Installation of P019 under Opensuse

[adaneau]

Hello,

I'm trying to update my WinCC OA 3.11.1 under Opensuse. So I downloaded patch P019 but I don't really get how it works:

I launched install but it doesn't find my originals rpm files (which are not located in the version but in another hdd)

I tried to follow this:

To install a patch properly complete following steps:

- Download the required delta RPM (.drpm) files.
= > that's ok I get the files (do I need to extract the folder? And where?)

- Copy the .drpm files to the plant.
=> well, does the plant mean the version? (/opt/WinCC_OA/3.11 ?)

- Stop the project properly.
=> it's ok, no projects are running

- Within a terminal login as user "root".
=> if I use sudo, is it ok too?

- Change to the subdirectory containing the original RPMs of
WinCC OA 3.11 SP1.
=> Do I need to have some copy of original RPMs in my computer?

- To install a delta RPM patch simply use the following command:
./install --patch
=> After this, it asks for a path to the installation root directory, so what is it ? (/opt/WinCC_OA/3.11 ?)

- Perform additional installation steps if required and described
in the Readme files.
=> nothing more is required, isn't it?

- Start the project or the specific processes.
=> it's ok


So I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance

Regards

No. Plant means "the computer with WinCC-OA you want to upgrade" (which might be on a plant, your engineering PC, whatever)

- Within a terminal login as user "root".
=> if I use sudo, is it ok too?

Yes.

=> Do I need to have some copy of original RPMs in my computer?

Yes.
Delta-rpm is simply a binary diff of the released 3.11-SP1 rpms and the latest patched software rpm packages


I did this on my PC where I have all original 3.11-SP1 rpms in /home/pvss/CD/3.11.1
cd /home/pvss/CD/3.11.1
downloaded WinCC_OA3111_Linux_64Bit_P019.zip into this dir
mkdir P019
cd P019
unzip ../WinCC_OA3111_Linux_64Bit_P019.zip
sudo ./install --patch P019

done
