[sims] SIMS update can I jump updates?

[nicholab]

If I am on the Summer release can I jump straight to the spring release or on I need to go install the autumn first? Also do I want the Full release or the database only update? Edited April 9, 2018 by nicholab

In terms of skipping an update, what is the purpose? Do you use it only for training data?

 

Every school has to have every upgrade as the files for newest School Census' etc are included in each new upgrade.

If you install the latest it will include all the previous releases

The reason I want to skip updates is I am already behind.

 

So the update need are:

Solus3 3.12.41

Patch 23454 exams

Patch 23516 Schoolview

Patch 23723

SIMS Spring 2018

FMS Spring 2018

SIMS Discovery 2018 Spring

 

Do I want DB or Full also can I apply the patches after the main update? Or how can I schedule this to all work in SOLUS?

Be worth having a word with your SIMS Support Team - patches can be an arse as they are version specific, so no idea about those.

 

General idea is:

- SOLUS3 updates - so you get all the new deployment lovely-ness

- SIMS

- SIMS Discover

- FMS

 

DB will just update the database then your application (ie the SIMS client) will then complain its out of date, so full.

 

Again, have a word with your SIMS Support Team \ Capita - its what you pay them for
