6.7.0 to 6.7.1 upgrade does not require file-in
There are no image changes between GS/32 versions 6.7.0 to 6.7.1, so a file-in of kernel methods during an upgrade is not necessary. But we do still need to update internal version information and the (Globals at: #DbfHistory) String.
If you are performing a 6.7.0 to 6.7.1 upgrade, you may safely ignore the normal upgrade procedure and instead use the following instructions:
1. Request the script upgradeImage670to671 from GemTalk Technical Support.
2. Stop your 6.7.0 stone and netldi.
3. Update your $GEMSTONE to the 6.7.1 release.
4. Do a normal startstone (do NOT use startstone -C).
5. Execute the upgradeImage670to671 script:
unix> upgradeImage670to671 -s <stone> -p <passwordForSystemUser>
Note that you *do not* need to change the SystemUser password back to the default 'swordfish' to do the upgrade. If the password *is* 'swordfish' you can omit the -p <password> parameters when calling the upgradeImage670to671 script.
This completes the 6.7.0 to 6.7.1 upgrade procedure. Note that (Globals at: #DbfHistory) will have the following appended to indicate this:
GemStone 6.7 to 6.7.1 QUICK upgrade (no kernel file-in) completed at DD/MM/20YR HR:MN:SC
