Hi Niall,

im new to the QAD product. im assign to attend training regarding the YAB for QAD.

just for running a test, may i know can i get the QAD 2016 EE with YAB application.

Thank you.

Hi Rafique,

YAB comes as part of the 2016EE media. So if you have purchased 2016EE, the corresponding media should be all that is required.

As an alternative, if you are scheduled to attend the YAB training, then perhaps you could request getting early access to the corresponding training environments which also have the 2016EE media. But I am not sure if this is an option so I would contact your account manager and go from there.

Thanks,
Niall

Hi Niall,

 Im taking the course YAB Installation and administration, I just installed a DEMO Environment, patched it and all looks great,the Client works fine,  so now I want to add a new environment to my current DEMO  environment, I have been looking for documentation about this procedure but I couln't find it, I tried copying a new .conf file and change the environment ID and then run ./install -install-conf:/home/mfg/empty.conf and I got some errors finishing the installation process, are there some documents that explain how to add a new environment to current, how to clone, etc ??

Regards,

 

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for your question. 

Provided that the server has the resources to run two EE environment instances this should be straight forward. The two key items would be to ensure the second EE instance is installed into a separate directory and uses a different set of ports i.e. overwrite the ports and dynamic-ports properties.

E.g.
ports=23000-23100
dynamic-ports=2001-3000

Thanks,
Niall

Hi Niall,

Hi Manuel,

Great, if you encounter any issues perhaps it would be best to create a new thread for that specfic topic. Please also include all the relevant details and yab.log file.

Thanks,
Niall

Hi Niall,

 I tried and got some errors, how can I create a thread for that ?? I got errors almost finishing the entire process.

Hi Manuel,

See the following help / video on creating and replying to forum posts.

http://community.qad.com/web/community/help-page
http://media.qad.com/qad/Play/b8430d76-157b-4c48-ba47-113c1a2cbc6a

Regarding your current question, you do not have to deselect QXtend on the second environment. Are you sure that both environments are using different ports ranges? Perhaps query the YAB configuration for both environments by running the following YAB commands

yab config ports
yab config dynamic-ports

 

Thanks,

Niall

Hi Niall,

 I did all installations again, install Progress and Install both QAD environments, and now all works fine, I got two environment ( two icons on my desktop ) the information is:

I installed the CLIENTS and I got two icons on my desktop and have two questions:

1) How to install 2 Environments to get only one icon on my desktop, is that posible ???

2) I noticed that only one YAB was intalled for two environments:

[mfg@dbtest apps]$ ls training/
build  config  customizations  databases  dist  patches  scripts  servers  yab
[mfg@dbtest apps]$ ls devel/
Build  config  customizations  databases  dist  patches  scripts  servers

Is correct  get only one yab ???

For this reason i'm using the parameter -a:/apps/<environment>  to check both configurations.

I'll see the video  "creating and replying to forum posts" for further questions or reference.

Thanks a lot,  I appreciate your help.

Regards,

Hi Manuel,

The installation of the .NET UI client is independent of YAB. I'd suggest working with QAD Support or posting to the NETUI forum -> http://community.qad.com/home?p_p_id=qadforums_WAR_qadforumsportlet&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_count=1&_qadforums_WAR_qadforumsportlet_categoryId=787162.

On the second point around the yab client. The installer will not install/deploy the yab client if it defects that it is already on the environment PATH. So after installing the first environment perhaps you updated the PATH variable with a reference to yab? If you want one yab client for all your EE instances you could move the <env>/build/client directory outside of the EE environment and reference that location in your PATH instead.

Thanks,
Niall

Hello Niall,

I have one question for you.

We installed production order patch on test environment to test it and decide we won't install it on poduction.

Question: is there a way to uninstall production patch (or any other patch)?

Regards,

Tomaž 

Hi Tomaz,

Thanks for posting to our community forum. Starting a new thread for topics not directly related to an existing post is recommended best practice and generally our preferred approach. With that out of the way on to your specific query.

Firstly, as a general point uninstalls are not supported by our product architecture, primariliy because removing a product (or product patch) is often more complex than installing. For example we may have to execute a conversion as part of a product install. As such removing the product would involve reversing the effects of a conversion (which is not available). 

One avenue perhaps would be to contact QAD Support to see if they can provide any guidance or help in this matter, or provide you with advice from the Production Orders team here. My own opinion/advice on this though would be to cut your losses and recreate the Test system.

Thanks,
Niall
