Upgrading Server Applications

Before Upgrading

XMediusFAX can be upgraded from an earlier version by simply running the installer of the newer version.

However, we highly recommended that you read and follow the step-by-step upgrade procedure described

in this section. Before proceeding with the upgrade, please take note of the following:

• The upgrade will have to be performed on all servers that are part of the XMediusFAX system. This includes

all the servers that run the core (replicated) software, all the “worker-only” servers (computers running

only Drivers, Rasterizers and Gateways) and all the computers running the MMC Administration snap-in.

Other client tools, such as SendFAX, can be upgraded at a later time as they are compatible with the new

Server version.

• The target system for the upgrade must be fully functional. Do not upgrade a system with components

having problems to start and become active.

• The upgrade modifies the files that hold the state of the system. This includes multiple files located under

<xmediusFAX>\Data and the MySQL databases.

• The upgrade process will backup any state-related file it modifies, with the exception of the databases

(CompanyConfig and XmediusArchive).

• Installing the new version will overwrite some configuration files present in <xmediusFAX>\Config (this

is not related to the System or Site Configurations made through the administrator snap-in). If you applied

custom modifications to these files, you may want to review them after the installation.

• The upgrade installs, if needed, new third party software, disabling the old versions but leaving them

installed on the computer.

• The web-related package (xmedius.war) will be replaced during the upgrade. If you made custom

modifications to the web interface, you will have to re-apply them after the upgrade.

• You should review the release notes of the software as they list a few changes from earlier versions that

are of interest for administrators.

• If you have built custom tools (external notification software, JavaApi scripts, reports that query the archive

database etc.), it is highly recommended that you check to make sure those tools will integrate properly

with the new version of XMediusFAX. Install the software on a test system before upgrading your production

system.

• Also, verify if the version you are going to install for the upgrade needs a new license. If this is the case,

make sure to have the new license file available before proceeding: you will need it during the upgrade.

Note: If you are using a Brooktrout fax board, you must upgrade the Boston pnp Driver to version 6.0

minimum (available in the 3rd\dialogic_brooktrout folder from the XMediusFAX distribution media)

before upgrading XMediusFAX. This requires first to stop the Driver service.

Upgrading Server Applications

To upgrade your server in safe conditions, see first Before Upgrading on page 81.

The following steps are made to facilitate the upgrade process and to ensure that your production server(s)

are back online as fast as possible. The upgrade process should follow these guidelines:

1. Stop all outbound and inbound faxing traffic and wait until the outgoing queue is clear. You can also use

Perfmon to monitor the FaxManager's internal queues and make sure everything has been delivered.
