Best Practices for Using Update Manager
After installing Update Manager, consider the following guidelines:
To avoid file or product conflicts, do not run the
Update Manager and
Software AG Installer at the same time.
Do not modify or remove files from the
Update Manager installation directory or the <Software AG_directory>\install directory, because they have metadata that is used by
Update Manager and the
Installer.
Back up the
Update Manager installation directory regularly, in synchronization with your regular backups of your
Software AG products. These backups ensure that
Software AG can restore the products as well as the
Update Manager metadata to a known point of time. Keep at least the latest backup so you can restore
Update Manager from it.
Warning:
Do not copy/paste files from the Update Manager installation. This leads to errors in the installation when using it in the future.
To avoid self update issues, make sure you are using the latest version of
Update Manager.
