The following instructions provide a step-by-step guide for the installation of Aptify 6.4 to a system that already has the following versions of Aptify installed:
Your server must be running Aptify 6.3 prior to installing the Aptify 6.4 update. There is currently NO direct path to update from Aptify 6.1 and below versions to Aptify 6.4. Any system running these earlier versions will first be required to update to Aptify 6.3 prior to applying Aptify 6.4 update. See https://aptifykb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PK63/pages/371297181/Installing+the+Aptify+6.3 |
Review Troubleshooting Aptify 6.4 Installation Problems prior to installing Aptify 6.4. before proceeding with the installation. This guide provides information on issues that you may encounter running the Aptify 6.4 or Aptify Web 6.4 setup. If you know, for example, that you have a required field on the Person entity that does not have a default value, this will need to be resolved prior to installation to be successful for Aptify 6.4.
Installing Aptify 6.4 on the Aptify sample data set takes approximately two hours. Depending on the size of your database, the installation process may take up to six hours.
Aptify Web now calls the Views service on every page change in the entity list view. Customers with view that load slowly will now see this slowness on every page change. It is recommended that these views be optimized using SSMS (or another query optimizer tool) when upgrading to improve the performance of the view SQL.
Run the U.S. zip code update utility on your Aptify server. See Running the Update Utility for U.S. ZIP Codes.
Check in the API bin folder for the ConfigManifestForm.dll file. If the file is available, delete it. This file may exist on systems that have gone through a major version upgrade. This file is not required by Aptify SOA or Aptify Web – it should be removed from the AptifyServicesAPI bin folder if it exists since it will force your app pool to run in 32-bit mode (without this file, your AptifyServicesAPI app pool can run in 64-bit mode).
If using Crystal Reports, verify that the correct versions of Crystal Reports have been installed. See Verifying the Installed Version of Crystal Reports for more information. If the incorrect version is installed, see Installing the Installing the Provided Version of Crystal Reports for more information.
If using SSRS Reports, verify that the SSRS setup is installed and configured. See Installing Aptify SSRS Reports Setupfor more information. SSRS setup is by default installed with 6.1 upgrade installation. If a Client on 6.3 wants to upgrade to 6.4 and configure SSRS , then reset the attribute "InstallSSRS" to True in Setup.Exe.Config file, before starting the 6.4 installation. By default this attribute is set to False and will not reinstall SSRS since it is already installed and configured with 6.1 installation.
Set the attribute as following in Setup.Exe.Config if SSRS need to be installed new during 6.4 installations
<add key="InstallSSRS" value="True" />
With Aptify 6.4 release, the setup has released latest version of Desktop application, Aptify Web 6.4 application and e-Business 6.4
