Introduction

The upgrade from Vitalware Version 2.0 to Vitalware 2.1.01 involves a number of steps. Please follow the instructions below carefully. You cannot skip any steps under any circumstances.
Before proceeding with the update please ensure that a complete backup of the KE Vitalware server exists and is restorable.

There are four main components that require upgrading:

• Texpress (the database engine)
• TexAPI (web services)
• Vitalware Server (the application)
• Vitalware Client (the client)

The notes below detail how to upgrade all systems. Check the Releases table for Client specific notes.  Upgrading comprises the following steps:

• Stopping Vitalware services
• Installing Texpress
• Upgrading TexAPI
• Upgrading Vitalware Server
• Starting Vitalware services
• Upgrading Vitalware Client

In the notes below client refers to the name of the client directory for the current installation. The term ~vw is used to refer to the user vw's home directory. This is normally /home/vw.
