Overview

You must be administrator of the web server. You must know:

  • The physical path on the web server where WorkflowGen web application is installed.

  • The physical path on the web server where WorkflowGen Windows Services are installed.

  • The URL of the web server where WorkflowGen is installed.

  • MS SQL Server database:

    • The name of the MS SQL server.

    • The credentials of the SA account.

    • The file path of the SQL server database files on the SQL server machine.

You'll need to perform the following actions:

  • Update the web application files.

  • Update the Windows Services files.

  • Update the web configuration file.

  • Update the Directory Synchronization and Engine Service files, and move the XMLTODATABASE transaction file.

  • Update the database structure and contents.

Request new license files and serial numbers

If you're upgrading from WorkflowGen version 5, you must request a new license (trial, unlimited, or per user) and a new serial number for each of your WorkflowGen servers.

  • The new license file must be copied to the \wfgen\bin folder.

  • Define the new serial number in the \wfgen\web.config file (e.g. <add key="ApplicationSerialNumber" value="WFG-ENT-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX" />).

Be sure to back up your previous license file and serial number.
