This is the general process for installing and upgrading iMIS:
1. Preparing all servers and workstations
After ensuring all computers meet the system requirements, you have updates, tests, and settings to apply to prepare your database servers, appservers, and workstations.
Upgrading requires you to prepare AR/Cash records by posting batches, back up customized business objects (which will be overwritten), and perform database upgrades, checks, backups, and tasks related to indexes and triggers.
3. Installing and upgrading iMIS
In a basic install/upgrade, you run setup on a single appserver, specifying a Complete installation. To create a more sophisticated server architecture, you can choose a Custom option to install specific iMIS applications and options on any computer. For both types, the database work is automated: you choose whether to create an iMIS database or upgrade an existing one.
Note: For testing purposes, ASI provides a demo database that includes reference site definition and content, as well as sample records (sign in as cbaker/cbaker and change the password). It must be installed on a SQL 2008 case-insensitive server (or newer).
