Back Up Existing Program and Data File Before Installing

If you plan to upgrade Thoroughbred products by copying over your current product files, you can use the following procedure to back up your program and data files:

  • Use site procedures to back up your application and data files. Although the upgrade procedure will not affect any files you have created, you may want to take this precaution.
  • Use site procedures to back up the IPLINPUT and TERMINAL files from the Thoroughbred Basic directory. From the UTILS subdirectory, back up the TCONFIGW and TCONFIG8 files. The upgrade process will overwrite these system files, which describe how Thoroughbred products interact with your hardware and operating system.

Only Thoroughbred product files will be replaced during the upgrade procedure.
