Category: Install
Status: Closed

Severity: HIGH
Reported against release: 0.8
Fixed in release: 0.9

PROBLEM:

1) When using hotinstall on large images (800K), the hotinstall does 
not work very well.  Specifically, I installed the RedBlueTopLink_im 
(built on or after 4/23) using the drag and drop in the Windows 
explorer.  Looking at the log (which is attached), it appears that the 
hotinstall saw the file prior to the file copy completing.  The file 
was not installed; it remained in the hotinstall directory.

2) A second copy of the file yielded a concurrent access exception, 
indicating another problem (in the same log).  This caused the 
component to not be resolved until the core was restarted.

ANALYSIS:

ANALYSIS (Implementation):

The root cause is human error. If a user uses another ICD to create a 
new ICD, the user may forget to ensure the uniqueID is unique.

The suggested solution is to modify the Installer to check the uniqueID 
before jar extraction.

WORKAROUND:

There are several potential workarounds:

1) Don't use hotinstall (not really a workaround)
2) Delete and re-copy the file (it might work the second time, it might 
not ...)
3) Restart the installer or core.
