After performing the initial Modify settings upgrade on a cluster node, you must proceed with Express upgrades on the remaining nodes in the cluster to integrate the mirror of your external system database with your standing installation of Hybrid Data Pipeline.

Take the following steps to perform the Express upgrade.

  1. From a command-line prompt, navigate to the directory where you saved the product file. Alternatively, place the product file directory on your path before proceeding to the next step.

    The product file has the format PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin, where nn is the version of the product.

  2. Make the file an executable using the chmod +x command. For example:

    chmod +x ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin

  3. Run the executable.
    • GUI mode

      ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin

      Note: If the installer cannot continue with a GUI installation, a message is displayed and the installation continues in console mode
    • Console mode

      ./PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_HDP_SERVER_nn_LINUX_64_INSTALL.bin -i console

  4. When prompted, enter the directory of the installation you want to upgrade.
  5. When prompted, choose an upgrade installation on the existing installation.
  6. When prompted, choose an Express upgrade.
  7. Review the upgrade summary, and proceed with the upgrade.

What to do next:

Review the installation log files for a record of any problems that may have occurred during the upgrade.

The installer generates a number of log files during the installation process. The location of these files depends on the success of the upgrade.

  • If the installer successfully creates the product installation directory, the installer generates the following log files.
    • <install_dir>/_ProgressHDPServer_installation/Logs/Progress_DataDirect_Hybrid_Data_Pipeline_Server_Install_<timestamp>.log
    • <install_dir>/ddcloud/deploy.log
    • <install_dir>/ddcloud/final.log
    • <install_dir>/ddcloud/error.log
  • If the installation or upgrade fails such that the installer does not create the installation directory, the installer writes a file named Progress__DataDirect_Hybrid_Data_Pipeline_Server_InstallFailed.txt to the machine’s default temporary directory.
  • When a silent installation or upgrade fails, the installer writes a file named SilentInstallerError.log to the user's home directory.
  • When hostname and port validation are skipped by specifying validation settings in the silent installation response file, the installer generates the file SilentInstallInfo.log in the user's home directory.
