T24 Updates is a software support mechanism for T24. The Updates system allows the user
to search the T24 Updates Repository for relevant fixes for their T24 environments. These
to search the T24 Updates Repository for relevant fixes for their T24 environments. These
can then be downloaded and installed onto the T24 server system. This will provide the
customer with a faster response time with regard to fixes.
This is a web based front end where clients search for fixes for their installed products and
select an appropriate fix to download.
The system identifies any dependencies they have and packages the updates into a zip file
for them to download.
It is this zip file that forms the input for The T24 Updater tool.

They can be updated, either automatically or manually.
For example, a new version of T24 Browser together with T24 can be provided in an update,
the server code will install automatically and the setup files for the browser are extracted for
you to install. The T24 Updater will also verify the current version you are using and advise if
the one supplied is not a valid update.
It is possible that an update could contain several products (TAFC, T24 Browser, ARC-IB
etc) you are more likely to keep your system updated with smaller updates so you can self-
manage the impact of taking changes.
In summary T24 Updater has built in version checking for the T24 products and a
dependency checker that will safeguard the installation of your selected updates.
Updates should not be done until the appropriate levels of backups have been made
according to what parts are being updated.

This is an overview of how the T24 Updates system works.
The bank requires an update.
It can search for the updates in the Temenos Customer Support Portal (tcsp), provided the
bank has registered with the tcsp.
After the registration, the bank should register its T24 system with the Temenos Customer
Support Portal. This is a one time step. The system information (in the form of an xml file)
should be extracted from the banks T24 Server using toolbox and with the extracted
information, the T24 system can be registered with tcsp.
The bank should login to the tcsp, select the registered T24 system, check for available
updates.
A list of available updates will be provided to the bank.
The bank may then choose an appropriate update, download and install it using the T24
updater tool.

n1 This is an overview of T24 Updates, this involves many other steps that is not vital every time an update
is performed. This slides gives trainees a basic idea of the T24 Update system. Every step is defined in
detail in the coming slides.
The pre-requisites for installing T24 Updater tool are:
Java Runtime Environment 1.5 or above
R09 or above
The appropriate version of gtar for your Unix platform, or tar for your Windows
based platform with PATH variable set
T24 Updater tool installer files for your platform
Note: The gtar utility is similar to tar but can handle the longer file or path names that can
occur.
Note: The tar utility is not supplied as standard in Windows but commercial, open source or
free versions are available. You may need to amend your path to ensure the command is
usable in the T24 home directory.

Install T24 Updater Tool.

Obtain the T24ProductUpdater_<OS>.tar file from distribution (distribution@temenos.com)
T24 Updater Tool installation is a one step process that involves extraction of the installation
file under the bnk.run directory
It creates a directory by name updater under bnk.run
The directory structure is self-explanatory from its names:
bin: holds the executable files (updater.bat or updater.sh)
config: holds the configuration files (updater.xml)
lib: holds all the library files for the T24 Updater tool
processed: holds a list of all the processed updates
setup_files: holds the files that gets created during an updater process, these files
have to be installed manually by the user.
updates: holds the downloaded updates that will be picked and processed by the
updater tool

Ensure that the following environment variables are set in the .profile file. T24_HOME is the
only mandatory variable, either TAFJ_HOME or JBCRELEASEDIR is required depending on
only mandatory variable, either TAFJ_HOME or JBCRELEASEDIR is required depending on
framework being used:
Variables
T24_HOME this is the run directory of your T24 area, for example the bnk.run
directory
TAFJ_HOME this is the install directory for TAFJ (Temenos Application Framework
Java)
JBCRELEASEDIR this is your TAFC (Temenos Application Framework C) install
directory
Path
Add $T24_HOME/updater/bin to your PATH environment variable.

Set the directory permissions on the installed updater directory. Ensure that the updater.bat
or updater.sh file in the updater/bin has execute permission.
or updater.sh file in the updater/bin has execute permission.
Part of the process of the updater tool involves the routines of the release procedure, so it is
necessary to have access to a temp.release area. The update process uses the same build
lists as a normal release and the infrastructure for these are readily available in a
temp.release area.
This is achieved by modifying the TEMP.RELEASE record in the SYSTEM file, as
referenced by the environment variable JEDIFILENAME_SYSTEM.

The updater.xml file is used to configure the products that you can update using the updater
tool. It is used to specify the installation path and storage directories. The file is located
tool. It is used to specify the installation path and storage directories. The file is located
under the $T24_HOME/updater/config directory. It will be validated against the updater.xsd
schema file that is located in the same directory. It contains a default entry for each T24
product that can be updated with the Updater. The <updatesdir> tag is the path where you
must put your updates. While the TAFJ_HOME, JBCRELEASEDIR, T24_HOME variables
are used in the configuration file, you may also provide the full path of these environment
variables are not set in the .profile file.
Each product has a <path> section which defines the version check routine for the product,
an <installpath> section for the product install location and an <installprogram> section for
the routine used to update the product. Move any products that arent in use inside the
comment section that starts Services not in use go here
Valid updateTypes are AUTO and MANUAL.
MANUAL: the updater will validate the update but not perform the update. Manual updates
will be moved to the setup_files directory after the updater terminates.
AUTO: the <installpath> and <installprogram> tags are mandatory as the updater will try to
perform the update after it is validated. The updater will call the program specified within the
<installprogram> tag to actually do the update.
Valid pathType attributes are EXEC, URL, and FILE.
URL: the update will be MANUAL. Applications such as TAGJ and T24 BROWSER might
have multiple installations or servers that need to be updated. For this reason, updates are
manual.
EXEC: the updater will try executing the program in the <path> tag
FILE: the updater will simply read the file from the <path> tag
21
The updater must be run from the run directory ($T24_HOME) if T24 is a product specified
in the updater.xml file.
in the updater.xml file.
If the updater is used to keep the T24 product updated it must be run from the home
directory of the T24 database, as defined in the T24_HOME variable if set.
After processing an update, the T24Updates.zip file will be moved to the processed
directory. If by chance any old files remain in the updates directory, remove them before
running any new update as they could conflict with a newer update for the same product.
To run the Updater, follow these steps:
1) Ensure that your PATH is set correctly to the $T24_HOME/updater/bin directory.
2) Place any updates in the updates directory without unzipping them.
3) Finally, type updater at the jsh prompt or standard command prompt
22
The T24.UPDATES field in SPF is used to identify what components have been updated
and which revision is installed. Any future update of this component must be greater than
and which revision is installed. Any future update of this component must be greater than
version 1, it does not need to go to version 2 next but can leap to the latest version.
