Extract the contents of the .ZIP file into the Radia Configuration Server BIN folder. (typically C:\Novadigm\ConfigurationServer\Bin on Windows) 3. Make a backup of the entire RCS database. 4. Stop the RCS service (ZTOPTASK). 5. Open a command prompt and change directories into the BIN folder. 6. Use the ZEDMAMS utility to import the export decks into the RCS database. The following command is an example: ZEDMAMSVERB=IMPORT_INSTANCE,FILE=RAM_WIN32_NT_4_0_HF_RNT07118.XPI, XPR=RAM_WIN32_NT_4_0_HF_RNT07118.XPR,PREVIEW=NO,REPLACE=YES, CONTINUE=YES,DUPLICATES=MANAGE,COMMIT_CHANGES=YES 7. Repeat step 6 for each of the version 4.x patch packages to be imported. Note: The parameters FILE=xxxx.XPI and XPR=xxxx.XPR shown in the previous example must be changed to the name of the export deck files provided in each of the version 4.x patch files. 8. Verify that the import process returns a rc=4 or rc=0. 9. Start the RCS service. 10.
