Updating to latest Jumbo Hotfix

David_Chau — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 20:42:57 GMT

Hello,

We are currently on Take 216, is updating straight to 317 recommended since there have been many changes or is it advisable to update to a Take in between like 292 before going to 317?

Thanks,

David

Generally it's safe to go to the latest recommend jumbo hotfix directly.

CPUSE will take a snapshot, Uninstall the older jumbo, and install the new hotfix.

How does CPUSE take the snapshot? Is the process different for VSX? I am running r77.30 if that makes a difference.

I always used this command to do the snapshot, "add snapshot VALUE desc VALUE"

How would I uninstall the older jumbo? Is there a specific command?

I always just installed the latest HF and never bothered to uninstall the old one.

I will admit, I don't know the underlying process CPUSE uses to do the snapshots, but assume its similar for gateway and VSX.

Note that when you install a newer jumbo hotfix, CPUSE will uninstall the older ones automatically.

But if you wanted to uninstall a hotfix, you would use the command installer uninstall.
