Is my TeamForge site "dedicated" or "advanced?"

Check the value of the DEDICATED_INSTALL variable to see what kind of site you are working with.

The type of TeamForge installation you have makes a difference for how you upgrade and patch the site. If you weren't the one who installed your existing site, you'll need to find out if your site is a dedicated or advanced installation.

One easy way to tell if you have an advanced site is to check if any of your site's services are running on separate boxes from the main TeamForge application. This can only happen on an advanced site.

However, if your site has all its services running on the same box, it is not necessarily a dedicated site in the sense that we're talking about. You can have an advanced site on a single box.

If there is any doubt, look in the site's master configuration file.

Open the site-options.conf file. This is the master configuration file that controls your TeamForge site.
- vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/6.1.1.0/conf/site-options.conf
Note: vi is an example. Any *nix text editor will work.
Look for the DEDICATED_INSTALL variable.
- If DEDICATED_INSTALL is set to true, the TeamForge you have a dedicated installation, with the default configuration and minimal user intervention.
- If DEDICATED_INSTALL is set to false, or is not present, you have an advanced installation, with customizations appropriate to this particular site's conditions and use patterns.
As you work through the instructions for upgrading or patching your site, watch for notes like this one:
Note: If you are working with a dedicated TeamForge installation, you can skip this. See Is my TeamForge site "dedicated" or "advanced?"
If you do have a dedicated site, this may help lighten your load a little.
