We have put a lot of effort into improving the Dovetail Seeker 2.0 installation experience. Here are some important considerations for our customers already using Dovetail Seeker 1.x.
If you already have Dovetail Seeker 1.x installed there is no need to uninstall 1.x. Simply follow the installation guidance and Dovetail Seeker will be upgraded to 2.0.
During the installation your original document specification XML file (documentSpecification.xml) and application configuration will be backed up.
Also during the upgrade you will be prompted for the particulars of your database and web site settings which should hopefully do a good job of keeping you out of the configuration file. You may still need to to migrate some of your configuration settings over to the new configuration file.
In Dovetail Seeker2.0 the application.config configuration file has been renamed to seeker.config. We have consolidated all application settings into one file. Take care when migrating previous configuration settings to this new file. Be aware that each configuration setting's name has changed to help better organize them. For example seeker.fileSystemIndexDirectory has become seekerCommon.fileSystemIndexDirectory. Settings are organized into the following areas:
When you are migrating your old Document Specifications be aware that the new indexAttachments element is required to enable attachment file indexing for Dovetail Document Specifications.
