8 Introduction Upgrading to Document Manager Introduction This guide describes the recommended procedure to upgrade a Document Manager system to version 2.7 from versions 2.5 and 2.6. WARNING: This guide details a generic procedure for upgrading to Document Manager 2.7, including the steps that should be followed to ensure a successful upgrade. It is not possible to consider every situation, including customisations. If you are not confident that you can successfully upgrade using these steps, please contact Document Logistix (see Contact Details on page i). 2.1 Overview The following is an overview of the procedures to complete the upgrade: 1. Back up your Document Manager databases. 2. Restore a copy of the Document Manager database to a Test Environment. 3. Uninstall the existing Document Manager client applications from the server in the Test Environment. 4. In the Test Environment, activate the new license on the Document Manager server. 5. Install the new Document Manager 2.7 client on the server in the Test Environment. 6. Run the Document Manager Administration Module to connect to the copy of the existing database and update Storage Locations. 7. Check that Document Manager behaves as expected in the Test Environment. 8. If Document Manager 2.7 works correctly in the Test Environment, repeat steps 1 to 7 for the Live Environment (ignore step 2 you will not need to restore a copy of your Document Manager database as it will already exist in the Live Environment). You will need to contact Document Logistix to reactivate your license for the Live Environment (see Contact Details on page i). 9. Uninstall the old Document Manager client on the client workstations in the Live Environment. 10. Install the new Document Manager 2.7 client from the DMClient share onto the Live client workstations. 2.2 Moving Document Manager to a New Server If you have installed Document Manager on a single server alongside the SQL Server databases and Storage Area and want to move Document Manager to a new physical server as well as upgrading, you will need to move the Document Manager databases and all of your documents to the new 3

9 Introduction Upgrading to Document Manager 2.7 server. If your database server and Storage Area are on separate machines to the Document Manager Server, you will need to ensure that they are accessible to the new Document Manager Server. Contact Document Logistix for help with moving your Document Manager Server (see Contact Details on page i). 2.3 Additional Document Logistix Modules If you have additional modules installed in your Document Manager system, you will need to uninstall them before upgrading. The procedures for these can be complex; therefore, if you have any modules installed, please contact Document Logistix for further assistance (see Contact Details on page i).

10 Backing Up your Document Manager Databases Upgrading to Document Manager Backing Up your Document Manager Databases Before starting the upgrade procedure, you need to ensure that the SQL Server databases that hold your Document Manager data are backed up. Your Document Manager databases need to be backed up in case the upgrade process is unsuccessful or there are unexpected results after performing the upgrade. In addition, the Document Manager database should be backed up so that it can be restored to a Test Environment. Typically, there are two databases in the Document Manager system: Document Manager Database: for example, DocumentManager Configuration Database: for example, DMcfg, IDMcfg or TokOpenCfg These databases may have different names because it is possible to choose your own names when installing Document Manager Enterprise Edition. In some setups, both the configuration data and Document Manager data may be held in the same database, although this is not recommended. If this is the case, contact Document Logistix for assistance with the upgrade procedure. To back up your SQL Server database, you need to log in to SQL Server Management Studio and follow the instructions there to back up databases. The steps detailing how to back up databases from SQL Server Management Studio are beyond the scope of this guide. For more information, try one of the following: Go to the MSDN library home page and search for backing up a SQL database or similar phrase: Visit this page for backing up databases in SQL Server 2005: Click the drop-down arrow next to Other Versions at the top of the page to choose a different SQL Server version. If there is a problem after the upgrade procedure, your backed-up database will need to be restored. You can then roll back to the previous system state. 5

11 Employing a Test Environment Upgrading to Document Manager Employing a Test Environment To ensure that you are confident in performing the upgrade procedure and to check that the upgraded software works with your existing data, you should utilise a Test Environment. Test environments come in a number of different configurations, such as virtual machines or full server systems and as a result, the instructions for building a test environment are beyond the scope of this document. However, it is strongly recommended that you test the upgrade procedure before performing it in a Live Environment. In order to test the upgrade procedure, you will need back up and then restore a copy of your Document Manager Database to your Test Environment using SQL Server Management Studio. You should also copy a small subset of your documents to the Test Environment to check that you can open documents in Document Manager. The Test Environment should be physically separate from your Live Environment; it must have no network connection to the Live Environment. 4.1 Test Environment Minimum Requirements The Test Environment should have the same specifications as your Live Environment with regards to the machine performance and the operating system used. These should be as follows: Operating systems one of the following: Windows Server 2003, dual-core CPU, 2 GB RAM (4 GB RAM is recommended) Windows Server 2008, dual-core CPU, 2 GB RAM (4 GB RAM is recommended) Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3), with 512 MB RAM Windows Vista Business and Ultimate editions, 1 GB RAM Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions, 1 GB RAM Storage: You should also have sufficient space to hold your Document Manager Database and some test documents. The Test Environment can have the Document Manager Server and Storage Area on the same machine. However, if the environment is to be networked, it will require: 10-megabits-per-second (Mbps) network interface (minimum) For more information on minimum requirements, refer to the Document Manager Installation Guide. 6

12 Employing a Test Environment Upgrading to Document Manager Test Environment Prerequisites IMPORTANT: Before performing the Document Manager installation in your Test Environment, you will need to contact Document Logistix for a test license (see Contact Details on page i). The license will need to be reactivated when you are ready to upgrade in your Live Environment. Your existing license will not work for Document Manager 2.7. The prerequisites for the Document Manager Test Environment are: Microsoft.NET Framework version 3.5 SP1 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008: This needs to be the same version as used in your Live Environment. You will need to have the username and password for the SQL Server Login to hand when connecting to your database (see Connecting to a Copy of your Existing Document Manager Database on page 9). SQL Server User: If you use SQL Server authentication in your Live Environment, you must create a SQL Server user with dbcreator Server Role and the same username and password. Local and remote connections : For SQL Server 2005, these must be enabled in the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool. TCP/IP Protocol: For SQL Server 2008, this must be enabled in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. For more information on these prerequisites, refer to the Document Manager Installation Guide. 4.3 Testing the Upgrade This section describes the steps you should perform to check that the Document Manager 2.7 software works with your existing database Document Manager Server in the Test Environment The Test Environment should have the same version of Document Manager Server installed as that used in your Live Environment. If not already installed in the Test Environment, install Document Manager Server from your existing installation CD. You should use the same details for the Storage Locations and database connection as those in the Live Environment. IMPORTANT: If installing Document Manager Enterprise Edition, do not choose to install the sample database during the installation steps. If you do, it may overwrite the copy of your Live Database. If installing Document Manager Business Edition, you must ensure that you install the Document Manager Server Software prior to restoring your existing database to Test. Refer to the Document Manager Installation Guide for more on installing the Document Manager Server. 7

13 Employing a Test Environment Upgrading to Document Manager Restoring the Document Manager Database to a Test Environment After backing up your Document Manager database in SQL Server Management Studio, copy the backup to a suitable location in your Test Environment and restore the copy using SQL Server Management Studio in Test. IMPORTANT: Only the Document Manager Database needs to be copied to the Test Environment. The Configuration Database will be created when the Document Manager 2.7 Administration Module is run. If both the Document Manager Database and Configuration Database are held in the same table for Document Manager Enterprise Edition, contact Document Logistix for assistance. Do NOT connect to the database from the Test Environment you can potentially suffer live data loss Creating the Test Storage Locations and Adding Documents If you have not already done so in your Test Environment, create duplicates of Storage Locations that are used in your Live Environment and copy a small number of documents from your Live Environment to these locations. IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that your Test Storage Locations have the same details as those used in your Live Environment. If they do not, the copy of your Live Database may not work as expected in Test. Make a note of the paths and folder names; you will need them to specify your Storage Locations in the Document Manager Administration Module (see Changing Storage Locations on page 12). NOTE: Documents that have not had their physical files copied to the test Storage Locations will still be displayed in the Document Manager user interface (with their index information) but cannot be opened or viewed. If you try to open them, an error message will be displayed Uninstalling the Document Manager Client Applications Before installing the 2.7 Client applications, you need to uninstall the existing client applications on your Test Server. See 5 Uninstalling the Document Manager Client Applications from the Server on page 15 for how to do this. 8

These need to be in the subset of documents you copied to the Test Storage Locations. Ensure the relevant application for the application document is installed in the Test Environment; for example, use Adobe Reader for a PDF document. Scan some documents into the system using the Scan application (accessed using the Scan button on the Administer tab) and check that they have been saved to Document Manager correctly. Import a few test documents using the Import feature in Document Manager. 13

19 Employing a Test Environment Upgrading to Document Manager Troubleshooting If Document Manager 2.7 does not appear to work correctly with your existing database, check below to see if you can resolve the issue: Error connecting to Document Manager Configuration database (using Tokopen.ini settings) If you see the above message, ensure that the correct TokOpen.ini file is located in the Document Manager folder within the Document Logistix installation directory. If the Document Manager installation file was run from a location other than the DMClient share on the Document Manager Server, the TokOpen.ini file will not contain the correct connection settings. If you see the above error, try copying the TokOpen.ini file from the DMClient share on the Document Manager server and pasting into the Document Manager installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\Document Logistix\Document Manager ). If this is successful on the Document Manager server, you can distribute the TokOpen.ini file from the DMClient share to any affected Document Manager client workstations. If after copying and pasting the correct TokOpen.ini file, you still cannot connect to Document Manager, contact Document Logistix for further assistance (see Contact Details on page i). 14
