Upgrade Process

The process for upgrading is very similar to installing for the first time. See the installation guide for more details.

The update process is initiated from a shell command line.

On IBM i, this is done using a PASE shell (not QShell). The best way to use a PASE shell is to connect to your IBM i server via SSH using a Unix-style terminal emulator, such as PuTTY or Git Bash for Windows. This provides a friendlier interface for working with Node.js and other Unix-style commands on the command line. For more information on configuring SSH, follow this link: https://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/SSH. Alternatively, you can start a PASE shell from a TN5250 session by running the command CALL QP2TERM.

Next, use the cd (change directory) command to go to your Profound.js installation directory. From the Profound.js installation directory, use one of the commands below.

To display the the current Profound.js version, use the following command:
