Upgrading from Evolve Web Platform 2018 or older

Upgrading from Evolve Web Platform 2018 or older

If you are upgrading to the latest Evolve 2020 from any previous version 2018 or older and you have CWSuite installed on the same machine.

When uninstalling any version of Evolve from 4.0 upwards, it is also necessary to uninstall "Evolve Services" / "CWS Services" - the service that operates the Global Search, and Web Modeler.

The Evolve Web Platform uninstaller does NOT remove Evolve Services (or CWS Services) when uninstalling.

The following steps ensure compatibility between Evolve Web Platform and Evolve Suite (CW Suite) when run on the same machine.

          1. First BACKUP your SQL Database, to ensure any updates can be reverted should there be a problem.

          2. Now uninstall CWS Services for 2018 and older
              To do this you my need to first stop the CWS Services from running

          3. Then uninstall your previous version of Evolve 2018 or Evolve 2016
              A restart may be required.

          4. Now uninstall your previous version of CWSuite 2018 or CWSuite 2016
              A restart may be required.

          5. Go to your previous Evolve installation folder (defaults to C:\Casewise\Evolve) and rename it to "Evolve_OLD")
              This folder is not removed by the installer, as it contains files that were not part of the installation.
              Keeping this folder can be useful, if you have customizations that you need to copy across.
              Once you are sure you have all you need from this directory, it can be removed.

          6. Install the latest Evolve Suite release (aka CWSuite)  * If only the Web Platform is required, this step can be skipped. *
               (The Suite should be installed first, if both Desktop and Web components are to co-exist on a single machine)

          7. Install Evolve Web Platform 2020
              And copy any custom files back to their respective folders (nb: only copy files customized by your organization)

          8. ** ENSURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR DATABASE **
              Follow the instructions to upgrade your database.

          9. Continuing on from the database upgrade instructions, also run the following command
              ValidateRepository.exe -connection:YourConnectionName -username:YourUserName password:YourPassword -applyfixes
              When prompted to apply fixes, review the changes (there may be other faults that need fixing, check you are happy with them) then press 'a' for all.

          10. Your upgrade is complete - continue to configure Evolve Web Platform and re-publish the sites.
