4.2.6 EDM Control Tool

If you connect to the Line Server and edit the SIPLACE Pro data from any client, the change dialog

box only appears on the remote client if you have also installed the EDM Control Tool on this

remote client.

► Select EDM Control Tool from the Custom Setup dialog.

The program is installed automatically.

4.2.7 Finishing the installation

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

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

be carried out for installing a Master Server.

Figure 4-8: Finishing the installation

Depending on the chosen options, some configuration dialogs may be shown during the last steps

of the setup program.

4.3 Upgrading from a previous version

4.3.1 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 2.0

(and thus to SIPLACE Pro 10.0).

EDM 2.0 can use all templates that were created for EDM 1.1 or later, as well as custom workflows

from EDM 1.1 or later.

Existing filter settings on the EDM Master 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superseded by improvements to the default configuration).

4.3.2 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.

Perform the upgrade operation 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 then the EDM Master Server (with Configuration Server) on the

Master Server.

6. Install SIPLACE Pro and then EDM Line Server on all lines. After installing an EDM Line

Server, the production on that EDM Line can be resumed immediately.

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 step-by-step upgrade of individual

lines (insofar as this is possible).

4.3.3 Step-by-step upgrade of individual lines

Since it is not always possible to perform a simultaneous upgrade across all the lines, EDM

provides a step-by-step upgrade procedure that permits restricted operation of an EDM 2.0 Line

Server in conjunction with a Master Server from an earlier version for the duration of the upgrade.

CAUTION

This compatibility mode should not be used for long-term mixed operation of an EDM 2.0

Line Server with a Master Server from an earlier version of EDM.

During the step-by-step upgrade, it is still possible for an EDM Line Server to pull/push data from

the Master Server. However, it is not possible to transfer modified objects into the Master Server.

All the notifications that arise during that period are saved in the Clearing Pool and can be

transferred to the EDM Master Server when the step-by-step upgrade has been terminated by

upgrading the Master Server.

It is recommended to carry out gradual upgrading of individual lines as follows:

1. Prepare another computer to hold a standalone EDM Configuration Server and run the

EDM Configuration Server setup type EDM Configuration Server. If another computer or

virtual machine is not available, the Configuration Server may be installed along with the

first upgraded EDM Line in step 5.

2. Interrupt production on one of the lines to be upgraded.

3. Transfer all notifications from the Line Server of this line to the Master Server.

4. Upgrade SIPLACE Pro to the new version on the Line Server of this line.

5. Install the EDM Line on the Line Server of this line and make it using the standalone

configuration server. If you have chosen not to use a standalone server for upgrading the

first Line server, proceed as follows instead:

► Select the "EDM Line" and "Configuration Server" options within the "Custom

Setup" setup, in order to provide a Configuration Server.

6. Resume production on this line.

7. Repeat steps 1-5 for the other lines to be upgraded.

As soon as each EDM Line Server has been upgraded, you should proceed to update the EDM

Master:

CAUTION

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

must not be deleted.

8. Shut down the EDM service and stop all EDM applications on the Master Server.

9. Upgrade SIPLACE Pro on the Master Server.

10. Upgrade SIPLACE EDM on the EDM Master Server using the EDM Master or EDM

Master with Clearing Pool setup type.
