Upgrading Zend Server for IBMi

There are several options for upgrading Zend Server for IBMi. These options change according to the version you may have already installed on your system.

Installing Zend Server for IBMi over an existing installation of Zend Server for IBMi automatically upgrades the previous version installed in your server.

When the Zend Server for IBMi installation is run, the RSTLICPGM command creates a copy of the etc directory as follows:
