3rd-digit update

IMPORTANT

  • To carry out the installation or update procedures on a Windows system, regardless of user type, be it AD (Active Directory) or Local, you must follow the guidelines below:

    • The user's account must not change or expire as to any of its properties, including permission, password, user removal or deactivation.
    • The user's account must have local administrator privileges on the machine where the installation or update procedure is being applied.
    • We recommend using the name "sesuite" to facilitate identification.

  • Remember to do a backup before executing the update. We recommend backing up the application, the database, and the environment.

To perform a 3rd-digit update, follow the steps below:

  1. Search for "Windows PowerShell" in the search bar and run it as admin.

  2. Make sure SoftExpert Suite is stopped.

C:\sesuite\sesuite.ps1 stop

IMPORTANT: Do not skip this step; always download the scripts, as they may contain adjustments and enhancements.

If necessary, change the version in the link to the one you want to install (for example: the link below refers to version 2.2.0; change it to the version you want to use).

  1. Update docker-compose.yml.
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://developer.softexpert.com/devops/download/2-2-1/windows/docker-compose.yml' -OutFile 'C:\sesuite\docker-compose.yml'
  1. Update sesuite.ps1.
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://developer.softexpert.com/devops/download/2-2-1/windows/sesuite.ps1' -OutFile 'C:\sesuite\sesuite.ps1'
caution

Note: Remember to configure docker-compose.yml again, if your directory is shared.

  1. Run the script to perform the update:
C:\sesuite\sesuite.ps1 update
  1. Enter the desired version, when requested, in the console:
caution

Note: This is just an example; usually, versions are referenced as 2.1.9.20, for example, including the dots.

  1. Equalize the database:
C:\sesuite\sesuite.ps1 equalize

Windows PowerShell will automatically start downloading the container and the new version, as shown in the example below:

This is the final result after the equalization:

  1. After the equalization, use this command to start SoftExpert Suite.
C:\sesuite\sesuite.ps1 start
