Downloading a Sonic Updater
Downloading a Sonic Updater
Sonic updaters will be available from the Progress Electronic Download Site, accessible
on the Web at http://www.progress.com/esd. You can browse through the offerings, but
to perform downloads, you must be registered. If you are not a member, and want to
download service packs, click the register link on the Web page.
When an appropriate download is available, and you choose to download it, unpack the
download archive into either a local temporary directory or a network accessible location
for reuse.
Accessing Java for the Updater
Unlike Sonic installers, Sonic updaters and patches generally do not include the
appropriate Java to run the updater itself. In most cases where the target is a 64-bit
Windows machine, reference a 32-bit Java runtime to run the updater.
Performing an Update on a Sonic Installer Location
The update procedure does not require any license keys yet does require acceptance of the
end user license agreement for the updated software.
◆ To update a Sonic installation with an 8.5 Service Pack:
1. On a machine that has a Sonic 8.5 installation, confirm that an appropriate JVM is on
the path. (You might need to put it in the PATH of the system environment variables.)
2. For a Domain Manager update—Sonic Workbench, SonicMQ Development, or
deployment Domain Manager—confirm that the Domain Manager is running.
3. For an update of any Sonic installation, stop administration tools and clients that are
using that installation.
4. Launch the updater:
■ On Windows, double-click on install.exe.
■ On UNIX or Linux, open a terminal window to the root of the unpacked updater
files and then enter:
. ./install.bin
