SA-SAMS Update Process Steps
- Always patch your SA-SAMS Program and Database(s) in sequentially increasing order. (See bottom of page of all version numbers, and the dates they were released)
- This means do no for example patch a database that is at Version 22.2.0 directly with the patch file for Version 23.1.0
- Steps to safely upgrade old versions of SA-SAMS
- Upgrading from Version 22.2.0 to Version 22.2.2 as example:
- Make a backup of your Version 22.2.0 Database.
- Upgrade your SA-SAMS Version to 22.2.1. with the patch file.
- Open your database (not the backup one) with SA-SAMS – which will upgrade the database file to 22.2.1.
- Create another separate backup of this updated Version 22.2.1 Database.
- Then install the patch update for Version 22.2.2.
- Open the database with SA-SAMS – which will upgrade the database to Version 22.2.2.
- Make another separate backup.
- This methodology allows one to always “roll back” if a patch fails and corrupts data.
