Introduction

Purpose

The Installation Instructions assist you in performing new software installations of the AGRIS System Version 2021.31.0 software. Also use these instructions to upgrade AGRIS System Version 9.5versions 10.0.0 and higher to this new version.
For information regarding running AGRIS on Microsoft SQL Server, please refer to the documentation here: AGRIS on Microsoft SQL Server

Summary of Major System Requirements - Added and Removed

The following table summarizes the major hardware (HW) and software (SW) requirements changes relating to the maintenance and support of AGRIS 2021.31.0 (compared to the previous release of AGRIS).

*The installation utility checks for at least 512MB of RAM and quits if this amount is not met.

Upgrading From Previous Versions of AGRIS

Note:this amount is not met.

Upgrading From Previous Versions of AGRIS

Important Note:  Dataset conversions from version 9.6.x or earlier are not supported in this upgrade.  If you are upgrading from AGRIS Version version 9.4.6.x or earlier, please contact Greenstone Technical Support (800-366-2474). Conversions from V9.4.6.x or earlier are not supported in this upgrade.you will first need to upgrade to version 20.3.0 with the instructions HERE.  Be sure to convert all of your datasets to version 20.3.0.  Then return to this page to continue the upgrade to version 21.1.0.

New as of V9.6.0.0: Retained Settings During Upgrade

The upgrade process in AGRIS retains certain settings from the previous version of AGRIS (such as the settings in the Agris.ini, the Installation Type, the Distribution Folder path, and the COM+ user credentials). During an upgrade installation, the installation process will skip the windows in the Installation Wizard for the retained settings since it already has that information.
If you do not want to retain your settings from the previous version of AGRIS, you can manually uninstall the previous version of AGRIS in Add/Remove Programs or the Program Manager prior to starting the AGRIS installation.

New as of V9.6.0.0: Relocation of the AGRIS startup executable

The following message will appear when upgrading from a version previous to 9.6.0.0. Please read the message carefully. Click the No button to exit the installation process. Click the Yes button to proceed with the installation process.

RetailWise Customers

RetailWise customers cannot upgrade directly to AGRIS 2021.31.0 and must coordinate their upgrade to Store Manager ES and AGRIS 2021.31.0 with the Sales Team (800-393-0075). The AGRIS Integration Platform (AIP) for RetailWise, which is translates data between RetailWise and AGRIS, is not supported in AGRIS 9.5.0.7 and higher. Note that customers already running Store Manager ES are not impacted by this and are able to upgrade to AGRIS 2021.31.0.

Tips for Minimizing Downtime During the Installation

Multiple client installations can run simultaneously.

1. 1. From a client machine, browse out to the UNC path of the Agrisdist folder
   2. Please refer to Appendix A for help on determining your Agrisdist UNC path.
   3. Perform at least the first dataset conversions on the server.

AGRIS Auto-Update

As a result of many requests for improving the software update process, AGRIS includes a utility for updating AGRIS client computers. This feature, called the AGRIS Auto-Update, assumes the AGRIS users/clients are running AGRIS V9.5.0.27 or greater, any updates made to the Component Server are automatically detected by the system.

Requirements

• • You must install the AGRIS System on a separate machine usually referred to as the component server. This type of configuration is usually referred to as a Network Configuration.
  • You must install the AGRIS Auto-Update utility via a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path:

...

• • All users must have Administrator privileges for their local computers.
  • This feature is not supported on Terminal or Citrix Servers.
  • This feature is not supported on Standalone installations.

Description

When you launch AGRIS from a client machine, AGRIS compares its local version to the Component Server version. If an update is detected, it automatically prepares the update application and prompts you to decide whether or not to update the system:

The AGRIS System Update Window

...

Note: Depending on the state of the system, you may need to restart your workstation following the update.

Procedure

Note: AGRIS requires that you specify network locations using UNC paths.

1. 1. 1. Create a network share (Example: \\servername\apps\AGRISDIST). All users need Read permissions to this share.
      2. The network administrator should save all the installation files to this share.
      3. If an update is available (update.exe), it should be copied to the same folder that contains the setup.exe, which was created in the previous step.
      4. Install AGRIS Version 2021.31.0 or later on all AGRIS servers, for example, component servers, database servers, etc. Also, apply updates, if they exist, for example, update.exe.
      5. Install AGRIS Version 2021.31.0 or later on all your AGRIS workstations. The AGRIS clients are now ready to detect updates from your servers. When you receive an update from AGRIS, you only have to update your Component Server(s) and application server(s). If you have not specifically set up a Component Server(s), then we assume the database server is the Component Server.

Creating the Installation and Distribution Folders

Prior to installing AGRIS on the database server, you must create the following folders:

...

If choosing folder names other than those specified above, be aware that the name of the directory where the software is installed (typically the AGRIS folder) cannot exceed eight characters.
Review Section 2.11 , below, for detailed information on setting up these folders.

Setting up the Recommended Directory Structure

To set up the installation and distribution folders in accordance with AGRIS standards, please perform the following steps:
Create the Apps folder:

...

1. 1. Click File >> New >> Folder
   2. Type Agrisdist as the name of the new folder and press [Enter].

Assigning Permissions for File Access

There are two levels of security involved with running AGRIS:

...

Disabling Offline File Synchronization

Offline File Synchronization, a feature of Windows which enables users to synchronize files between their local workstations and the network, can cause severe problems with database applications. Disable the Offline File Synchronization in the Apps folder to prevent any file synchronization from occurring.

Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019

1. Double-click My Computer > C: (or the drive where the Apps folder resides).
2. Right-click the Apps folder >> Properties
3. Click on the Sharing tab
4. Click Advanced Sharing… button.
5. Click Caching button.
6. Click No files or programs from the shared folder are available offline
7. Click OK >> OK >> Close

Backing up AGRIS Data

Backing Up Open Database Files

Occasionally, if users fail to completely exit from AGRIS prior to running the backup routine, the backup software fails to completely back up the AGRIS datasets. Due to the file relationships that AGRIS maintains, the resulting, partially backed up datasets are often not useable if you need to restore the entire dataset.
To minimize this problem, an open file agent, such as Pervasive Backup Agent™, is recommended. Backup Agent increases the chances of a successful backup if files are held open while the backup is running and is compatible with most backup solutions. For additional information about the Pervasive Backup Agent, please contact the Technical Assistance Center (800-366-2474).

Automated Blender Setup

Starting with AGRIS V9.5.0.9, the Automated Blender Setup procedure now requires the assignment of an AGRIS dataset user, which allows the Auto Blender service to log on to and load session information relative to the dataset.

Configuring Anti-Virus Software

AGRIS is compatible with a variety of anti-virus solutions, but additional configuration reduces the negative performance impact that the real-time anti-virus scanning may cause. Modify your real-time file scanning to exclude the entire AGRIS directory and sub-directories. Failure to configure the anti-virus properly may cause intermittent errors within AGRIS.
Real-time scanning also increases the time needed to install, or update to, AGRIS and PSQL, and may even prevent PSQL from installing. To alleviate both issues, temporarily disable real-time file scanning during the installation.
Please consult the anti-virus documentation for instructions on how to exclude files and folders from the real-time scan and to temporarily disable the real-time file scanning.

1.0 Server on Citrix Server/Terminal Server

1. Log all users out of the Citrix/Terminal Server(s) and prevent additional users from logging on while installing AGRIS.
2. Close all other applications and restart the server.
3. Install a supported version of Pervasive® PSQL™ using the instructions available on the AGRIS Customer Portal site:
   https://culturana.force.com/s/article/ka036000000oLocAAE/AGRIS-Installing-Actian-PSQL-v12-SP1-and-Update-3?r=1 * = NOTE: It may be best to use the Edge or Internet Explorer browser as the Chrome browser may block the above links.
4. Complete section 3.2 to install AGRIS.
5. Manually set the AGRIS data path - see Section 13.1 for additional information.
6. Save the AGRIS data path and restart the server.

Note:  Ensure all AgroGuide users connecting via a Citrix Server/Terminal Server have full control of the Program Files\Common Files directory on that server.

Environment variable required on a Citrix Server/Terminal Server for AGRIS

A Citrix Server/Terminal Server running AGRIS needs to have an AgrisTS=1 System Environment Variable on it in order for AGRIS to function correctly (for correctly mapping printers to the correct station for example).  To add/check this:

...

AGRIS as a default will assign your PSN (workstation number) by your NIC (network card number), not by your login.  Users logging in to AGRIS through Citrix Server/Terminal Server will all have the same NIC address, creating conflicts.  The AgrisTS will change AGRIS so that it assigns your PSN by your network Log-in ID instead.  This ensures that everyone not only has unique station numbers but they will also have the same station number at each login. Each workstation logging in thru a Citrix Server/Terminal Server should have its own unique user id.

Optional Separate Component Server Installation

The majority of users designate a single server to act as the Component Server and to store the database files. Customers that extensively use the reporting features of AGRIS may require a separate server to act as the Component Server. Please call the Technical Assistance Center (800-366-2474) to determine if a separate Component Server is necessary, or advisable.

Converting Datasets

If you are converting from earlier versions of the AGRIS Business System to Version 20.3.0, this is a simple process.

Note:If you are upgrading from AGRIS Version 9.4.6.x or earlier, please contact Greenstone Technical Support (800-366-2474). Conversions from V9.4.6.x or earlier are not supported in this upgrade.

This version of AGRIS supports dataset conversions from versions 10.0.0 and higher.

1.0

• Launch AGRIS 2021.31.0 and the Select Dataset screen will appear.
• Choose the desired dataset and click Select.
• A window appears describing that a dataset conversion is required.

...

• • A dataset must be converted before users (and other services) can access it.
  • Each dataset requires its own conversion.
  • Once the dataset conversion process is complete, it is complete for all users.
  • Complete the first dataset conversion from start to finish (including logging into the dataset) before starting other conversions. This ensures that the Datasets*.AGR files, which are shared between all datasets, convert successfully.
  • Converting a dataset on the database server typically takes less time than on a client machine.
  • Simultaneously converting multiple datasets may significantly degrade performance if large file sizes are present. If you still wish to convert multiple datasets simultaneously, please contact the Technical Assistance Center for more details.
  • Consider prioritizing the conversion of datasets to minimize the impact to end users.

Licensing Setup

Use the licensing setup to set the number of user licenses for each purchased package. The licensing setup for the AGRIS Business System is located in the main system menu under Help. Use this process along with the licensing diskette that accompanies the AGRIS 2021.31.0 installation CD. Load the licensing diskette during installation or if any package licenses are upgraded.
Note:Program module icons are not present until the package is licensed for use. An access code is required during this procedure, so perform this procedure during hours when the Technical Assistance Center (800-366-2474) is available. Tell them that you are performing the license update procedure and need an access code.

Setting up AGRIS Licenses

1. • From the AGRIS System Manager Menu, select Help, and then Update Licenses.
   • When prompted to Update Allocated Package Licenses, click Yes.
   • Contact our Technical Assistance Center (800-366-2474) for an access code to enter in the Database Security Configuration window.
   • Read the Access Number to the Support Representative, who then provides an Access Code for you to enter.
   • In the Source field, provide the path to where the AGRIS.LIC file resides (if the AGRIS.LIC file exists in C:\Apps then C:\Apps is your source, not C:\Apps\AGRIS.LIC). Please note that AGRIS license files are generally sent via email and must be saved to a directory in order to apply it. Be sure to save the file with the name AGRIS.LIC as any other name will cause the license update process to fail.
   • In the Destination field, type the drive letter and folder location of your AGRIS dataset.
   • Click OK. The Update Licenses window appears and displays the following information:
   • Licenses Column shows your License count before the update.
   • Update To indicates what your new changes will be.
   • View Only is the View count before any changes.
   • Upgrade To is your new View License count.
   • Click Apply to initialize your changes.
   • If you want to view license changes, from the AGRIS System Manager Menu, select Help, and then About AGRIS.
   • Click File, and then Print.
   • The last section of the printout shows your licensing information.
   • If anyone is using any of the packages, the Licenses In Use column is updated.
   • If anyone is in the view function, the View Only In Use column is updated.

Setting up the Extended Options License

Note:  Extended options control access to selected package menu options. Upgrading to AGRIS 2021.31.0 requires application of initial extended option settings from the license file. All extended options are considered "off" until this process is complete. Skipping this process will block access to package menu options controlled by extended options.

...

If the current dataset has already been converted to AGRIS 2021.31.0 and this is the first time Extended Option System Default Settings have been updated, then elect to update the current dataset with the System Default Settings. Once Extended Option System Default Settings are set, they will be automatically applied to a dataset during conversion to AGRIS 2021.31.0, or when a package is initialized in a dataset.

If an extended option is enabled in the System Default file, then that option can be enabled\disabled per dataset.

Path Settings

The agris.ini file is primarily used to instruct clients as to where datasets and user defined reports are located. It is located in the root of the AGRIS installation folder and contains 6 lines at the end that may need to be set depending on your configuration of AGRIS.
Essentially, the Data Path and Work Path should be filled in. The remaining paths will default to the correct locations based on how the Data Path is set.
Note:Path setting information is also provided in the agris.ini file.

Original File Source Code

;Agris Setup Information
;---------------------------------------------------------------------
;The following explain how the paths will default if not set here or
;if the folder the setting points to does not exist at startup.
;Assuming Agris was installed in C:\AGRIS, Data Path will be set to
;C:\AGRIS\DATASETS.
;Support Path will be set relative to the Data Path if Support exists
;there else the Support Path is set relative to the application/program
;path. This folder is required for the application to run and the
;installation program installs Support under the application folder
;i.e. C:\AGRIS. Agris will not create the support folder. It assumes
;it already exists.
;Userprog Path will be set relative to the parent
;folder of the Data Path setting, if USERPROG folder
;exists there. If not, the UserProg path will be created.
;Work Path will be set to Data Path if Work Path is left blank.
;Work Path will be set relative to drive specification of the Data Path
;setting if Work Path does not contain a drive specification. Assuming
;Data Path is set to C:\AGRIS\DATASETS and Work Path is TEMP, then
;Work Path would be reset to C:\TEMP. Work Path will not be reset if
;Work Path is set to an absolute path such as C:\TEMP. Agris startup
;verifies the Work Path. If work path doesn't exist Agris will attempt
;to create it but parent folders cannot be created. If the parent folder
;does not exist the create work path will fail which will cause Agris to
;terminate.
;Component Server will be set to the name of the database server if
;Component Server is left blank. Otherwise, specify the name of the
;server which you intend to utilize as your component server. You can
;also specify the ip address of the component server but it is not
;recommended.
;Locking Server will be set to the name of the database server if
;the Locking Server is left blank. This has been the default behavior
;for prior AGRIS releases. In most cases, this field will be blank.
;However, if this field is set, it is recommended that it be set to
;one (and only one) of the component servers.

;GEOData Path provides the ability to reference your GEOReference
;data such as TigerData from various locations on your network.
;This path can contain drive letters or UNC but it must be a valid
;location, otherwise you will get an error. If the GEOData Path is
;empty then the default is Agrisroot\support\agy. If the GEOData
;Path is set then this value will override the default.
;Notification URL01 through Notification URL99 can be set to
;point to different Web Services that may be needed. They must
;be sequentially set with no gaps starting with Notification URL01.
;For example, Notification URL03 can not be set unless
;Notification URL01 and Notification URL02 have been set. If
;Notification URL02 needs to be removed, then Notification URL03
;should be changed to Notification URL02 or Notification URL02
;must be set to something like "Available" or "Unused".

The Alternate AGRIS INI File

AGRIS includes an option that allows you to use an alternate initialization file. This feature allows you to set up multiple INI files, pointing to various locations, based on the options set in those INI files. This feature also allows you to access reports from another USERPROG directory.
To use this feature, you must edit the AGRIS shortcut:

...

• • The Target command, above, shows an example of allowing the shortcut to point to an alternate agris.ini file. This is accomplished by including the "/I" parameter, followed by the drive letter and full directory path, then the name of the agris.ini file. You can also use this new parameter within a .BAT file from DOS when launching the main AGRIS menu (SysMenu.exe). You can set up multiple desktop shortcuts or batch files and use the command line parameter to access the alternate agris.ini files. The contents of the alternate agris.ini file allow access to multiple sets of "dataset" directory and "userprog" directories with one installation of the Version 2021.31.0 system.
  • Add the current .ini file location and current SUPPORT and USERPROG path settings. Since you can access multiple INI files, the System Information Report was enhanced to show the currently active Userprog, Support and Data paths, and the currently active agris.ini file.

Check Version

This test shows the version of AGRIS installed on the Client and the Server.

Test All Remote Components

This test shows the results of testing all of the COM+ components. The following information is displayed in the results:

...

Note:It may take longer for the test to finish if there are errors in the creation of some components.

Test AGY Components

This tests only the AgroGuide (AGY) COM+ components. Results are provided in the same format as the full test.

Test Only API XML Components

This tests only the API XML COM+ components. Results are provided in the same format as the full test.

Diagnose Server Components

This tests for connectivity between the client workstation and the COM+ server. The Sys_Svr_TestRemote.cls TestRemote tests basic connectivity between the workstation and the server to be able to create objects. The ShrDataServProxy.DTransMGR tests that connectivity is in place for the FMB and CPR applications.
You must specify the "Remote Server Name or IP address" to test remote application connectivity. Use this test to determine if components are responding to program calls. If the test fails, then specify the IP address of the server to bypass/confirm name resolution problems. The Remote Server Name defaults to the AGRIS Component Server specified in the agris.ini file. If the component server is not specified in the agris.ini then the default is the database server. If the test passes with the Server IP address but not with the Server Name then there is probably a problem with name resolution on the network. Name resolution must be functioning correctly for some AGRIS modules to work.
Test the components by clicking either "Test Sys_Svr_TestRemote.cls TestRemote" or "Test ShrDataServProxy.DTransMGR" to test the remote server components. These buttons instantiate an object on the specified COM+ server, then call that object. A box containing the following message appears:

...

There is also an option to manually enter any COM+ component and click Create Object on any dll class to test that individual component.

Test Print Regulatory

This test provides the performance information of the print regulatory routine through an indefinite loop. The performance of the routine is shown on the form and any anomaly is recorded to the specified file for later analysis.

...

Test Licenses

Use this feature to test license performance. If noticeable delays are occurring while navigating the AGRIS System, this utility helps diagnose the problem. Typically, it should take less than a second for the system to access a license, but there are instances where it could take longer. If times are consistently longer than a second, then the network configuration may need to be investigated. Typically, when these delays occur, they are caused by improper network configurations.
The licensing component is called after selecting most System Manager Menu options. It accesses a license and then compares the current count to the licenses purchased.
To access this utility from AGRIS:

1. 1. • Click Utilities >> Diagnostics >> Test Licenses.
      • Click Start Test to access a license
      • Count the total in use
      • Release the license each second. Once started, the button changes to Stop Test.
      • Click Stop Test to stop the test.

Validate Database

A new validation utility now allows you to scan datasets for errors before converting them.
To access this utility from AGRIS:

...

1. • Either accept the default path and filename to validate the current dataset, or type in the location of another dataset you want to validate.
   • Click OK to run the validation utility.
   • When the validation process is complete, any errors are displayed in an error log.

Database Conversion Validation

If your datasets require reformatting as part of the upgrade to AGRIS 2021.31.0, a new validation utility now allows you to scan these datasets for errors before converting them.
When starting a Dataset Conversion during the upgrade to Version 2021.31.0, the Select Dataset window will appear.

...

• Click the new Validate button prior to starting the conversion process to scan the original datasets for any potential problems areas that need to be addressed prior to the conversion.

• Click OK to start the conversion process. When the conversion is complete, the system displays the main menu.

  The Database Conversion utility creates a log entry for the conversion of each package in the dataset. When reviewing the conversion log (convert.log) following a dataset conversion, you may see old dates in the log entries. This occurs when you have converted a dataset before. The log appends any new log entries to the bottom of the existing log, which can result in the same file appearing in the file multiple times, with different conversion dates.

Setting the TCP Ports

Anchor
Appendix_H Appendix_H

A firewall is recommended for any organization using high-speed internet access to help prevent unauthorized inbound connections (intrusions) from the internet into a local network. There are 2 types of firewalls: hardware and software. A software firewall is an application that runs on an individual computer while a hardware firewall is a physical device, such as a router, that provides firewall capabilities. Greenstone recommends the use of a hardware firewall to secure the network. No special configuration should be required to allow access to AGRIS when using a hardware firewall as AGRIS does not run across the internet (remote locations access AGRIS via Citrix/Terminal Server so those ports do need to be open).
Some organizations may also wish to utilize a software firewall, such as Windows Firewall, in addition to a hardware firewall. Here is a listing of the primary ports that must be opened on a software firewall in order to allow access to AGRIS:
Primary Ports:
Pervasive: 1583 and 3351 (TCP)
DNS: 53 (UDP, TCP)
COM+ (a.k.a. Enterprise Services): 135 (TCP) + random ports between 1024-65534 (TCP)*
Additional ports that may be required depending upon the system configuration:
Terminal Services: 3389 (TCP)
Citrix: 1494 (TCP)
FTP: 21 (TCP)

...

Optimization Settings

There are three areas covered by the Optimization Settings:

• Recommended Settings for Pervasive PSQL

Clicking Yes on the Optimization Settings prompt will apply the recommended settings for AGRIS for the Pervasive PSQL installation on the local machine. There are recommended settings for the Client, Server, and Workgroup installation types

...

Allow Cache Engine Connections - No
Create File Version - 9.5
Limit Segment Size to 2GB - No
Connection Timeout - 30
Communication Protocols - TCP/IP only
Use Cache Engine - No
Runtime Server Support - No

• Server Message Block (SMB) set to version 1.

SMB is an operating system setting related to file access. By default, some of the operating systems supported by AGRIS have the SMB version set to version 2 or greater. AGRIS requires SMB version 1.
The Optimization Settings process will set the SMB setting to version 1 when the Pervasive Workgroup or Pervasive Server is installed. As it is a mandatory setting for AGRIS, it will be set to 1 for both Yes and No answers to the Optimization Settings prompt.

• COM+ Error Reporting Enabled

The Optimization Settings process enables error reporting for COM+. It will be enabled for both Yes and No answers to the Optimization Settings prompt.

Warning Messages in Event Viewer

After installing AGRIS there may be a series of Warning messages in the Windows Event Viewer with a Source of Complus. These are expected warning messages and are not a cause for concern. See the example screenshot below:

Installation Log Files

The log files created by the AGRIS installation are located in the following folders. These log files are helpful for troubleshooting any problems that may occur during the installation process.
