Step 3: Working of Child Installer

This section provides step by step working of child installer and what happens when you bypass the parent installer.

The TAFJ child installer:

1. Calls the TAFJRuntime API and invokes the T24.UPDATE.INSTALLER program with arguments install_path (directory where update lives) and update_file (the actual update).
2. Copies JARs from the Temenos Transact component and updates them to the directory defined in the temn.tafj.directory.updates property in tafj.properties.
3. Deletes temporary directory where update was unzipped.

If you want to bypass the parent installer (not suggested), then you need to run the command below:

t24Updater –install_path <path> -update_file <absolute_path_to_update>

In this case, you must first unzip the updates file to install_path. The above command does not verify the version or dependency of the updates.
