3.2 Upgrading Migrate

  1. Back up your data.

    See Backing Up Your Database Files Before Upgrade.

  2. Use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall your client application, the PlateSpin Migrate Client.

  3. On your server host, start the PlateSpinMigrateSetup-12.X.X.X.exe installation program.

  4. Click Install Server and follow the on-screen instructions. When you are prompted to specify a database instance, point the installation program to your existing database instance.

  5. Install the current version of the PlateSpin Migrate Client.

    See Installing the PlateSpin Migrate Client.

  6. (Optional) Manually update any remote hosts running PlateSpin Image Server software.

    See KB Article 7010799.

    NOTE:In some situations the installation program might fail to automatically re-import data that it exports during the upgrade process. If this happens, use the PlateSpin.ImportExport.bat utility to recover this data from the \ProgramData\PlateSpin directory on your server host. The folder is hidden by default.
