AquilaServer New Install and Migration

Migrating

To migrate AquilaServer, perform a new install of AquilaServer on the new server and enter your existing database connection settings.

Your current database connection settings can be found on your old server in the file `c:\program files (x86)\Evolution Healthcare Systems Limited\AquilaServer\AquilaServer.ini`

This file will contain a line similar to below:

   ConnectionString=AnyDAC?AuxDriver=MSSQL;Server=my_database_server\my_instance_name;Database=ibid_data;UserId=ibid_login;password=xyz123

The Server Name, Database Name and the User id and password are highlighted and should be entered during the new installation.

i. You may not have a UserId or Password parameter - in which case leave these fields blank during installation ii. You're server name may not have an instance name

AquilaServer Installation

• Download the AquilaServer installation from www.EvolutionHealthcareSystems.co.uk/downloads - (login is required -- please Contact Us for a login)

• Run the AquilaServer Installation on your server

• The installation will ask for the name of the SQL Server and Database, and for the SQL Server Login information.

If you are migrating from an old installation, enter the settings from your old server (see above).

Client Update

Distribute the new server URL to your users, where it can be updated on the login screen.

The new server URL will be:

   http:\\new-server-name:8099/bin

(The default port number is 8099; if you have changed this then make the changes in the above URL).

When the new installation is confirmed and working you can uninstall aquilaserver from the old server & decommission as needed.
