Can the OpenDeploy(6.1) that is shipped with CH2.1 be upgraded to OD 6.1.1?

Paul,
Sorry for the delayed reply. The OD that ships with ControlHub is not upgradeable. There is a patch for OD 6.1 that can be applied to pick up important changes.

I dont know all the features of OD/I m a newbie to these technologies.
Can somebody please tell me whether the below scenario is possible.

We are in the planning phase of upgrading TeamSite 6.1 SP1 (Solaris 8) to TeamSite 6.7.1 (Linux). In the present system, we have a scenario where OD (in Solaris) can post content to Commerce server (again in Solaris).

Can the OD be configured in Linux so as to deploy contents to a Commerce server on a solaris box.

Any devnet thread/document/ppt that justifies such a scenario - deeply appreciated.

Thanks much.
Sivaram

i never tested it, but i think it is possible because if we can deploy b/w unix and windows, why not b/w solaris and linux? but i am sure there are things to be careful with such as case senstivity and other things... why dont you do a test? and let us know Smiley Happy

We have already upgraded to 6.1.1 on linux and deploy successfully from Solaris to linux and vice versa. The only problem with 6.1.1 on linux is that the use of adapters causes a 100% cpu utilization and they all fail, due to a bug in the IBM JRE that ships with OpenDeploy. I alerted Interwoven Support to the issue back in December and am still waiting for a fix to be made. Also, DataDeploy is pretty buggy when used with TeamSite 6.7.1. Interwoven changed the way they do their remote procedure calls, but don't clean up the connections properly, resulting in our case of out of memory conditions and crashes.

If you don't need or use adapters or DataDeploy, you should be fine.
