1) Stop the Dbvisit Standby schedule(s) (recommended but not essential).
2) Unzip the dbvisit51_win32.zip to a temporary location.
3) Double click the Dbvisit Standby Windows installer: Dbvisit51-Inst.exe
4) Choose only the Dbvisit Standby software.
Unselect the Bitvise WinSSHD and Bitvise Tunnelier component.
Unselect the Configure SSH2 component.
5) Say Yes to "Do you want to configure and setup Dbvisit Standby now".
This ensures all the latest parameters are available in the Dbvisit Standby Database
configuration (DDC) file and that the Dbvisit Standby Database repository (DDR)
is up to date.
i) Choose option 6) Update Dbvisit Standby Database configuration (DDC) file.
ii) Choose the Database for which to upgrade the DDC file.

iv) A new copy of the DDC file will created and a backup copy will be made.
v) Choose option 5) Manage Dbvisit Standby Database repository (DDR).
vi) Choose option 3) Check version of Dbvisit Standby Database repository (DDR)
If this indicates that the DDR needs updating, then choose option 1 to
update DDR.
If the DDR is up to date, nothing needs to be done.
vii) Repeat steps i-vi for other databases that use Dbvisit Standby on the primary
server.
viii) Exit out of the dbvisit_setup program.
6) Start the Dbvisit Standby command console (Start Menu -> Programs -> Dbvisit).
7) Copy over the Dbvisit Standby installation to the standby server with the command:
dbvisit -c <database_name>
This command is run on the primary server only.

dbvisit <database_name>
