Summary

How do I upgrade an existing Sage Paperless Construction installation for Sage 300 CRE and Sage 100 Contractor?

Resolution

Updating server

  1. Ensure all users exit Sage.
  2. Launch SPC Server Dashboard (Start, All Programs, Sage Paperless Construction).
     NOTE: If User Access Control is on, right-click SPC Server Dashboard and select Run as administrator. 
  3. Turn off the services by clicking the Services On / Off button in the bottom left. The light bulb turns gray.
     NOTE: For older versions, stop the services from the Web Service, Job Poll Service, and App Service tabs. 
  4. Select the Deployment tab.
  5. Click the Live Update button. This shows the Configure and Deploy buttons.
  6. Click Deploy.
     NOTE: This downloads the latest version, which can take a few minutes. SQL Administration Login screen displays after the download completion. 
  7. Use the sa account to log in when the SQL Administration Login screen appears. Work with your SQL administrator if you forget the sa password.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Select Yes when asked to back up the database before proceeding with the update.
  10. If prompted, enter the path for the backup file and click OK.
     NOTE: This must be a path local on the SQL server. 
  11. Click OK on the update completion success message.
  12. Click the Services On / Off button at the bottom left or restart the services manually.
  13. Click Close.

Updating workstations or clients

  1. Close Sage Paperless Construction if it's open.
     NOTE: Sometime you need to stop the pvault.exe on the workstation using the Task Manager. 
  2. Open the program on the workstations for updates to occur automatically.

If using terminal server

  1. Stop the pvault.exe on the terminal server using the Task Manager.
  2. Log in to the terminal server and launch the program to update automatically.

 NOTE: Users using shortcuts to pVault.exe must launch the pVaultUpdater from the start menu or program files.
