An Agile Business Suite Interim Correction (IC) is a software package that is designed to distribute fixes and updates for the General Customer Availability (GCA) version of the Development Environment, Client Environment, and Runtime.
If the GCA version of the Development Environment and Runtime is not detected, Browse to GCA path dialog box appears. You can browse to the Development Environment subfolder (or the equivalent Windows Runtime subfolder for a Runtime installation) in the AB Suite installer and follow the wizard instructions. The IC can then be installed using the license provided in the GCA, without actually installing the GCA version. This allows clean installs of an IC without having to install old versions of the product first.
For the MCP Runtime, the following message appears, if you try to install the Runtime from an IC and the GCA release is not detected. For information on installing an IC for MCP Runtime, see Installing Interim Corrections for Runtime for ClearPath MCP.
>>> (<usercode>)NGEN30/AUTHENTICATE ON <pack> IS MISSING OR INVALID <<< COPY VALID AUTHENTICATE FILE FROM THE GCA RELEASE: AX TO CONTINUE OR DS
Note: You can directly install an IC release on a clean machine without the GCA version being installed. If there is no GCA version installed, the IC runs as a new base installation.
Interim Corrections are distributed on the support web site for the product at:
https://www.support.unisys.com/common/ShowWebPage.aspx?id=1046&pla=ABS&nav=ABS
They are available as zip files for download. Once you have downloaded and saved the appropriate Interim Correction file, to a temporary location, to update your installed application, perform the following:
Extract the contents of the zip file to a temporary location.
Locate the CD Developer folder and run the CD Browser.exe to begin the installation.
The IC Install program performs the following checks:
Check that an existing copy of Agile Business Suite Developer or Agile Business Suite Runtime GCA version is installed.
Check if files which need to be updated are in use.
If the checks are successful, a dialog box appears which confirms that an existing version of the software exists. The existing version is upgraded prior to continuing with the installation of the IC.
Click Yes to continue, or Cancel to exit the installation.
If Agile Business Suite Runtime environment is also installed on the same computer as Developer, the IC for Developer changes the version numbers between the two products. Therefore you must upgrade the Runtime environment to the equivalent version after you have completed the Developer upgrade. A dialog box advises you of this requirement, and asks you to confirm that you wish to continue with the Developer upgrade.
Click Yes to continue, or No to exit the installation.
From this point, the installation proceeds in the same way as the base GCA release installation. Refer to Performing the Developer Installation for more information.
