How to upgrade IESX 10.x to GeoFrame with different $IESX_CONFIG files

Description:
Upgrade IESX 10.x to GeoFrame where projects exist in Geoframe but Geoframe is
using different $IESX_CONFIG files to IESX 10.x.

Solution:
Temporary solution :

This solution is temporary as the $IESX_CONFIG for IESX needs editing and has to
be set back to its original position to run IESX 10.x but is useful for
occasionally upgrading projects.

1.) For each project to be upgraded, copy projectname.da file to
    projectname.da.save and use iesx_util option #3 to remove projects from
    current IESX_CONFIG.

2.) In a GeoFrame Xterm > echo $IESX_CONFIG

3.) In an IESX Xterm > echo $IESX_CONFIG

4.) In an IESX Xterm > Edit /home/gqs/setup_ies

    setenv IESX_CONFIG      Edit this line to match the result from 2.)
    Don't forget the trailing '/' at the end of the pathname
    Eg, /home/gqs/iesx_config/

5.) Run IESX from the IESX Xterm

    Source /home/gqs/setup_ies > IESX

6.) Copy projectname.da.save, back to projectname.da and patch in desired
    project(s) to be upgraded.

7.) Prepare projects for upgrade and upgrade to GeoFrame.

8.) In an IESX Xterm > Edit /home/gqs/setup_ies 

    setenv IESX_CONFIG      Edit this line to match the result from 3.)
    Don't forget the trailing '/' at the end of the pathname
    Eg, /home/gqs/iesx_config/


Permanant solution :

This solution is permanant as a seperate installation of IESX 10.x will share
the same $IESX_CONFIG files with GeoFrame and will not need to be re-set each
time an upgrade is performed.

1.) Install a new copy of IESX 10.x on a separate application server from the
    original IESX 10.x. 

2.) The new IESX 10.x will then share the $IESX_CONFIG files with GeoFrame,
    separate from the original IESX 10.x config files. 

3.) Copy/move the original IESX 10.x projects and patch into the new
    $IESX_CONFIG as required.

4.) Upgrade projects to GeoFrame.
