About updating Saperion ELM
- Permissions defined in Archive Web must be migrated to the centralized permissions database when updating to ELM 6.3 or higher. The migration occurs automatically with the first login to the Archive Web application. You should log in right after the ELM server was updated on each web server hosting the Archive Web application.
- Beginning with ELM version 6.2, Public Folder access must be configured again for each imported MS Exchange server, as the global public folder owner settings were moved to server level when updating from versions before 6.2.
- Scheduler configuration for public folders must be updated with the update tool included in the ELM server setup. It is crucial to perform the update with the application. Refer to the manual when updating from versions before 6.2.
- When updating to version 6.0, make sure that you have installed .NET 2.0 SP2 and .NET 4.0.
- After updating to 5.5 or higher, make sure that your ELM DDC contains a SYSROWID
column with a value. Without this column, there may be problems when
reading/writing using the Saperion Classic Connector.Use the SQL statement
appropriate for your server:
- SQL Server UPDATE ELM SET SYSROWID = Replace(NEWID(),'-'")+'000000000000' WHERE SYSROWID IS NULL
- Oracle UPDATE ELM SET SYSROWID = SYSGUID() || '000000000000' WHERE
SYSROWID IS NULL Note: Depending on the number of records in your database, the SQL command may need several minutes to run.
- When multiple ELM products are present on the same server, or use the same components in a distributed architecture, all products have to be updated to the same version number (version 6.0 and higher).
- If you are installing ELM on a computer with Microsoft SharePoint installed (any version), the ELM web applications will be installed to different ports (9981 for web services, 7781 for Archive Web). Include the port number when you configure access to the archive and retrieve servers.
- If you are installing ELM on a computer with a BlackBerry server installed (any version), note that ELM requires Outlook, while BlackBerry requires Exchange MAPI. These components cannot coexist on the same computer. Contact Saperion support regarding update possibilities.
- After installation, ensure that the MCSWS handler mapping is configured as follows:> Apply to ‘*.*’> Apply to files and folders.> On IIS 7, the application pool must be set to “Integrated” Managed Pipeline Mode.More details are included in the documentation.
- On IIS 7: make sure that the ISAPI and CGI restrictions allow ASP .NET v4 for both x86 and x64 platforms.
Update from version 5.x
A direct update to 6.x is possible once all software prerequisites are fulfilled.
Update from older versions
