Issue/Introduction

CAISAG is abending with this message:

$$ERROR:  ADD-ON AND UPGRADE CONFIGURATIONS MUST BE DONE SEPARATELY

Environment

Release : All supported releases.

Cause

An UPGRADE configuration is one where a previously existing set of product components are being upgraded to a new maintenance level.

An ADD-ON configuration is one where new product components are being added to an existing configuration.

A CAISAG configuration process can be one or the other, but not both. If this message is being issued, then the parameter values assigned in VARBLIST are a combination that indicates both an UPGRADE and an ADD-ON configuration is being attempted.

Most likely, GJUPGRAD is set to YES and at least one of the xxxADDON parameters in the ADD-ON CONFIGURATION section at the end of the VARBLIST member is also set to YES.

Resolution

Review and change the VARBLIST parameter settings according to whether an UPGRADE or an ADD-ON configuration is being performed.

*    This section is for an upgrade configuration.  If an earlier     *
*    release of CA IDMS is installed at your site and you don't       *
*    want to delete your existing database files, do an upgrade       *
*    configuration.                                                   *
*                                                                     *
*    An upgrade configuration updates dictionary files if             *
*    entities such as messages and protocols have changed since       *
*    earlier releases.  However, an upgrade configuration does        *
*    not allocate or format any database files unless you elect       *
*    to install the SYSSQL and/or SQLDEMO databases to take           *
*    advantage of the new SQL Web Connect feature.                    *
*                                                                     *
*    For an upgrade configuration, all the products from the          *
*    previous release should be selected.                             *
*                                                                     *
*    When doing an upgrade configuration, do not select additional    *
*    products.  Select only the products that were installed on       *
*    your earlier system.  Then do an ADDON configuration for any     *
*    additional product(s).                                           *
