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.

   Upgrade Instructions:

• Before installing the new version of TSENTRY, completely remove any previous Tsecurity installation as follows:

  • First, uninstall the old TsecurityService application by running the uninstall script:
    <InstallDir>\Procs\UninstallTsecurityService.cmd <InstallDir>\bin
    where <InstallDir> is replaced with the base installation directory of the old version of Tsecurity, such as D:\tpriNtRt\Tsecurity
    

  • If the latest version of TSENTRY has already been installed before removing the previous version of Tsecurity, the above uninstall script may not work; in this case, the old TsecurityService service can be removed by manually executing the following two commands from the command prompt:
    cd /d %Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322
installUtil.exe  /u  <InstallDir>\bin\TsecurityService.exe
    where <InstallDir> is replaced with the base installation directory of the old version of Tsecurity, such as D:\tpriNtRt\Tsecurity
    

  • If the old Tsecurity package was uninstalled before the uninstall script was executed, the TsecurityService entry in the service control manager can only be removed by deleting the following entries from the registry:

    • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Eventlog\Application\TSecurityService

    • HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TSecurityService

  • Copy the existing ASCF from the old Tsecurity installation directory tree (renamed above) into the new installation directory tree (in both cases the ASCF file should be located in the \ASCF\ subdirectory off of the installation directory)

  • Modify the copied ASCF to conform to the new ASCF file format; use ExampleASCF.xml as a template for the proper file format

  • Verify proper ASCF format by using the ASCFEditor to view the file and check all configuration settings (must log in to the ASCFEditor as the Tsecurity administrator or as the application owner for the ASCF in question)
