You are trying to upgrade a Shareplex environment having one product directory (prodder) and multiple variable directories (vardir). You run into the following errors as some of the variable directories are dormant. Perhaps they are not in use and may have been incomplete for some reasons. The following is the screen shot:
# ./SharePlex_Oracle-5.3.0.63-SunOS-5.8-Oracle92.run
Creating directory SharePlex_Oracle-5.3.0.63-SunOS-5.8-Oracle92.run.tmp

Some variable directories may be incomplete. resulting in the installation script complaining about the problem
Some variable directories may be incomplete resulting in the installation script complaining about the problem. The error messages are as follows (indicating that the vardir for port 2300 has problems):
cat: cannot open /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2300/data/paramdb
==> Update invalid license key in /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2300 ...
cat: cannot open /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2300/data/paramdb
cp: cannot create /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2300/data/paramdb: No such file or directory
But it does not mean that the installation of the binaries is not successful. The installation script is actually waiting for the user to supply the appropriate vardir(s) from the menu containing valid vardir(s) that needs to be upgraded as seen in the following:
Select the vardir for upgrading SharePlex_Trans table and subqueue header file(s):
Option VarDirs
------ -------
1 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2200
2 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2100
3 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2400
4 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2200
5 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/vzmyacpe/vardir2500
6 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2600
7 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/vzmyacpe/vardir2500
D Done with the upgrading
Enter option [ 1 .. 7, D ]
At this point one can specify the appropriate vardir(s) to be upgraded. After one of them is specified, the installation script will upgrade it and then prompt with the same menu for any other vardir to be upgraded. This will go on in a loop till one wants to exit and presses the letter 'D'. The following illustrates this point. Suppose you want to only upgrade the vardirs listed in 1 and 5, then you can select them as follows
Option VarDirs
------ -------
1 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2200
2 /myacctdbe/u16/splex/myacctpe/vardir2100
