=== Journyx Timesheet 7.6 Upgrade === This installer package will upgrade Journyx Timesheet from versions 5.6, 6.0, 7.0, 7.5 and 7.5m1 to version 7.6. Before you begin, please check the Journyx.com web site for more detailed migration instructions especially if you are upgrading from version 5.5 or earlier. http://www.journyx.com/support/migration.html Please follow the instructions below carefully. If you encounter an error message while performing the upgrade process, please copy the error message and send it and any other relevant information (such as which OS and database you are using) to the Journyx support team at support@journyx.com. NOTE: Instructions for Windows platforms are listed first. Skip down to "Upgrade Process for UNIX" below for install instructions on Linux, AIX, FreeBSD, and other Unix-like platforms. == Upgrade Process for Windows Servers == WARNING! On the Windows platform, the Timesheet upgrade program must restart the IIS web server for the upgrade to take effect. When IIS is restarted, any other web sites or web applications running on IIS will temporarily unavailable for a few moments. The upgrade program will warn you that it needs to restart IIS before it performs the upgrade. You can press Cancel on that dialog box if you do not wish to restart IIS at that time. Simply rerun the upgrade when you are ready to restart IIS. These instructions, as well as the install script and patches, are delivered in the JournyxTimesheet_76_Patch.zip archive. On some versions of Windows you will have to install a program that handles the zip compression format, such as WinZip. STEP ONE Unzip the archive in the c:\Program Files\Journyx\jwt\bin\ directory, or the appropriate %WTHOME%\jwt\bin directory if you didn't install to the default location. When you unzip the patcher in %WTHOME%\jwt\bin it will create a new folder under that called 7.6_patch. STEP TWO Open a command window and go to the new 7.6_patch directory. To do that, click on: Start -> Programs -> Journyx Timesheet then click on "Timesheet Command Line Prompt". You should now be in the %WTHOME%\jwt\bin directory of Timesheet. Now change to the patch directory by typing this then pressing enter: cd 7.6_patch STEP THREE Now execute the install.bat program inside that directory by typing: install and then press Enter. *** WARNING -- Some virus scanners have been known to strip out .bat *** (DOS batch file) files from email attachments. In case this *** happens, simply copy the provided install.bak file to install.bat *** and run that. To copy a file, type this in a DOS command *** prompt window: *** *** copy install.bak install.bat *** *** Then type 'install' as above to run the patch upgrade. Follow the instructions in the install program. It will prompt you to make a backup. You should let it make one unless you have just made one yourself. When the install program is finished the system upgrade and maintenance patches will be installed and your site is ready to use. == Upgrade Process For UNIX == Applies to Unix-like systems such as Linux, AIX, Solaris, BSD These instructions, as well as the install script and patches, are delivered in the file named JournyxTimesheet_76_Patch.tar.gz You should un-tar (decompress) this archive to your Timesheet install directory's $WTHOME/pi/bin directory. Therefore if the install location ($WTHOME) for Timesheet is /home/journyx/jtime/jtime then you should un-tar the archive to: /home/journyx/jtime/jtime/pi/bin. The Upgrade Process STEP ONE Open a command prompt shell on the server machine and navigate to the pi/bin directory under the main install directory ($WTHOME). STEP TWO You have to "source" the setup file to you have the $WTHOME install directory variable set in your environment. If you are in the $WTHOME/pi/bin directory, the setup file will be there. Execute this command exactly as shown below. First a dot, then a space, then dot slash setup. cd /home/journyx/jtime/jtime/pi/bin . ./setup You should put the above command in your shell startup file (such as your ~/.profile file) to skip this step in the future. STEP THREE First change to the $WTHOME/pi/bin directory if you haven't already. $ cd $WTHOME/pi/bin Next, decompress the archive by using the following command: $ tar -xvzf JournyxTimesheet_76_Patch.tar.gz (or on some systems:) $ gunzip -c JournyxTimesheet_76_Patch.tar.gz | tar -xvf - STEP FOUR Change to the new 7.6_patch directory and run the install program: $ cd 7.6_patch $ ./install Follow the instructions in the install program. It will prompt you to make a backup. You should let it make one unless you have just made one yourself.
