[sims] Install/apply a patch

[Fleetwood]

Hi all,

 

I need to install the "VLE IMS web service patch #8318" to SIMS as we're in the process of implementing Fronter and they wanted SIMS integration, however I've never had to touch the more admin/maintenance parts of SIMS.

 

If anybody could point me in the right direction as to how I apply this patch I'd greatly appreciate it, at a bit of a loss here - all I've been given is 3 files and I've got no clue with what to do with 'em!

In short.

 

On the server.

 

Start > All Programs > SIMS > dbupgrade

 

Browse to the location where the patch is found, enter your server details, enter username and password.

 

It will then backup your SIMS and install the patch.

 

I would 100% recommend you have everybody out of SIMS before you even attempt it.

Or if it's been released to you via SOLUS2, just run "Upgrade and Run SOLUS" from Start | All Programs | SIMS Applications. Put in the SIMS login details and away you go. Obviously ensure everyone is out of SIMS though just in case!!!
