thsundel sounds like they ‘said’: So my response to thsundel’s comment is… Mine went smooth except for the GWIA gwha.conf getting messed up. I had to have NTS sort that out for me. – Stevo ---

Stevo,[color=blue] > Mine went smooth except for the GWIA gwha.conf getting messed up.[/color] Ah, yes. Did it create an extra entry for GWIA, without a blank line in between?

It has been reported to Novell with 2012 as well. I added your info to the thread in the back room. Just for the lurkers: What happens is that the installer inserts an extra duplicate entry for gwia in the gwha.conf. This makes the script that loads go goom and gwia is reported as “loaded”, but then shown as “dead” – Anders Gustafsson (NKP) The Aaland Islands (N60 E20) Have an idea for a product enhancement?

Just to share that this GW upgrade was the smoothest one for many years. First, the installer program now actually works! Can’t say the same for the installer in GW8 and GW12 - python was always spitting out errors, so you had to run it again and again and again until it was successfull. Last week I’ve upgraded a fairly complex GW system (OES Cluster, 3 domains, 3 post offices, webaccess and gwia - all on a 2-node OES cluster, and all of them as separate cluster resources, so you can distribute them among the physical nodes as you like) from 2012 to 2014sp1hp1, not a single error was produced! ## – Simeonof Simeonof’s Profile: [https://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=1373](https://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=1373) View this thread: [https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=481098](https://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=481098) ---
