Upgrading External Gateway
Paul Timms
6-30-17
When My Standard is used to upgrade a server version, the clients are automatically upgraded to the new version when they next log in. However, an external gateway client running on Linux does not automatically upgrade and therefore stops working. This can happen even if one hob file changes on the server. When the gateway starts up, it says:

Bad or not allowed HAL or HOB file in client hob/startlib.hob, hob/cleng.hob

for example, and then shuts down. Is there a correct procedure to update the gateway, other than downloading the HDB to an old Windows/Mac client, upgrading it, then uploading the HDB, hobs, executables etc. to the server?
