Task 2.6 Apply Maintenance to FAS

Maintenance to File-AID Services is applied by reinstalling the entire File-AID Services with a newer version.

The installer automatically detects that you have an existing installation and preserves your data, repositories, and configurations while applying updates. Updates to File-AID Services will be published to Compuware Support Center in the Fixes/Downloads page of Topaz Workbench product page. Follow the instructions provided to download the maintenance.

Maintaining FAS

Procedure:

  1. After unzipping the downloaded maintenance, execute the update.bat file to reinstall/update File-AID Services. The installer application will locate your currently installed version of File-AID Services and backup all data and configurations. You will be warned to make sure that there are no active users before proceeding. Then File-AID Services service will be stopped, uninstalled, and then reinstalled in the same directory. All data and repositories will be preserved. Your rules repository may need to be migrated following an update.

Be sure to use the same login user ID (Administrator) you originally specified.

For Linux installations of FAS, upload the new binary and reinstall to the same location using the same install.bin script you tailored during the initial installation. You will be asked to preserve data — selecting Yes is recommended. It is highly recommended that installation of FAS in Linux be done under the authority of superuser.
