Upgrading a Complete (Single Server) MessageStats Installation

The simplest type of upgrade is for a complete installation where all the MessageStats components are installed on a single computer.

Prerequisite

Before you start the upgrade process, ensure that you are logged onto the MessageStats server with the MessageStats service account.

Download the latest version of MessageStats from the Support web site.

Extract the contents of the compressed file to a directory on your existing MessageStats server.
3
In the extracted MessageStats directory, double-click the setup.exe file.
Verify the Upgrade Options

Run the setup.exe installer.
A dialog appears indicating that an earlier version of MessageStats exists in this computer.
5
Click Continue.

Verify the server locations for the installed components:
•
the MessageStats database SQL server

If a database upgrade and migration is not successful, MessageStats automatically reverts to the previous version of the database. The MessageStats database and the MessageStats product must be the same version to work properly.
Migrate Existing Tasks
Once the reports and MessageStats server components are installed, you are prompted to perform task migration.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not run task migration if database installation was not successful.
If you cancel task migration during the installation process, you can run it separately at a later time. For information about running task migration manually, see About task migration .
