Title:
HOW TO:  Upgrade an Existing FLEETMATE Enterprise Edition Installation


DATABASE UPGRADE PROCEDURE:

  1. First start your existing FLEETMATE Enterprise client software, use the Help | About... menu, and note your current Build number.
     

  2. Close FLEETMATE on  all other PCs.
     

  3. Perform the download/installation process for the Enterprise Edition from the FLEETMATE Website.
     

  4. Look in the C:\Program Files\FLEETMATE_Enterprise\Database\Scripts folder for files named in the following manner. "Alter_FLEETMATE_10009.sql".  The 10009 in the filename indicates that it will bring your database structure up to date with FLEETMATE Build #9. If you already have build #9, you may skip this because no changes are needed. However, if your current build is #8, you will need to execute Alter_FLEETMATE_10009.sql.
     
    If your current build is #7, you will need to execute
    Alter_FLEETMATE_10008.sql and then execute  Alter_FLEETMATE_10009.sql to alter your database structure in an incremental fashion so that it matches the most recent build number.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The alter scripts assume a database name of FLEETMATE. If your database name is different, please edit all occurrences of the term "FLEETMATE" within the script to your actual database name, prior to running the alter script(s).
     

  5. Once this process is performed, you should repeat the download/installation process for all other FLEETMATE Enterprise installations on all other PCs.
