Hi

How to change the current Baan software path in Unix? Let say Baan4a is currently installed in this path /opt/baan4a. Then change it to /opt/mft/Baan4a. What are the files or session need to be edited/executed?

Thanks.

Hi NAS,

from the top of mey head you will need to change the following files:

a) in $BSE/etc/rc*
contain a definition of the BSE variable

b) in $BSE/lib
several runtime files contain the BSE path hardcoded, mainly because during installation and later configuration the BSE variable was not used. Most likely you will find the path in the following files:

auditdef6.1, bisam6.1, fd*

You can easily verify this with a grep command.

After changing the above, your Baan will start and you can connect. Then you will need to change the tools tables which caused above pathes in the runtime files. If you do not know which tables, then the following might help you: Dump the company 000 with a seperator. This will create a dump file for each table. Now again with agrep you can identify the tables, which contain the BSE path.

I did the above a couple of times for several customers. It can be done.
