Global options file
During the upgrade, the contents of the old global options file, residing in the
AppRM_home\Config\server\Options directory on the Windows Cell Manager,
are merged with the contents of the new (default) global options file on the Cell
Manager:
• AppRM_home\NewConfig\Server\Options
The merged file, which is named global, resides in the same location as the old
one, AppRM_home\Config\server\Options directory on Windows Cell
Manager, and is used by the upgraded version of the product. The old global options
file is renamed to global.1, global.2, etc., depending on the number of upgrades
performed.
The following applies when the merged file is created:
• Global options file variables that were active (uncommented) in the old file remain
active in the merged file. The following comment, stating that the value of the
variable was copied from the old file, is added to the merged file:
variable=value
# Application Recovery Manager A.06.10
# This value was automatically copied from previous version.
• Global options file variables, not used anymore, are commented (made inactive)
in the merged file and added the following comment stating that the variable is
no longer in use:
#variable=value
# Application Recovery Manager A.06.10
# This value is no longer in use.
• Variables with values, not supported anymore, are commented (made inactive)
in the merged file. The following comment is added, containing a template
(variable_template) and stating the previous value of this variable:
# variable=variable_template
# Application Recovery Manager A.06.10
# This variable cannot be transferred automatically.
# The previous setting was:
# variable=value
