Upgrading the Server/Client/FEP Station using Custom Mode
Scenario
You have acquired the software distribution for Desigo CC containing all the required folders including:
- Brand
- EM folder with the required extensions along with their EULA and other required files/folders, for example, PostInstallation folder containing post-installation steps
- GMS folder containing Languages and Prerequisites folders along with other required files
- (Optional) Languages folders for additional language packs
- (Optional) Upgrades folder with subfolders EP and SR containing required files including files for EMs and their languages, SR patch and its languages
- Gms.InstallerSetup.exe.
You want to upgrade the existing installation (V4.2/V5.0) for the Setup type – Server/Client/FEP using the custom installation mode. You also want to add new extensions (along with their post-installation steps, if any), new language packs or new installation language.
You can use the same steps to install and configure IIS, to configure the installed setup type Server/Client/FEP with local web server (IIS).
Additionally, the routine post upgrade activities such as license activation, project upgrade, HDB upgrade, website and web app upgrade and the Client launch can also be executed during the upgrade process as part of the post-installation steps execution. Furthermore, you can also install and configure some already installed or newly selected extensions during upgrade. Such post-installation steps typically include additional software installation, template synchronization, web application creation and so on.
This workflow describes upgrading the Desigo CC Server. However, you can use the same workflow to upgrade the Setup types - Client or FEP. For background information, see the reference section.
