Upgrading TSENTRY

Expand
titleInstructions

In general, upgrading TSENTRY from one version to another requires the following steps:

  • Stop any running TSENTRY processes

  • Backup existing TSENTRY files

  • Install new version of TSENTRY

    • For versions 2.29 and below, copy new \tpriNtRt\ directory over existing directory

    • For versions 3.00 and above, run the install wizard

  • Rebuild all application processes, screens, and the data dictionary

 

In some cases, however, additional changes are required; these are listed below by version.  In some cases some steps must be taken before performing the above instructions, so please read below before continuing.  If upgrading across more than one version (e.g. v1.4 to 2.0), steps for intermediate versions must also be performed.
