 IRis 3.0 Updates and Workstation setup Update 

We have two updates on our web site: 

The first one is  IRis 30 Updates. These updates are to handle any issues plus adding new features to IRis 3.0

The other one is Workstation Setup Update (if you have a Multi User site license). This one you will download only when you have a problem while setting up a workstation. Once the workstation setup is ready, you don't have to worry about this one.

Updating IRis is pretty much a simple procedure, and you should do it on a regular basis, let's say 1-2 a month. All updates are cumulative, that means once you download the last update it will also include all the previous updates, so don’t worry if you miss any updates.

IRis 3.0 Updates

1.    Go to IRis 3.0 – Help – Online updates.

2.    Click on "IRis 30 update download" link. This link will also say the date of  the most recent update.

3.    Download the update file called "Updatewizard" into a folder that you can name for instance "IRisUpdates".

4.    Make sure everyone is out of IRis and you have a full backup before running the steps below!

a)     Select the Windows Start button, then select Run.

b)      Browse to the IRisUpdates folder.

c)      Select the file “Updatewizard” you downloaded  and click on Open.

d)      Select OK to run the executable file.

e)      The update wizard will ask you where your IRis 3.0 files are located. Select the appropriate location. If you have a multi-user version, IRis 30 folder will be located on your server.

f)         When the update wizard is finished your update is complete.  If you have a multi-user version of IRis, you do not need to update every workstation, only the main IRis folder located on your server. Once you update the main IRis folder, IRis will automatically update every workstation for you.

Workstation Setup Update (only if you have a problem setting up a workstation and are a Multi User) 

5.    Go to IRis 3.0 – Help – Online updates

6.    Click on “Workstation Setup Update” link

7.    Save “Wksetup” file to the IRis 3.0 directory located on the SERVER. IRis will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing Wksetup file, click YES. 

a)     Run the Workstation Setup using the IRis installation instructions (Locate and run “Wksetup” file from your workstation).

b)      You may be asked to locate the executable file “IRis30.exe” on the server. If so, locate the “IRis30.exe” on the SERVER where IRis 3.0 was installed.
NOTE: If you have already ran the Workstation Setup before doing this update make sure to uninstall IRis 3.0 from the workstation before running the update. 

      

#1 Tech Tip

Q We just bought a new server. What is the best way to move IRis from the existing server to the new one?

A With IRis 2.3, all you need to do (after setting up the new server) is: Go to the IRis folder on the old server, R-click on it, select Copy, navigate to the correct drive on the new server, R-click and choose Paste.
