2. Re: Hotfix Installation Question
Ryan Jenson Jul 9, 2019 8:59 AM (in response to Stefan Reinhardt)Hi Stefan,
Yes, the downloads look just like that. To install
- I uploaded PIM_8.0.03.07_Core.zip (and installed) to Clusterix,
- Disabled all INFA services.
- Copied the contents of PIM_8.0.03.07_Core.zip and similarly .zips into the main /PIM/ directory
- Adjusted the new files to reflect prior customization if needed
All services aside from Product 360 itself seem to be functioning as normal. Rolling the /Informatica/PIM/ root folder back to its pre-installation contents successfully allows PIM 8.0.03.01 to open again.

But please share back what you learned with us here after if possible.
Thanks,
Stefan

Ryan Jenson Jul 9, 2019 9:10 AM (in response to Stefan Reinhardt)Ok Stefan, thanks for the help!
We will be upgrading to 8.2 shortly after release. This hotfix is more of a test/learning experience to prep for future HFs as the environment is expecting a large scale overhaul anyway ("why not give it a shot" kind of a deal).

Stefan Reinhardt Jul 9, 2019 9:13 AM (in response to Ryan Jenson)Sounds good. However 8.0.03 is really an old release. A learning experience going a bit higher like 8.0.6 would potentially also be an option in case you'd feel stuck here in the end.

Ryan Jenson Jul 25, 2019 11:15 AM (in response to Stefan Reinhardt)Been up and stable for long enough to submit a reply:
The /dbclient/Database.exe needed to be run. I intentionally did not run it (until instructed by GCS) for fear it would wipe the databse and create a new one. After successfully running the .exe and making a few adjustments to the repo.repo files PIM is now hotfixed on both environments.
I think going forward it would be smart to contact GCS for confirmation that Database.exe won't drop the whole database...if for nothing but a second opinion.

when ever there is a DB installer in the Hotfix/EBF that one must be executed and there will no new DB created as long as you are using the same server.properties with your existing one.
He will only check and run the needed Updates and recreated SPs and so on. There is no drop DB in it so no danger.
As always you should take a Update but that should be a normal step
Best Regards
Ralph
