Keeping customizations If you have done customizations directly in any StreamServe configuration files, these files might be overwritten when the hotfix is installed. Windows To keep your customizations, you must make backups of the files and store them in a place where they cannot be overwritten. When you have installed the hotfix, you can compare the old files with the new files and manually restore your customizations to the new files. For a complete list of the files that are not overwritten when applying a hotfix, see Appendix A - Preserved files on Windows. UNIX If you use the same Management Gateway root when you apply the hotfix, any customizations made to the configuration files are automatically identified. For each identified customization, a comment is issued and a copy of the old file is stored. You can then compare the old file with the new file and manually restore your customizations to the new file.
