Upgrade guide
The brand new installer simplifies the deployment of Dime.Scheduler massively. In order to successfully complete the process, the running instance must be Dime.Scheduler 2017.0.0 or higher.
In case of an earlier (SilverLight) version, please consult the following upgrade notes.
As far as the update is concerned, you only need to download the package, run the cumulative manual update steps and run the installer.
Tip: Avoid special characters like +-/\[]\*() etc. in the base directory names since those can cause issues in some steps of the upgrade.
Get package
Obviously we need to start with downloading the package. For that, consult the following article.
Cumulative updates
The following cumulative updates are mandatory:
| Coming from version | CU patch |
|---|---|
| < 2020.1.0 | Remove redundant MSMQ queues |
| < 2021.1.0 | Remove redundant services and programs |
If you are updating an instance that is older than 2020.1.0, you can run this entire PowerShell script, which is a full patch that gathers all required cumulative updates:
Updating the application
Once the upgrade steps have been executed, you can run the installer. For your convenience, you can now load a preconfigured settings file to the installer.
Microsoft Dynamics NAV
Import the fob-file "AllObjects" from the installation package for the valid Microsoft Dynamics NAV version.
You can find this file in the folder .\Back Office Systems\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\[NAV Version]\.
Note: In case you modified standard Dime.Scheduler objects in your database, don’t forget to merge your changes into the Dime.Scheduler standard connector. We always advice to use the "Empty Codeunit"-range for custom code (2087675 –2087684).
