Copy Portion of a Unified Driver
When the copy portion of a unified driver runs, AutoPatch performs the following actions:
– Extracts the appropriate files from the C library of each product.
– Compares the extracted object modules with their corresponding files in the patch directory. It also makes this type of comparison with files such as forms, reports, and SQL scripts.
– Backs up any product file with a more recent version in the patch directory to a subdirectory in the patch directory. For example, if is the patch directory, is the Applications System name, is the APPL_TOP name, and is the name of the product being patched, it backs up:
_TOP//
to
/backup/////
Note: The Applications system name and the APPL_TOP name are determined during the Rapid Install process.
