It can also be found in the CINCH 18.57 Release folder on the Greenstone FTP site.

NEW Install/Upgrade Procedures

This chapter describes enhancements made to the installation process of CINCH. These enhancements have been placed in the Install Guide which now reflects both an Installing CINCH and Upgrading CINCH section. New installations and upgrades from versions prior to 18.56 will need to upgrade to 18.56 first. (CIN-5336)

 This chapter contains the following section:

 ·         Changes to SQL Maintenance

·         Changes to Table Utility

·         Changes to SQL Scripts

 

Changes to SQL Maintenance

Users will no longer be required to run Microsoft Dynamics’ SQL Maintenance when installing or updating CINCH/Intellego. The creation of all CINCH/Intellego tables and auto procedures are taken care of within the Table Utility window.

 

Changes to Table Utility

This window has been streamlined to aid in user interaction with the upgrade process.

 

  1. Open Table Utility

(Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Maintenance >> CINCH Maintenance >> Table Utility)

WARNINGS:

·         You must be logged in as “sa” or “DYNSA” to open the Table Utility window.

·         The table update process is a SINGLE USER situation. Do NOT allow one user to update one company while another user attempts to update another company. During the table update process existing data is copied from the company database to a tempdb database. If two users try to update the same tempdb at the same time the update WILL error.

 

2. Product has replaced the Product From field and scrolling window and will default with CINCH or CINCH.

Note: The system looks to the Dynamics.set file for which product to display. CinchAg indicates CINCH and IRDCustom indicates CINCH.

 

3. File Series functionality has not changed but it has moved and will continue to default to Project.

 

4. Upgrade From

a.       Initially defaults NA (Not Applicable) but will default to the previously installed version the next time the system is updated.

Notes:

·         Starting with release 18.57, the system will record the installed version within the IRGNMainSETP table in the IRVersion field.

·         Upon upgrade, the un-chunking process will move the installed version within the IRGNMainSETP table’s IRVersion field to the IRVersionPrev field. It is the IRVersionPrev value that will default into the Upgrade From field.

 WARNING: Manually deleting, renaming, or restoring the CINCH/Intellego dictionary will not update the IRGNMainSETP file.

 b.       Drop-down will display versions starting with 18.56.  The version is based on the initial release of the version which is released each December.

c.        The expansion arrow, when pressed, will select all the tables changed or created between the Update From version and the version being installed. These tables will then be displayed in the Select Tables window.

Note: The tables to be updated are currently hard coded within the software and include both the System and Project File Series tables.

 

5. Available Tables defaults all the tables for the Product and File Series selected.

a.       Product CINCH/Intellego and Files Series Project defaults all CINCH/Intellego tables within the Company database.

b.       Product CINCH/Intellego and Files Series System default all CINCH/Intellego tables within the Dynamics database.

 

6. Selected Tables displays tables either selected individually and/or selected by the Upgrade From expansion button.

WARNING:  The system will not stop or warn a user from adding an additional table or removing a selected upgrade table.

 

7. Backfills

a.       If upgrading only one version, follow the backfill instructions indicated within the installation guide.

b.       If upgrading multiple versions, run the backfill scripts manually for each version.

 

8. Optional Buttons:

a.       Create CINCH/Intellego Jobs (No Changes)

b.       Create Tables (No Changes)

c.        Update Indexes – (No Changes)

Note: Indexes are automatically updated upon closing the Table Utility window if the compare button has been clicked before closing the window.

 

Changes to SQL Scripts

The following seven SQL scripts have been combined into one script called SQLCompanyCINCHR1857.sql.

  1. SQLCompanyFunctionsR1857.sql

  2. SQLCompanyViewsR1857.sql

  3. SQLCompanyProceduresR1857.sql

  4. SQLCompanyTriggersR1857.sql

  5. SQLCompanyEconnectProcsR1857.sql

  6. IRGrant.sql

  7. SQL command exec IRCSBindDefAll

WARNING:  The SQL command “exec IRCSBindDefAll” included in the SQLCompanyCINCHR1857.sql could take up to 15 minutes to complete and is the same process that runs when using the Bind Defaults window (Microsoft Dynamics GP >> Maintenance >> CINCH Maintenance >> Bind Defaults.)
