Upgrading Distributed Unstructured

The steps to upgrade the Distributed Unstructured (DU) software are the same as the installation instructions in Installing Distributed Unstructured. When you update the existing installation, each prompt defaults to the value that is specified for the current deployment. You can press Enter through the prompts to retain the existing settings. The last step in the process, however, asks if you want to overwrite files in the <AnzoDU_install_path>/etc directory that have been modified. Cambridge Semantics recommends that you choose ya (Yes To All) to overwrite all files in that directory so that important options from the version you are upgrading to are deployed to your environment. If you have customized files in the etc directory, create a backup copy of the directory before starting the upgrade so that you can refer to the backup files when customizing the new version.
