upgraded to RTR V4.
Upgrade Process 2.1 Rolling Upgrade Restrictions For more complex configurations, where a node may have combinations of facilities with different backend/router groupings, use the command SET NODE/RECOVERY=V32 to set the recovery protocol to the V3.2 algorithm. Once RTR has been upgraded on all nodes, the recovery protocol can be reset to its default value (V4.0), and RTR restarted at a convenient time on each node. This need not be a simultaneous restart on all nodes.
Upgrade Process 2.2 Uninstalling RTR To verify that no RTR-related processes are still running on a node or cluster member, use the SHOW DEVICE/FILES command to make sure that there are no remaining SYS$SHARE:LIBRTR*.EXE shareable images. • Remove RTR from your system. $ PRODUCT REMOVE RTR 2.2.2 Uninstalling on Windows Systems You must perform the following actions before uninstalling RTR on a Windows system: • If RTR has previously been registered as a service, unregister RTR as a service.
Upgrade Process 2.2 Uninstalling RTR Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Reliable Transaction Router -> Add/Remove • Terminate all application processes linked to RTR. If you are running in a cluster configuration, you must remove RTR application processes from all the cluster members that use the disk where RTR was installed. • Remove previous versions of RTR from the disk: DEL /S/Q C:\RTR 2.2.3 Uninstalling on Compaq Tru64 UNIX Complete the following steps to uninstall RTR from your system.
Upgrade Process 2.2 Uninstalling RTR Note The last directory is user configurable, so verify its location before executing the last command. rm -rf /rtr rm -rf /rtrjnl rm -rf /usr/opt/rtr 2.2.4 Uninstalling on Sun Complete the following steps to uninstall RTR from your system.
