4th-digit update

A 4th-digit update refers to a minor version change – for example, from 2.1.9.x to 2.1.9.y. The 4th digit of the number that will be altered refers to a few changes, which may be bug fixes or small updates to the product.

IMPORTANT

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

  • Create and use a user named "sesuite" to facilitate user identification.
  • Use the same user who performed the installation for any procedures.
  • 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, update or maintenance procedure is being applied.

• If the guidelines are not followed, services may experience unexpected errors.

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

To perform a 4th 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.

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

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

3. Update docker-compose.yml.

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

4. Update sesuite.ps1.
