T24 Updates is a software support mechanism for T24. T he Updates system allows the user to sear searc c t e p ates ates epos epos tory tory or re evan evantt xes xes or t e r env env ronm ronmen ents ts.. ese ese can then be downloaded and installed onto the T24 server system. This will provide the customer with a faster response time with regard to fixes. This is a web based front end where clients search for f ixes for their installed products and select an appropriate fix to download. The system identifies any dependencies they have and packages the updates into a zip file for them to download. It is this zip file that forms the input for The T24 Updater tool.

The T24 family of products, T24 itself, TAFC, TAFJ, TAGJ, T24 Browser, ARC-IB and T24 oo ox. They can be updated, either automatically or manually. For example, a new version of T24 Browser together with T 24 can be provided in an update, the server code will install automatically autom atically and the setup files for the browser are extracted for you to install. The T24 Updater will also verify the current version you are using and advise if the one supplied is not a valid update. It is possible that an update could contain several products (TAFC, T 24 Browser, ARC-IB etc) you are more likely to keep your system updated with smaller updates so you can selfmanage the impact of taking changes. In summary T24 Updater has built in version check ing for the T24 products and a dependency checker that will safeguard the installation of your selected updates. Updates should not be done until the appropriate levels of backups have been made according to what parts are being updated.

This is an overview of how the T24 T 24 Updates system works. The bank requires an update. It can search for the updates in the Temenos Customer Support Portal (tcsp), provided the bank has registered with the tcsp. After the registration, the bank should register its T24 system with the Temenos Customer Support Portal. This is a one time step. The system information (in the form of an xml file) should be extracted from the bank’s T24 Server using toolbox and with the extracted information, the T24 system can be registered with tcsp. The bank should login to the tcsp, select the registered T24 system, c heck for available updates. A list of available updates will be provided to the bank. The bank may then choose an appropriate update, download and install it using the T24 updater tool.

Set the directory permissions on the installed updater directory. Ensure that the updater.bat or up ater.s e n t e up ater n as execute perm ss on. Part of the process of the updater tool involves the routines of the release procedure, so it is necessary to have access to a temp.release area. The update process uses the same build lists as a normal release and the infrastructure for these are readily available in a temp.release area. This is achieved by modifying the TEMP.RELEASE record in the SYSTEM file, as referenced by the environment variable JEDIFILENAME_SYSTEM.

The updater.xml file is used to configure the products that you can update using the updater too . t s use to spec y t e nsta at on pat an sto storage rector es. e e s ocate under the $T24_HOME/updater/config directory. It will be validated against the updater.xsd schema file that is located in the same directory. It contains a default entry for each T24 product that can be updated updated with the Updater. The tag is the path where you you must put your updates. While the TAFJ_HOME, JBCRELEASEDIR, T24_HOME variables are used in the configuration file, you may also provide the full path of these environment variables are not set in the .profile file. Each product has a section which defines the version check routine for the product, an section for the product install location and an section for the routine used to update the product. Move any products that aren’t in use inside the comment section that starts “Services not in use go here” Valid updateTypes are AUTO and MANUAL. MANUAL: the updater updater will validate the update but not perform the update. Manual updates will be moved to the setup_files directory after the updater terminates. AUTO: the and tags are m andatory as the updater will try to perform the update after it is validated. The updater will call the program program specified within the tag to actually do the update. Valid pathType attributes are EXEC, URL, and FILE. URL: the update update will be MANUAL. MANUAL. Application Applications s such as TAGJ and T24 BROWSER might might have multiple installations or servers that need to be updated. For this reason, updates are manual. EXEC: the updater will try executing the program in the tag FILE: the updater will simply read the file from the tag
