Re: [Gusdev-gusdev] Building GUS on a previous installation

[Pablo N. M. <pa...@pa...>]

Hi Sucheta,
I apologize for the delay on responding to you. I'll try to give you the
best of my short knowledge on GUS up to now. Most of this you probably
already know.

The installation shouldn't touch the data at all. However, we had all
the oracle sequences in the database reset to 1 the first time we tried
to rebuild GUS. The installation seems to be fixed now, as long as we've
ran it again with no problem.

All the database-related installation seems to be performed separately
(for example the create-db.sh script). Looks like the build just
generates the object layer.

Probably the only way to make sure is to take a look at the Ant tasks
(build.xml), but I just wanted to let you know that we've not observed
any abnormality up to now.

Besides the table creation itself, you will probably want to create an
oracle sequence to handle the primary key auto increment. Then you'll
need rerun the grantPermissions.pl script to give you rights to access
the recently created stuff.

Best regards,
Pablo
