Updated: 14-03-2024 10:22

Updating Version 5 installations

For update instructions for Version 4 installations and particularly if updating Version 4 to Version 5, see the link on the left.

Common instructions for all updates

Copy the new files onto the Target Server (i.e. the one you are going to update)

HybridMail builds are kept in the folder:

\\WIN2KSVR\FileStore1\FunAsset\Master Software\TAone\builds

N.B. All of these builds are UPGRADE builds. They won’t work for fresh installs.

Select the version and skin you want and copy the entire folder to the Downloads folder on the target server

E.g. you might copy the folder \\WIN2KSVR\FileStore1\FunAsset\Master Software\TAone\builds\4.2.3.5\xerox to c:\users\<username>\downloads\

Stop everything that’s currently going on

  1. Stop all instances of the DropClient Service that are ‘feeding’ the target server (N.B. these may be running on machines other than the target server).
  2. Stop the Printroom Service on any machines that are relaying to the target server. (This will typically only apply if you are updating a master server).
  3. Stop the Printroom Service on the target server
  4. Launch the IIS Manager and stop the HybridMail Website on the target server

Update the Database

  1. Start SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the Hybridmail database
  2. Run the new CreateAllAndPopulate.sql script
  3. Check to see if the database has a Table called Towns. If not, run the new CreateAllTowns.sql script

Update the Website, Webservice and Printroom

  1. Copy the entire new website folder over the top of the existing website folder
  2. Copy the entire new printroom folder over the top of the existing printroom folder
  3. Run the “FixupClientIP.cmd” script in the website\downloads folder.
