Updating the ON-Bar script during reinstallation

After you reinstall the database server, you might need to update the script that is installed with ON-Bar. Existing customized scripts were backed up by the installation process so that you can reuse the content.

The installation program installs the default onbar shell script on UNIX™ and the default onbar.bat batch script on Windows™. If the default script differs from the local script, the installation program backs up the local script and issues a message to inform you that the local script was renamed. The naming convention of the renamed file is onbar.date, where date is the date when the file was renamed. For example, the file onbar.2012.05.15 was renamed on May 15, 2012.

You can update the default script by adding information to it from the renamed script.
