3.2 Updating from the Novell Downloads Web Site
When you update the Mobility Pack software from the Novell Downloads Web site, you manually
download and install the software whenever you choose.

Download the Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack Update 2 ISO file from
Novell
Downloads (http://download.novell.com)
to a convenient temporary directory on the
Synchronizer server.
IMPORTANT:
The Mobility Pack Update 2 software is located on the
Patches
list, not the
Products
list.

Use YaST to update the Mobility Pack repository from the new ISO file:
2a
Under
Groups
, click
Software
, then click
Patch CD Update
.
2b
Follow the prompts to install the updated software from the ISO file.
3
Run the Update script to update the Synchronizer database (
datasync
) and the Mobility
database (
mobility
) for use with the updated software:
/opt/novell/datasync/update.sh
4
Restart the Synchronizer services.
5
Verify that Update 2 has been applied:
cat /opt/novell/datasync/version
The version number in the
version
file should match the version number in the filename of the
ISO from which you installed Update 2. For convenience, this version number is also displayed
in Synchronizer Web Admin.
