Upgrading versions prior to v4.3
If you are upgrading a system that is currently version 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 of
FuelsManager, you will need to update the database system to the 6.0 version. To
do this, you need to run the FMSystemUpdate utility.
If you are upgrading from version 4.3, you do not have to run the FM System
Update utility.
The FuelsManager System Update utility will not update any version before
version 4.0.
Before Updating Your Database
Before running the FuelsManager System Update Utility, do the following:
• Update your version of the FuelsManager Defense software to the latest
version
• Shut down FMSystemManager and do not restart it until after you have
completed the update
• Make a backup copy of your existing FMProject database file
• If you have not already done so, copy the FMProject database you want to
upgrade into the current FMProject folder.
• Important!
Copy the FuelsManager.act file from your old ...\FuelsManager
folder to the new ...\FuelsManager folder. If you do not do this, the update
utility will not be able to update any of your user, user groups, or security
permissions data
Items not updated
The FuelsManager System Update utility will not update previous versions of
communications driver configurations. In order to upgrade this part of your
configuration, you should export all the source assignments prior to starting the
upgrade; upgrade your database using the FMSystemUpdate utility; recreate your
communications configuration; then re-import the source assignments.
Alternately, you can update the software version-by-version, as described in the
Troubleshooting section.
