This is a Technical (IT) Instructions topic
Pre-requisites
- Any existing AquilaServer must be installed and working correctly. This should not be uninstalled.
- It's preferable, but not essential, to ensure that all client users are on desktop version.
Overview
- The upgrade will take between 15 - 120 minutes depending on the size of your iBID database.
- Replacing the necessary files only takes 10-20 seconds, during which time the application will be unavailable.
- The upgrade re-calculates all the analysis data in the database in order to implement new and changed formulae.
Instructions
- Backup the IBID database to provide fall-back in the event of a failure.
- Download the "iBID Server v1.2 Upgrade (32-bit)" (filename aquilaserver_upgrade32.exe) from ibidb.org.
- On the machine where AquilaServer is currently installed, run the aquilaserver_upgrade32.exe
- Follow on-screen instructions. You will see:
- a console window appear immediately before copying files - this is the stopping of the AquilaServer service
- a console window appear immediately after copying files -- this is the restarting of the AquilaServer service (after which the application is available for use)
- a final console window will appear that makes any necessary metadata changes to the database & recalculates the iBID analysis data
- Grant user permissions as required, see Managing Users#User Permissions for info on permissions.
Rollback
In the event of a problem during the server upgrade, the roll-back process is as follows:
- Contact EHS who will be able to supply files for the previous version of AquilaServer.
- Replace the file on your system with those provided by EHS.
- Ensure the AquilaServer process is not running, either via the Services control panel app, or via the command prompt with "net stop AquilaServer".
- Restore the database from the backup taken immediately before the upgrade process.
- Start the AquilaServer process again, either via the Services control panel app, or via the command prompt with "net start AquilaServer".
