Follow the steps below to update the FireStart Server:
- Close Config-Wizard and Client, if it's open locally
- Stop FireStart
- Take a snapshot of the VM
- Backup DB
- Start new setup
- Click through the setup process
- Start FireStart
- Be patient, if there are any updates to the DB, this might take some time.
After the server setup has been installed, the installer for the Outlook Add-In and for the FireStart Client can be found on the FireStart Server under %installdir%\FireStart Resources\Downloads.
To update the Outlook Add-In, uninstall the previous version and install the new version. The version of the Outlook Add-In should always be identical to the version of the FireStart Server. See also Outlook Add-In
Note: When updating FireStart, the FireStart Client will be updated automatically for both major and minor version updates.
If the RemoteEventReceiver is running on the same host as the FireStart Server, it will be updated automatically with the server. If it is running on a remote IIS, please follow the section "Deploy RemoteEventReceiver" at Installation on a remote IIS to update it. To update the RemoteEventReceiver on Azure, please follow the "Deployment on Azure" section at Installation on Azure.
We strongly recommend that you run a test server in addition to, and in alignment with, your production server. Before you release a new update in production, it best to first test the update using a test server. In order to test the update properly and ensure it runs smoothly, be sure that the test environment contains production-like data. After updating the test environment, check your processes and workflows using data and scenarios similar to those in the production server. A test server is included with FireStart Client.
