Cloverleaf 5.8 installation confusion

[Kevin Scantlan]

We plan on upgrading from CL 5.4.1 to CL 5.8.5 .  Our OS is AIX 5.3  .  I downloaded the upgrade from lawson.com and placed it into it’s own directory on our server.  I then untarred the file.  I also downloaded the latest patch separately.  

In reading the “Cloverleaf Integration Suite Installation Guide” that I run into some confusion.  I go to the “AIX v5.3 TL8 and 6.1 TL1 Update Install” section.   I get down to “AIX Update Pre-Installation” and step 3 talks about CD drives.  If I downloaded the executables, then I should not need a CD drive.  But yet it’s still listed.  That’s where the confusion is.  It doesn’t mention anything about “if you downloaded….”.    Am I looking in the wrong place in the document?  

Any enlightment would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin,

You can untar the file to a directory under root, then install from there.  You will need to make sure that you download the latest patch for CIS on AIX…which I believe at the time of this writing 5.8.5.4.  The patch will need to be installed as hci user, so be sure to make it available to that user.  

To obtain a license, send a request to crm3@lawson.com for a license key. When you receive the license key form, fill in the information, including your host ID.  Return the form to crm3@lawson.com. Your license key will be processed and sent to you with instructions on where to install it.  

Call support if you have further issues with the install.  The install instructions are being updated for the next release.

I went to MyLawson.com and found the release notes and it says version 5.8.5.0, published January 2012.

You are correct…5.8.5.0 is the current, highest release that is generally available.  My mistake.

No problem.  It wasn’t easy to find.  I finally gave up and did a search on “Cloverleaf download”.  Even then I had to wander about until I stumbled upon it.
