Use the files provided with the most recent version of the product. For example, suppose you have version 1.1 of a product, and versions 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 have all been released. You now wish to upgrade from version 1.1 directly to version 1.4. Suppose the versions require the following steps:
- Version 1.2 requires you to register a new fcfl.dll and import a new data file fccl_color_data.dat.
- Version 1.3 requires you to update the schema to add the fc_messages table and copy the new *.asp files under the pages directory.
- Version 1.4 requires you to register a new fccq.dll and copy the new *.asp files under pages/workflow directory.
To perform the total upgrade in this situation, you would perform the following steps:
- Add the new fc_messages table (schema changes always come first).
- Import the fccl_color_data.dat file (data imports come next).
- Put the new *.asp files in the pages and pages/workflow directories.
- Restart the Dovetail Agent web application using Internet Services Manager - unload the Dovetail Agent application or restart IIS.
Put the new fcfl.dll and fccq.dll files in their appropriate directories, and register them (regsvr32 fcfl.dll; regsvr32 fccq.dll).
If you have questions about this process, please contact Dovetail Software.
