[sims] SIMS Autumn (Winter) 2013

No, Discover is a separate installer update after doing the main sims install.

Thank you,

 

So should a Discover Update (For SOLUS 3.5 or below) be a downloadable option? Should I check with Capita?

Yes, there is a separate discover autumn 2013 update available either from your la or supportnet

Right, full steam ahead for tomorrow:

 

Just a Sanity check (ref attached Screen Shot)

 

1) I am on Summer V2 at the moment, I just need to deploy Autumn 2 and it should do the rest (Discover for example)

2) I don't need to deploy SOLUS 3.6 yet (I am on SOLUS 3.5 works ok and I'm using SQL 2008 R2)

3) InTouch I update manually afterwards

 

Capita apparently said some sites had excessive memory usage after Autumn 2 update that stops inTouch working...we shall see.

 

Incidiently do you guys do a backup of SIMS, Discover DB via SQL management Studio before an update? I used to also do snapshots on hyper-V but wondering whether that is OTT...

 

I think you need solus 3.6 for the discover update

 

And yes I always backup with sqlbackupandftp before any upgrades. Infact I do that each night anyway just in case.

Re-discover backup, use the specific Discover backup tool. It backs up all custom data graphs and groups users have created in Discover. If you ever need to restore Discover, install a new discover system, do a data transfer from SIMS .net to Discover, then restore the backup with the discover backup utility.
