Installation of updates for d.ecs task
If you already have an older version of the application installed, you can use d.velop software manager to update it. Since d.ecs task was not installed with d.velop software manager until version 1.4.0, you first have to add d.ecs task as a new product in d.velop software manager when updating from version 1.4.0 (or earlier). The data of your previous installation is tranferred automatically.
After installing the updates, you may have to adjust the database configuration.
This is how it works
Install or update d.ecs task with d.velop software manager.
Open the feature Configuration on the start page of the application.
Select Tasks and processes > Tasks > Database.
Select Upload driver optionally to update the JDBC driver. If this button is not available, the database driver was transferred automatically. Continue with the next step.
Select Update structure optionally, to update the database structure. If this button is not available, updating the database structure is not needed. In this case, updating is completed.
Restart d.ecs task if you had to update the database structure.
When updating from an older version, please also note the following important notes.
Updating a cluster installation
If you use multiple instances of the application, you need to ensure that all instances are updated with the same configuration. Install updates for your cluster installation by switching off all instances except for one, and first only update this instance. Then, execute the setup wizard on all other instances.
Update to version 1.2.0
After you have updated the application, you have to perform the following configuration.
Updating the system user
As of version 1.2, d.ecs task uses an own secure authentication key for the communication with other apps. A system user is therefore no longer needed. If your system user has been configured with a user name and a password, no action is required. If you update d.ecs task from version 1.1 and have configured an API key for the system user, you have to remove the API key now.
This is how it works
Open the feature Configuration on the start page of the application after having finished the setup wizard.
Select the entry System user in the Tasks section.
Click on Remove API key.
Update to version 1.3.0
Please note the following steps when updating to version 1.3.0:
Additional database permissions
In version 1.3, the administrative database user requires additional permissions. Before updating the database structure, make sure that this user has permission to create views.
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver
As of version 1.3, you can no longer provide your own JDBC driver for Microsoft SQL Server. Version 8.2 of the driver is automatically installed by the setup.
