Upgrade

Upgrade batch file

A new parameter (PSQL_PATH) has been added to the CASTUpgrade_Config.txt file. This optional parameter is used to define the locations of the psql.exe binary that is used to perform the upgrade. See Automating the CAST AIP Upgrade process.

CAST Storage Service maintenance tools

A new parameter -psqlexedir has been added for the following tools:

• CSSBackup.exe
• CSSBackupAll.exe
  
• CSSRestore.exe
  
• CSSRestoreAll.exe
  

This allows the definition of an alternative location (for example, outside the CAST AIP installation folder) for the PostgreSQL binaries used for this tool:

• pg_dump.exe
• psql.exe
• pg_restore.exe
