This is a Technical (IT) Instructions topic


Target Audience

These instructions are intended for trust level IT staff.

What's New

The new version does not change the basic operation of the software. All changes are internal. For information on changes please see AquilaCRS Whats New.

Pre-requisites

AquilaServer version 1.0 or 1.1 must be installed and working correctly. This should not be uninstalled.

Running the Upgrade

  • 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.
