Service Pack installer does not install correct procedure library file versions with a FULL install

Service pack installer does not install correct file versions for FULL install.

A new Installation of 11.7.4 or 11.7.5 installs old PL-Files

Service Pack installer does not install correct versions of procedure libraries (.PL) when performing a FULL installation of OpenEdge 11.7.

Problem affects such files as:

gui\OpenEdge.Core.pl
gui\OpenEdge.BusinessLogic.pl
gui\OpenEdge.ServerAdmin.pl
gui\netlib\OpenEdge.Net.pl

Installing a full OpenEdge 11.7 version with the 11.7.4 or 11.7.5 Service Pack installer.
Post install a variety of problems when running code relating to one or more of these procedure libraries.

Problem #1
After installing a full copy of 11.7.4, running the following code raises error 12927:

The ServerNameIndicator method cannot be found in the Class Browser in the OpenEdge.Net.HTTP.Lib.ClientLibraryBuilder class:


Problem #2
Running the following code fails with errors 13203 (relating to TEMP-TABLE ConfigOption definitions), 10068, 3135 as a result of the wrong version of gui\OpenEdge.Core.pl being present:

The definition of the ConfigOption TEMP-TABLE changes between 11.7.0 and 11.7.4.
 

Installing Openedge 11.7 with the FCS or a full install with earlier Service Packs does not have this problem.

Differences can be seen when comparing file versions with an OpenEdge 11.7.4 installation where OpenEdge 11.7 was previously installed from an earlier release and 11.7.4 was installed as a Service Pack update to the initial install.  

Properties from a FULL installation performed by the 11.7.4 service pack installer:

 

 

The 11.7 Service Pack installation completes successfully, but some of the library file versions that were updated since 11.7.4 are not correct. The problem is not immediately obvious and can only be seen by running code or by comparing file versions with a valid installation.  

The reason is that reference to serverNameIndicator method was not found in a certain class because, for example the OpenEdge.Net.pl file which needs to be referred for this method has two versions inside OE installer, the artifact for the 11.7.0.0 GA release and that for the Service Pack.

Upgrade to OpenEdge 11.7.6 Service Pack or later. Where the correct library file version are installed with the Service Pack.

 

Option 1:  Re-install the Service Pack

After installing the 11.7 Service Pack as the Full install, re-install the service pack from the service pack installer. The correct files are installed in the second run because the 11.7 Service Pack is then found and only re-installs the SP content.

1.  Answer 'No'  - to re-install the Service Pack:

--------------------------- 
Question 
--------------------------- 
This service pack has already been installed. 
Would you like to add products to the existing installation? 

Choose Yes to add additional products to this installation. 
Choose No to re-apply the service pack to this installation. 
--------------------------- 
Yes No 
--------------------------- 

2.  Answer 'Yes'  - to confirm reinstalling the Service Pack

--------------------------- 
Question 
--------------------------- 
OpenEdge r11.7 already has Service Pack 4 installed. 

Would you like to proceed with this reinstall of Service Pack 4? 

Click "No" to exit. 
--------------------------- 
Yes No 
--------------------------- 

Once the Service Pack is re-installed, the correct version of these procedure library files resolving the problem:
    




Option 2:  Replace the Full Service Pack Install procedure libraries

Include the required procedure libraries as part of application code deployment, or added these as a "post-install batch" to copy the needed libraries to the full SP install.
