same directory. The previous TIA.properties file is saved as TIA.properties.old in the
same directory.
IMPORTANT: If the hdvmcli.properties file contains multiple entries of the same key with
different values, the value of the most recently specified key overrides the others. Although key
duplication does not affect Device Manager CLI operations, we do not recommend that you
specify the same key more than once with different values. We recommend that you eliminate
unnecessary duplicate keys and their values. If there are duplicate keys that have different values
during an upgrade installation, the new hdvmcli.properties file will inherit keys as follows:
If there are multiple password keys:
All password keys and their values in the old hdvmcli.properties file are written to the new file as
is. The following shows an example:
• The password keys and their values in the old file:
password=AAA
password=BBB
• The password keys and their values written to the new file:
password=AAA
password=BBB
If there are duplicate keys other than password:
The name and value of the most recent duplicate key in the old hdvmcli.properties file are written to
the new file as many times as there are duplicated keys. The following shows an example:
• The user keys and their values in the old file:
user=AAA
user=BBB
• The user keys and their values written to the new file:
user=BBB
user=BBB
NOTE: Files created by a user will not be saved as *.old during the upgrade installation or re-
installation.
If you want to manually make a backup before performing an upgrade installation or re-installation of
the Device Manager server, copy the following files and directories to another location:
• installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-
server/Server/config/*.properties
The old *.properties file is backed up in the config directory as *.properties.old.
Note, however, that files created by a user will not be backed up.
• installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-server/Server/logs
To back up the log files, copy this directory to another location
• installation-directory-for-the-Device-Manager-
server/SupportTools/CollectTool/TIA.properties
The old TIA.properties file is backed up as TIA.properties.old in the same directory.
The database can automatically be backed up or exported during installation. If you want to
manually back up or export the database, perform the operations specified in subsections
4-5-1 or
4-5-3-4 . Decide whether to back up or export the database by referring to the following points.
• If version 5.1 or earlier of an XP Command View AE Suite product is already installed, back up
the database. You cannot export the database.
• If version 5.5 or later of an XP Command View AE Suite product has already been installed
and you will perform an upgrade installation, we recommend you export the database.
• If you will perform a re-installation, we recommend you back up the database.
