AutoMax Version Update Utility
AutoMax Executive V3.3 (and later) creates a DPS drive parameter database for
each rack when it is added to a system. However, prior to version 3.3, the
AutoMax Programming Executive did not create parameter databases. The
Version Update utility will add parameter databases to racks created with versions
3.0Ć3.2 of the AutoMax Programming Executive software.
The Version Update utility works at the AutoMax library level. It will create
parameter databases for all the racks in the systems contained in the AutoMax
libraries you designate. The update utility will have no effect on AutoMax
Executive V3.3 (and later) systems in these libraries. Use the following procedure
to create parameter databases.
Step 1. Make backup copies of all AutoMax libraries that you want to update.
Step 2. Access the Windows Program Manager.
Step 3. Access the Resource Group and select AMXUPDAT.EXE. A dialog box
will be displayed that warns that all libraries that are to be updated
should be backed up first. Select OK to display the AutoMax Version
Update dialog box.
Step 4. Enter the drive letter and the names of one or more libraries that contain
the AutoMax systems you want to update.
Step 5. Select OK to begin updating the systems in the designated libraries. You
will receive a message when the procedure is completed.
Step 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to update additional libraries or select Cancel to
return to the Program Manager.
