    Files missing from www_x_eng directory

    • Article Type: General
    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 18.01

    Description:
    Why is there such a large difference in the no. of files in www_x_eng directory under ALEPH 18 (sourced from ALEPH 16) compared with the original ALEPH 18 www_x_eng directory issued as part of the installation set? I can't find reference to changes www_x_eng in Upgrade Express or Release Notes for ALEPH 17.01 or 18.01. How can I verify that I have the correct files in www_x_eng post Upgrade Express 17.01 - 18.01?

    ALEPH 18 /exlibris/aleph/u18_1.orig/alephe/www_x_eng directory contains only 6 files:

    Resolution:
    After discussion with the upgrade express team and 2nd line they have advised that the "extra" files (files which are not part of the seven files in www_x_eng of version 18) are files which existed in ver 16.

    It appears as though the u-tree from 16 was copied and then run the upgrade express kits 16-17 and 17-18 on it , which is correct.

    These files weren't deleted by the Upgrade Express kit (this wasn't seen as necessary functionality in the kit), however you may delete these files manually or temporarily moved to another directory and then deleted later.
