This is a Technical (IT) Instructions topic
Pre-requisites
- Any existing AquilaServer must be installed and working correctly. This should not be uninstalled.
Instructions
- All users should ideally be off the system.
- Backup the IBID database to provide fall-back in the event of a failure. (Installations for older versions of the server are readily available, should a major roll-back be required).
- Download the "Aquila Server vN.N Upgrade (32-bit)" from www.ibidb.org. (where N.N is the new version number)
- On the machine where AquilaServer is currently installed, run the file AquilaServer_2.2_upgrade_32-bit.exe
Introductory screens: please read & ensure your system meets the requirements.
Server is stopped, files are replaced, server is restarted:
Database upgrade starts (this may take 5-10 minutes):
Database upgrade completed - note the new version number (39.0) and the number of changes made (usually 1). The IBID Analysis calculations are now started and may take some considerable time, depending on the amount of data and the hardware specifications.
The users can be on the system whilst this is happening if need be.
When the calculations are completed, the upgrade is complete.
Rollback
In the event of a problem during the server upgrade, the roll-back process is as follows:
- Contact EHS who will be able to supply files for the previous version of AquilaServer.
- Replace the file on your system with those provided by EHS.
- Ensure the AquilaServer process is not running, either via the Services control panel app, or via the command prompt with "net stop AquilaServer".
- Restore the database from the backup taken immediately before the upgrade process.
- Start the AquilaServer process again, either via the Services control panel app, or via the command prompt with "net start AquilaServer".
Notes
- The upgrade will take between 15 - 120 minutes depending on the size of your iBID database.
- Replacing the necessary files takes < 1 min, during which time the application will be unavailable.
- The upgrade also re-calculates the analysis data in the database in order to implement new and changed formulae for the national reports, dashboard reports etc. During the analysis re-calculation, the system will be available to end-users, however performance may be affected slightly.
