1.This is ONLY if you presently are running a version of AyaNova 4 This is NOT to upgrade from AyaNova 3.x to AyaNova 4
2. Double-check your version before applying this by selecting menu Help -> About AyaNova
3. Download the latest version 4.2.0.0 installation file from http://www.ayanova.com/download.htm
4. Proceed depending on the installation configuration you have presently:
If have installed AyaNova 4 for stand-alone use on a single computer:
- make sure you have exited out of AyaNova 4 and any of the optional add-ons
- run the new 4.x version AyaNovaSetup.exe installation file selecting the “Default setup with sample database”
(URL removed as for older version no longer supported - see the latest version of AyaNova) - the installation will NOT overwrite your existing database if there is one already there
- by default it will have preselected everything you have already installed - as these need to be installed again with the latest files
-
when it asks if you want to overwrite the config.txt file , select [b]NO[/b]
If have configured AyaNova 4 for network configuration
-
make sure all users, including yourself, are out of AyaNova 4
-
if you were running the network Generator shut down the Generator service via your Services
-
if you were running the AyaNova Data Portal stop the AyaNova Data Portal via IIS
-
if WBI 4 was installed, uninstall the optional add-on WBI 4 via Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
-
if MBI 4 was installed, uninstall the optional add-on MBI 4 via Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
-
copy the downloaded AyaNovaSetup.exe to a shared folder and a copy of your config.txt
-
on the server first run the AyaNova setup and select network setup
(URL removed as for older version no longer supported - see the latest version of AyaNova)
- if you are shown an error that it can not overwrite certain files, that is because you did not shut down all AyaNova products before hand as required. Abort the installation, make sure everything is shut down (Generator and/or DataPortal), and run the installation again.
- when it asks if you want to overwrite the config.txt file , select NO By selecting NO[FONT=Verdana], this means you do not have to edit your config.txt file again if you had configured for network use. [/FONT]
- After the installation is completed, run this latest version of AyaNova 4 on this server, log in and confirm via Help -> About AyaNova that you are now running the latest version AyaNova 4.2.0.0
- Now you can upgrade the [FONT=Verdana]networked computers - [/FONT]
[ul]
[li]copy this latest 4.2AyaNovaSetup.exe installation file to the shared location on your network with a copy of your config.txt file from the server[/li][li]and have each networked user run the AyaNovaSetup.exe file again just as they did when you first configured for network use by having them select the Network administrator setup (step #6 of the networking steps for your database server type i.e. Firebird or SQL Express or SQL Server). [/li][/ul]
(URL removed as for older version no longer supported - see the latest version of AyaNova)
[/FONT][/COLOR]When it asks any of the networked users if they want to overwrite config.txt file, have them select NO.
The installation will preselect everything already installed on the users computer, so have them accept that as it needs to be updated to the latest version. - If had previously installed WBI, download the latest version WBI 4.x, and install the latest WBI 4.x
- refer to the (URL removed as for older version no longer supported - see the latest version of AyaNova) WBI installation steps in the WBI 4 Help file for details (i.e. after installation, copy over the config.txt file to the bin folder as needed before using)
- Refer to the (URL removed as for older version no longer supported - see the latest version of AyaNova) MBI installation steps in the latest AyaNova 4 Help file for installation, configuration and use of the new MBI (i.e. after installation, copy over the config.txt file to the bin folder as needed before using)
You have now upgraded your AyaNova program files and the AyaNova database to the latest version of AyaNova, and can now have everyone start using AyaNova again.
If you were presently running the network Generator service, restart it. Same with Data Portal.
