PGRADE PROCEDURE
1-1
INTRODUCTION
This release note includes procedures to upgrade your SE 6000 from version 5.1 or 5.2 to version
5.3 (earlier versions need to be upgraded to 5.2 and then to 5.3). In addition, this release note
includes procedures to upgrade your Polaroid system. It also includes a lists of enhancements for
version 5.3.
Enhancements for Version 5.3
Release 5.3 of the SE 6000 product includes the following enhancements:
n Includes the most recent version of the SCO UNIX Operating System (OS). This OS is more
robust and faster and positions us for future upgrades.
n Operates with the current version of the Unify Database (3.liae). This resolves a number of
issues, including making it easier to support local languages and improved speed and
reliability. The Unify database will support HUGE_DATE which will be required to support
year 2000 type changes.
n Unify database supports ODBC which is required for the current revision of the Polaroid
system. This is a new integration of Polaroid ID-4000 (version 1.04) and the SE 6000 which
is more robust and resolves most of the limitations with the older ID-4000 (version 1.01).
n The ODBC also provides read-only access to the database allowing standard MS-Windows
database report generators. Crystal Reports has been tried successfully.
n Supports NexSentry Controller (version 2.0) which has expanded space for more keys,
independent PIN, and direct dial in, etc.
n Added database fields to support longer names and middle names for forward compatibility.
n Supports the T-4000 Travan-4 (4Gb) tape drive.
n No longer supports the Irwin mini-cartridge tape drive (120MB).
UPGRADE PROCEDURES
If this upgrade also includes upgrading your Polaroid system, perform the procedures in Section
2 before you upgrade the SE 6000; otherwise, continue with this section.
The upgrade for the SE 6000 consists of four phases plus a procedure for copying fonts if you are
using Reflections X.
n Phase 1 saves the system configuration files/database onto the scratch tape.
