Hi,

Urgent help needed for intalling two versions of baan on the same machine.
I need BaaN4c4 and SSA ERP LN 6.1 on the same machine in order to perform a migration. The same issue for the databases but there I arrived to mange it a little bit.

Thank you very much.

What's your problem?

Anyway it's possible.

Regards,
Han

Well, I know it's possible but how ?
If I am launching BaaN4 it's setting it's own $BSE, then if I am launching ERP LN the same. So B4 will not work anymore.
Should I make two dseparate $BSE's ?

Thanks

Yes you need two separate $BSEs

You need 2 bse's. Within your client software (e.g. bw) you define which bse you use.

Hi Bogdan,

Yes you need two seperate BSE environments. In our case we have a /baan/bse and a /ln/bse environment the first one is for BaaNIV and the second one for LN. However to connect with the right environment you have to modify you BW-client as Han already said also be aware that you give the right path to you database server elsewhere it gets a little bit messy LOL.

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for your help.
Ok, I got it with the $BSE.
Yep, I will configure properly the clients.

My very best regards to all of you.

P.S. Thinking a little bit more: the env variable in AIX is BSE for the both systems, this means ..... ??? Systems are already installed, so is there a config file where BSE's declared or should I modify all the scripts ?

Thanks again

Bogdan,
Not sure what scripts you are talking about. The ones in $BSE/etc have the env variables inserted at installation time so they should be ok.
In case of your personal administration scripts you'll need to have two sets (one per BSE) with the appropriate environment setup. You can, as you suggested create a config script per BSE and use that in all your scripts to setup the needed variables.
In case of telnet connections to the server you can add some logic to your .profile that would let you choose the env at login time.

I hope I understood your question correctly

Kind regards,

Eduardo

Hi,

What I mean is that the BSE has the same name in erpln as in baan4.
So when I'll start LN the BSE will point to the LN value, and after if I will start B4 BSe will point to a diferent location.

So, BSe should be BSELN and BSEB4 for example; but this I can set up at installation point, i guess.

Thank you
