Upgrading SPD Server 4.x to SPD Server 4.5
Overview of Upgrading from SPD Server 4.x to SPD Server 4.5
SPD Server 4. x tables are compatible for use with SPD Server 4.5. No conversion is
required to use SPD Server 4. x tables with SPD Server 4.5. You can start SPD Server 4.5
using domains that include tables created by any SPD Server 4. x host.
Configuring SPD Server Host Software for Your
Site
After you install SPD Server 4.5, you must configure SPD Server to run on your server
machine. The SPD Server 4.5 installation contains only 64-bit components.

2. Six files need to be copied from the
InstallDir/samples
directory to the
InstallDir/site
directory:
rc.spds
pwdb
spdsserv.parm
killrc
libnames.parm
rc.perf
3. In the
InstallDir/site
directory, edit the pwdb script file.

The pwdb file configuration must be modified to point to the INSTDIR= path, the path
where your copy of SPD Server is installed.

INSTDIR=<explicit UNIX path to your SPD Server Installation Directory>
4. Invoke the pwdb script from the
/site
subdirectory to create an initial SPD Server
