Figure 10 EDM database options

If a compatible EDM database has already been read in, this is taken over and converted to the current

version. Otherwise you are asked whether you want to replace the database or select a different server.

Confirm your selection with "Next".

4.3.5 Finishing the installation

Preparation for the installation is now complete, and the files for SIPLACE EDM can be copied now and

configuration can be carried out. The screen shows a summary of the activities which need to be carried

out (see Figure 11) for installation of a Master Server.

4.4 Upgrading from a previous version

4.4.1 Conditions / downward compatibility

Installing different versions of EDM on Master and Client should be avoided. If different versions of

SIPLACE Pro are used on the EDM Master and the EDM lines, some restrictions apply because the format

of the data transferred depends on the SIPLACE Pro version used. During an upgrade, the Master Server,

all Line Servers and all Clearing Pools must therefore be converted to EDM 1.9 (and thus to SIPLACE Pro

9.2).

EDM 1.9 can use all templates which were created for EDM 1.1 or later, as well as custom workflows from

EDM 1.1 or later.

Existing filter settings are retained and updated, but it is recommended that you manually inspect the

converted file (it may be that your own custom changes have been superseded by improvements to the

default configuration).

4.4.2 Simultaneous upgrade over all lines

Where possible, production on all the lines to be upgraded should be suspended for the duration of the

upgrade. As soon as all the components have been converted, production can be restarted. The upgrade

operation is carried out as follows:

1. Interrupt production on all the lines to be upgraded.

2. Transfer all notifications from the Line Servers to the Master Server.

3. Accept/reject all notifications in the Clearing Pool.

4. Close all EDM applications.

5. Install SIPLACE Pro and than EDM Line Server on all lines.

6. Install SIPLACE Pro and then the EDM Master Server on the Master Server.

CAUTION:

To avoid all notifications still in the Clearing Pool from being lost, the EDM database

must not be deleted.

7. Resume production.

Simultaneous upgrade across all the lines is to be preferred to a gradual upgrade of individual lines

(insofar as this is possible).

4.4.3 Gradual upgrade of individual lines / compatibility mode

If it is not possible to perform a simultaneous upgrade across all the lines, EDM provides a compatibility

mode which permits restricted operation of an EDM 1.7 Line Server in conjunction with a Master Server

from an earlier version (as of EDM 1.4) for the duration of the upgrade. This compatibility mode must not

be used for long-term mixed operation of an EDM 1.7 Line Server with a Master Server from an earlier

version of EDM.
