Resolution
Before You Install or Upgrade
Before you install or upgrade DATABridge Host 6.0, determine the usercode and pack:
- Usercode (a privileged usercode is suggested, along with access to database description file)
- Pack (usually default pack)
For more information about usercodes and packs, see "Installation and Guardfile Setup" in the DATABridge Host Administration Guide.
If you are upgrading, be aware of the following:
- Some files are overwritten by the installation. For details, see “Installation and Guardfile Setup” in the DATABridge Host Administrator Guide.
- When the installation is complete, you must recompile your tailored support libraries.
- You can use your DATABridge 5.2 Accessory parameter files with the DATABridge 6.0 Accessories. To use any of the new options, type them in your parameter file.

You can begin the DATABridge installation either from a CD or a disk. Then, you will continue the installation by copying the DATABridge installation WFL (work flow language) to the host.
To install from a CD:
- Enter the following command:
WFL UNWRAP *WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL AS WFL/DATABRIDGE/INSTALL OUTOF *CDINSTALL FROM DB60C (KIND=CDROM)- Continue with the steps to Start the DATABridge Installation WFL.
