Web Cache Patch
-------------------------------------
This distribution contains a patch for Oracle9iAS Web Cache version
2.0.0.3.0 for the Solaris 2.6 (and above) operating system.
For a list of bugs fixed, see readme.html
Files in the patch :
------------------
installpatch, webcached, webcachemon, libwebcachexml.a, main.o,
swxdmain.o, libwxd.a, install.txt, about.html, readme.html,
WCSinvalidation.dtd and invalidation.dtd
Steps for applying the patch :
----------------------------
1. Login in as Web Cache owner. Web Cache owner is basically
the owner of the file "webcached".
2. Run the install script from the command line. If Web Cache
is running, the script will stop it before proceeding with
the installation. This option will backup the original files
into ${ORACLE_HOME}/webcache/backup2003 and copy over the
patches.
> ./installpatch
3. Start Web Cache
> webcachectl start
Note :
----
The backup directory and all the files and subdirectories
below it should not be changed to any other owners or groups
and the priviliges should remain the same to make the restore
option work properly.
Steps for restoring the old files (Backing out of the patch) :
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Login in as Web Cache owner. Web Cache owner is basically
the owner of the file "webcached".
This can be done at the command line using the
following command:
> webcachectl stop
2. Run the install script with restore option. If Web Cache is
running, the script will stop it before proceeding with the
restoration. This option will move back the original files from
the backup directory to their corresponding Web Cache directory.
> ./installpatch restore
3. Start the Web Cache
> webcachectl start
Steps for running help :
----------------------
1. Run the install script with help option. This will show the
syntax of the install script.
> ./installpatch help
