Overview

This article details the instructions for updating CMS to version 8, 9 and 10.

Preparing for the Installation

Before you begin installing or updating your Server please review the list below.

Server System Requirements

To verify that your system meets CMS system requirements please review: http://wiki.newhavensoftware.com/index.php/CMS_System_Requirements#Servers

Updating reports

If you are updating from CMS version 10.0.4 or older and you use custom CMS forms or crystal reports. We will need to update those reports. Please contact support@newhavensoftware.com directly so we can review this with you.

Backing up CMS

Below is information about backing up your CMS information before updating.

Creating backups if doing a CMS 8 or later update

Before updating CMS to a new version from v8 or 9, you will want to create a Database backup. To do this please review the instructions in the link below. http://wiki.newhavensoftware.com/index.php/Creating_a_Database_Backup

Download the CMS Installer

Please visit http://updates.newhavensoftware.com/ For information on using the update page and downloading the installer please review the video : http://youtu.be/dBbd94k7b0A

Time to Update the Server

Please note: If you are updating CMS 7 to 8, that due to the upgrade from Sybase ASA 8.0.2 to Sybase SQL Anywhere 12.0.1, the server update can take longer then normal. While time to do this is extremely variable, we recommend planning for 2 hours of downtime. Newer versions of CMS can typically be updated in roughly 1 hour (possibly longer depending on the size of the database).

Workstation Updates

Note: If you are updating CMS 9 to CMS 10, you will be required to run a Workstation update on all of your Windows 10 CMS Workstations.

For information on this process please click the link below. http://wiki.newhavensoftware.com/index.php/Workstation_Install
