CAUTION:

Do not upgrade the database until you have completed the following steps. Later in this process, you need to access the database using the old Configuration executable. If you upgrade the database, you can no longer log into the database using the old Configuration executable.

Upgrading your version of OnBase is not part of the password change process. However, when you change the passwords of OnBase database user names, you are required to take additional steps when it is time to upgrade your OnBase solution. This is because the passwords stored in your new OnBase files do not match the passwords stored in your OnBase database. Your upgraded OnBase solution will not function until you change the passwords stored in your new OnBase files to match the passwords stored in your OnBase database.

To change database passwords in the upgraded executables and DLLs:

  1. Create a new folder and copy the old version of the OnBase Configuration executable into the folder. For example, your new folder may have a file path such as C:\Program Files\Hyland\ConfigOld.
    Note:

    You only need to perform this step on the workstation that will be used to change passwords. After the passwords are changed, the new files can be copied to other user workstations, as long as those workstations are using the same version of OnBase.

  2. Install the new version of OnBase on all of the workstations, including the workstation that will be used to change the passwords in the upgraded executables.
    CAUTION:

    Do not upgrade the database until you have completed all of the steps in this procedure. You need to access the database using the old Configuration executable. If you upgrade the database, you can no longer log into the database using the old Configuration executable.

  3. Log on to the Configuration module using the old OnBase Configuration executable.
  4. Perform the steps in Changing Database User Name Passwords, ensuring that you:

    • Rotate the upgraded OnBase Client and Configuration executables, as well as the upgraded Hyland.Core.GrabIcon.dll, dmcore.dll, and OBCorePlatMgmt.dll if necessary.

    • Change the HSI, HSICORE, HSINET, and Viewer database passwords as necessary.

  5. Perform the steps in Deploying Newly Created Database User Name Passwords, making sure you replace the executables and DLLs on your workstation with the new executables and DLLs. You can then deploy the passwords to any number of workstations, as long as those workstations have upgraded to the same version of OnBase.
