Browse to the NotifyLink portal page, http://notifylink.notify.net/portal.asp and select the Upgrade an Existing Server Installation option.
Fill out the form at the bottom of the screen and click the Download button. Then install the NLES upgrade software components in the order that they appear below.
Update the NLES SQL Database Component.
Microsoft Redistributable for Windows Server 2003
To begin the SQL Database Upgrade. Select “Yes” when prompted to upgrade the existing database. The process of upgrading the database component may take some time. When the installer is finished the screen will display the message, “The database has been upgraded successfully.”
Note: Several warning messages appear near the completion of the Database Component installation. This is expected behavior and the messages can be ignored.
EX: Cannot add rows to sysdepends for the current stored procedure because it depends on the missing object 'CheckForPolicyDiffsByClass'. The stored procedure will still be created.
Note: The database upgrade could take awhile to complete, particularly if using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (not recommended for production). Schedule sufficient downtime for your upgrade so as to avoid having to interrupt the database upgrade. Canceling or stopping the upgrade would require you to restore from a backup before beginning again.
Update the NLES Web/HTTP Component
You will be prompted to reboot after the Web/HTTP Component installation is completed if you did not stop all NLES services prior to updating.
Update the NLES Messaging Component
Verify Registry Values
After installing the NLES components, navigate to the Notify Technology Corporation directory using the Windows Registry Editor and verify that LogPath and PimLogDir are pointing to the location where you installed the NLES 4.7 components. If they are not, edit the registry keys so that they are pointing to the correct location. The services will not generate log files if the registry information points to a directory that does not exist.
Apply Software Patches if any are available
From the portal page, select Software Patches and run the latest patch installer. Please refer to the NotifyLink Patch Installer Guide for information on patch application paths and post-installation tasks.
