Upgrading to Timesheet 7.1 from 7.0

 

Upgrading to 7.1 from 7.0 is a simple process and can be achieved by running the appropriate patch installer for the platform on which your organization is running Timesheet.

Before You Run The Patch Installer

As with any change to your Timesheet installation, Journyx strongly recommends that you first perform a test migration by using a separate test server for the migration. In case of any problem or delay in migrating, your original site will still be available. However, if you are running on the Windows Server platform, you will need a separate server machine for the new version, since two versions of Timesheet cannot coexist on the same Windows server. Different versions and sites can coexist on Unix systems as long as each site runs under a different Unix user ID.

Further, if you are using an external database such as Oracle, and you do not want any chance of impacting your other database applications, set up a test Oracle server in addition to the test Timesheet application server. Otherwise create a new account on the existing Oracle server. Do not under any circumstances use the same account as your current production timesheet server.

About The Patch Installer

For a complete list of issues in Timesheet 7.0 that are addressed by Timesheet 7.1, please see the change document for this release.

Please Note: This patch installer is appropriate for 7.0 to 7.1 migration only. If you are currently running any version of Timesheet prior to 7.0 then you will need to follow the traditional upgrade process.

Journyx currently uses this patch installer type of migration between any versions that do not require a change of Timesheet license key, such as the migration from 7.0 to 7.1. In the future we may also implement this method of upgrade between versions that require a license key change.
