Updating parallel servers¶
Prerequisites for updating parallel servers¶
- All versiondog processes must be terminated.
- The server archive data in the local directory or on the remote share must be backed up.
- The
Setup.exe
file must be executed with administrative rights on the server. - The user account under which Setup is executed must have full access rights to the following directories:
- versiondog program directory
- Local server archive or remote server archive (if remote server archive exists)
- Executing files must be permitted on the drive on which the server archive is located. Any existing security policies that prevent the files from being executed must be deactivated. If the execution of files is not permitted, an error message (SQL exception) will be displayed later when you login to the system. The login is not possible in this case.
-
No more synchronization processes may be pending. To check this, proceed as follows:
- Start Windows Explorer and change to the directory
{Drive}:\vdServerArchive\VD$A\Data\ToDos
. - The relevant XML files begin with 011.
Info
Alternatively, you can view this on the System dashboard in the AdminClient.
- Start Windows Explorer and change to the directory
Procedure¶
- Stop the VDog MasterService service on the first server (e.g. Windows 7:
Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services
). - Execute the
Setup.exe
file on the first server and follow the instructions of the installation wizard. - Start the first server.
- Repeat steps 1-3 directly afterwards on your second server.
