Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for auto matic ⁇ modify the master installation of computers.
- computers are upgraded to a basic software version by means of a so-called master installation.
- This master installation is carried out by production or service on a computer. It is used to prepare for later application software to be used to operate the computer for certain applications.
- the master installation defines certain default settings that are required by various application software programs.
- a specific master installation is usually carried out on a large number of computers. For example, the basic settings of the control PCs of switching systems in telecommunications systems are made by a master installation which is imported during the manufacture of the control PC and can be changed by the service if necessary.
- a system program system is loaded onto the control PCs of a switching system of a telecommunications system, by means of which the telecommunications system is controlled.
- this object is achieved by a method (master installation upgrade installation) having the features of claim 1, advantageous configurations being derived from the subclaims.
- a method master installation upgrade installation
- the Ma ⁇ art installation of computers by an application software automatically changed by the following steps in the inventive shaped procedures:
- a change software (master installation upgrade) is stored on an output medium for the application software, the change software comprising information by means of which a master installation of a computer can be changed.
- the application software is then installed on the computer together with the change software via their input medium.
- the change software then automatically changes the master installation of the computer.
- An advantage of the method according to the invention is that the master installation of a computer can be changed automatically. With this method, it is no longer necessary to make manual changes to the master installation of each computer on which the application software is to run, or to make the master installation of each computer again from scratch. Furthermore, the possibility is created to use the information contained in the change software to change certain default settings that were made by the original master installation, adapted to specific application software programs.
- a version of the application software is also stored on the input medium of the application software and is also transmitted to the computer during installation.
- the automatic change of the master installation can then take place depending on the application software version already installed on the computer and the application software version to be installed.
- the automatic change is advantageously carried out only if the application software version installed on the computer is an earlier one than the application software version to be newly installed.
- FIG. 1 shows a flow diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the method
- FIG. 2 shows schematically the partitioning of the input medium for the application software.
- step 1 information about the version of the application software AS is stored in a further area (9) of the input medium (12) in step 2. Thereafter, in step 3, a change software ⁇ S m is stored on another area (10) of the output medium (12).
- the ⁇ S change software contains information about the changes that are to be made to the master installation of a specific computer on which the application software AS is to be installed.
- the change software ⁇ S can be used to change database parameter files or other basic settings of the computer.
- step 4 An application software AS is then stored in step 4 of the method on the input medium (12) for the application software AS.
- the application software AS is installed on the computer together with the additional information stored on the output medium (12) via this input medium (12).
- both the application software AS and the change software ⁇ S and, if applicable, the version information are transferred to the computer.
- step 6 if a version information was stored on the input medium (12) and has also been transmitted, a query can be carried out as to whether the version already installed on the computer is an earlier version than the version to be newly installed. If the result of this query is negative, as is indicated by a "No" in step 6, the method ends after step 6 in step 8 and the master installation of the computer is not changed and the application software is not installed. If the result of the query is positive, ie the version of the application software AS to be installed is newer (higher) than the version already installed, as indicated by a "yes" in step 6, the method continues with step 7.
- step 7 the computer uses the change software ⁇ S which is transferred to it to change the master installation MI and installs the application software. The process then ends in step 8.
- Figure 2 shows em partitioned input medium (12) through which an application software AS can be transferred to a computer.
- the input medium 12 can be, for example, an HP-DAT streamer, a magnetic tape, a CD, a magneto-optical disk or another suitable storage medium.
- the input medium (12) is partitioned such that the application software AS is stored in an area (11) and, separately therefrom, the change software ⁇ S is stored in an area (10).
- a version of the application software AS can be stored in a further area ( 9 ) of the output medium (12).
