Are you using Unicode? I just checked my logs and on Solaris 10 (Oracle no Unicode) it did not do the import on the shared instance. You might check your install log and see if the installer accepted your input as shared. The log location is /usr/tmp/ar_install.log Fred

All home grown stuff with no OOB applications. Also migrating to brand new application hosts and database hosts. This will allow us to leave the entire production environment untouched while we do the upgrade. ARS is Solaris 9 with Sybase 12.5 on RHEL Abbreviated Steps: 1. Take a COLD copy of the production database and import to new database host. 2. Run 7.1 install on first server which will perform the necessary updates to the database. This will also include running email and flash boards install. 3. Run 7.1 install on second server and run as a shared install not upgrade. This will also include running email and flash boards install. Question: Step 3: All three installs appear to importing the same forms even though the first install took care of that. This step seems to take the longest, about 25 minutes. I'm talking about the Administrator, email and flash boards forms. A. Is is possible to run the shared install but have it not import anything but just install the necessary files on the host? B. If not, can I just copy the entire install directory from the first host to the second and make sure any host specific files are updated? I was able to actually do part B without any issues but wanted to get the communities take on doing an install that way. Thank you.
