===============================================
Download and update routines are only available
to monitoring centres that have their support
payments up to date (or have paid separately).
===============================================

These instructions explain how to:

a..Get a list of recent changes to the ADSW SQL 
program

b..Download and install the latest ADSW SQL 
signal definitions

c..Download and install the latest ADSW SQL 
program files

WARNING:
We are now using Winzip Version 10 for 
compressing and encrypting (with 128bit 
selected) all new download files and 
passwords.  

You will not be able to unzip these new files
if you are using earlier versions of Winzip or 
some other compatible utility.


LIST OF RECENT CHANGES
===============================================
Go to www.ntsoftware.com.au/changes

Enter the password "Network"

Read thru the list of changes .. print if 
necessary



DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE LATEST SIGNAL DEFS
===============================================
It is recommended that you carry out this
procedure immediately prior to doing an update
on the ADSW SQL files.  If you do it after an 
ADSW files update, some signals may not get 
analysed correctly.

Go to www.ntsoftware.com.au/download

Download the latest ADSW SQL signal definition
file into a temporary folder

Unzip the downloaded file into the ADSW folder
on the server.  No password is required.  It 
normally contains just 1 file (FULLDEFS).IMP 

Overwrite if necessary.

On the server, go into menu's other, utility
menu, system, signal defintions.  Click on the
import button.  On the import screen, 
highlight the (FULLDEFS).IMP file then click
on import.  This will import all the latest 
signal definitions.  

It will not overwrite your existing entries
unless they are Not Yet Defined.

When finished, close the import screen - you
may see the list of signal plan names 
increase - these will be new plans that have 
been added by the import.

Close the signal defintions screen, close the 
utiltity menu.



DOWNLOAD THE LATEST ADSW SQL FILES
===============================================
Try to do this routine at a reasonably quiet
time and as soon as possible after an ADSW SQL 
database backup routine has completed.

If your computer support people have set up a
redundancy routine called "Replication" then
they should be called.  Replication must be
completely removed from the ADSW data and
history databases prior to doing the ADSW 
updates.  It can be re-created and applied 
only after the ADSW program has been re-
started and is up and running correctly.

Contact NT Software and ask for the current 
password for the ADSW SQL download.

Create a folder called "Old" under a folder
called ADSWInstall on your ADSW server.  If
this "old" folder exists and already 
contains some files, delete them.

Copy all the "application" type files from
the ADSW folder on the server, into the 
"ADSWInstall\Old" folder.  This step is 
important because it gives you a set of 
files to go back to, if the update fails.

Create a folder called "Latest" under the
ADSWInstall folder on your ADSW server.  If
this "Latest" folder exists and already
contains some files, delete them.

Go to www.ntsoftware.com.au/download

Download the ADSW SQL update file and save
it into the "Latest" folder

Unzip the file into the "Latest" folder - 
using the password supplied by NT Software

Check that you can see a number of 
application type files in the "Latest"
folder.

If all appears to be ok.  On all ADSW 
computers, close down all the ADSW 
programs, including analysis, executioner,
receiver programs, workstation programs,
email exchange, fax exchange and sms
programs.

There must be no ADSW related program
running on any computer in your network.
This is important, because the update may
require exclusive access to the ADSW 
database files

It may not be able to get exclusive 
access if other ADSW programs are 
running.

Copy the new files into the ADSW folder
on the server. If you get an error saying 
something like "cannot copy because file
in use".  Double check that you have
shutdown all ADSW programs.  Then try the
copy again.  

You should not get any errors during 
copying of files.

Do not start the ADSW receiver programs
yet.

Start the ADSW Operations Server program
on the server first - wait until the ADSW
server programs are running.  You should
normally see the Operations log on screen,
the analysis program and the executioner
program running on the server.

If your system is set up differently, make
sure you start the analysis program first,
followed by the executioner.

If all appears to be ok, copy the same
latest files to each computers ADSW 
folder.  This includes any "receiver" 
computers and "workstation" computers
that you may use

Now start the ADSW programs on the 
receiver computers (if used)

Now start the ADSW programs on the 
workstation computers

Now start the ADSW email, fax and sms 
programs as necessary



CHECK AND APPLY
===============================================
Please check all the changes as listed in the
changes page that you previously printed

Please check all the normal functions that you
use in the ADSW program

Report any problems to NT Software asap

Pass details of the changes on to your operators
so that they know what the changes are for and 
how to make use of them
