To upgrade AggreGate Server to the new version, please follow this instructions carefully in order to protect server database from being corrupted:

1.Stop all AggreGate Clients
2.Stop AggreGate Server or service if server is running in the Windows Service Mode
3.Backup the database! Refer to your database server's administration manual for details. If you are using AggreGate Server embedded database, just back up the /db folder of AggreGate Server installation.

If the upgrade fails or the system does not work as expected, roll back to the previous version of AggreGate Server and AggreGate Client by restoring their installation folders and AggreGate Server database from backup. Contact Tibbo technical support for solving the problem.

Creating New Resources

The upgraded version of AggreGate may include lots of new built-in resources (alerts, reports, widgets, etc.). These resources are not created automatically during upgrade. If you'd like to make use of them, run Create Resources (cm_create) action from the root context and select resources to create. See Managing Built-In Resources for details.
