If part of an upgrade requires the moving or removal of machines, Links,
or changes of Point Code, then the SS7 Server needs to have the databases
flushed. This requires the whole SS7 Cluster to be closed down.
- (All Machines) Stop the D7 packages running on all machines.
- (All Machines) Update any license files as necessary.
- (All Machines) Copy across the configuration files that were updated by
SS7itty as outlined in Installing SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response.
- (SS7 Server) Use SS7_MAINT to flush the database. From the top-level
menu, use option C and then option F.
- (Blueworx Voice Response Client) If a machine is being removed or renamed (including change
of LAN address) perform the same flush operation on the Blueworx Voice Response clients.
- (SS7 Server) Start the D7 package, and apply the new configuration as
described in Installing SS7 Support for Blueworx Voice Response.
- (Blueworx Voice Response Client) If the client databases were flushed, repeat the operation
described above.
Once the above actions are complete, you should verify that the system
is working.
