These instructions are valid if you are upgrading from Version 1.6 or a previous 1.7 version. Contact Vital Soft support for assistance if you are upgrading from Version 1.5 or earlier.

Backup the Existing vsdata Directory

  • Create a backup of the current setup:
  login askplus  
  cd /ASKPLUS
  cp -Rp vsdata vsdata-bkup-yyyymmdd
  • Remove any old backup directories that are no longer needed
  # Be careful, this command deletes all files and sub-directories from the specified directory
  rm -R old-bkup-dir

Install New UNIX Job/Script Files

We recommend that you right-click and choose "Download linked file as..." (or the equivalent option) as this should prevent your browser from automatically unzipping the file during the download.

  • Transfer (binary) the gz file to the /ASKPLUS directory on the UNIX system and then extract the files.
  • Check File Integrity Sum
  md5sum VSIGNS-HPUX-v1708.gz

  #Confirm that you are in /ASKPLUS
  pwd
  # Transfer (using binary) the gz file to the /ASKPLUS directory
  # Unzip the files
  gunzip VSIGNS-HPUX-1708.gz
  tar -xvf VSIGNS-HPUX-1708
