iFileAudit Release Upgrade Installation

Kisco Information Systems recommends that you print this web page and use it as a check list while installing your iFileAudit software upgrade from the CD that you have received. The CD includes the software plus the latest software documentation. The "Manuals" folder in the CD contains the latest documentation in PDF format.

Before you start your upgrade we recommend that you review the amount of history currently on file for your iFileAudit registered files. The upgrade installation may take a very long time if you have a lot of files registered and if there is a lot of history on file for some or all of the files. If you have files with a lot of history, consider purging those files before you start the upgrade. Also, if you have archived history when purging, you should remove the archive file members to backup tape before you start the upgrade as they will also need to be copied during the upgrade. The archive file is named FAANZARC in the library named FILAUD. DO NOT REMOVE the archive file, just the members.

To install a iFileAudit upgrade from media received from Kisco Information Systems, please do the following:

1. Make sure that no users are logged into any of the menus in the iFileAudit system.

2. Sign on using the QSECOFR id.

3. Check the following system values. They should be set as indicated here. If they are not, note the current settings then change them to these settings:

   QALWOBJRST - *ALL
   QVFYOBJRST - value 3 or lower
   QFRCCVNRST - value 0
   

4. Place the installation CD in your system and key the following command:

   LODRUN DEV(xxxx)

   where xxxx is the name of your CD drive.

5. During installation, iFileAudit does the following:
   • Saves the old iFileAudit program library in library FILAUDOLD in a save file named SAVF
   • History information and settings are transferred to the newly installed library.
   • Transfers your permanent install license code to the new version.
   • Additional documentation is printed which covers topics that have been added or changed since the user documentation manual was last printed.
   • Preserves your configuration settings and registered files from the current installed version.

6. When the command finishes, the iFileAudit Master Menu will be displayed.

7. If you changed any system values at step #4, reset them back to their original values now.
