Side by Side Install

Hi all, we are currently on 10.2.700.8 and are possibly looking into updating to 10.2.700.39. We’d like to have both versions on the same server. Does anyone have a procedure written to do this? I will need my testers to be able to run both versions so they can test and compare. I know how to do this on the client but what about the server and db’s?

That’s a minor patch (this seems like overkill) however
You are going to have to backup your db
restore to a new slot
install the patch on the server
spin up a new AppServer pointing to your backed up Db with the new patch
Regen datamodel
Run Db Migration (Conversion Workbench)

Then you have to deploy the new sysconfig the client, which will trigger a download of the .9 Update file, I’d recommend a completely separate Client folder (A new install) on the client side.

Again though for a minor patch this seems (in my humble opinion) overkill. We do this for Service packs and Major Upgrades, but minor patches are just bug fixes and generally pretty safe.
