13.6 Upgrading the Remote Loader

If you are running the Remote Loader, you also need to upgrade the Remote Loader files.

  1. Create a backup of the Remote Loader configuration files. The default location of the files is as follows:

    • Windows: C:\Novell\RemoteLoader\remoteloadername-config.txt

    • Linux: Create your own configuration file in the path of rdxml.

  2. Verify that the drivers are stopped. For instructions, see Section 13.2, Stopping the Drivers.

  3. Stop the Remote Loader service or daemon for each driver.

    • Windows: In the Remote Loader Console, select the Remote Loader instance, then click Stop.

    • Linux: rdxml -config path_to_configfile -u

    • Java Remote Loader: dirxml_jremote -config path_to_configfile -u

  4. Run the installation programs for the Remote Loader.

    The installation process updates the files and binaries to the current version. For more information, see Section 7.3, Installing the Remote Loader.

  5. After the installation completes, verify that your configuration files contain your environment’s information.

  6. (Conditional) If there is a problem with the configuration file, copy the backup file created in Step 1. Otherwise, continue with Step 7.

  7. Start the Remote Loader service or daemon for each driver.

    • Windows: In the Remote Loader Console, select the Remote Loader instance, then click Start.

    • Linux: rdxml -config path_to_config_file -sp password password

    • Java Remote Loader: dirxml_jremote -config path_to_config_file -sp password password

NOTE:After upgrading Remote Loader from 32-bit to 64-bit, the Groupwise driver and the native custom drivers do not work.
