Installing, Upgrading, and Migrating QAD QXtend in a Character Environment
The following procedure describes how to install, upgrade, and migrate QAD QXtend in a character environment. It assumes that you are using Windows.
1 Verify that Tomcat is running.
2 Verify that you have the required permissions to access the relevant folders.
3 Run the GUI installer to populate the QDCS with the required parameter settings.
4 Specify an environment and host, select the components to install or upgrade, and specify the required parameters.
Note: For information about the QDCS, see QAD Deployment Configuration Service.
5 Move to the host you created in step 4.
6 Mount the release media.
7 Choose Start|All Programs|Accessories|Command Prompt to open a command window.
8 Navigate to the InstData directory on the release media.
9 Navigate to the appropriate directory for your environment. For example, if you are in a Linux environment, navigate to the Linux directory.
