SYSPRO Installer
The SYSPRO Installer lets you install SYSPRO 8 and its required software components. The application establishes what software is already installed and prompts you to install any missing components. InfoZone credentials are used to help manage the software availability and licenses, and download the installation components on-demand.
The SYSPRO Installer is also used to deploy hotfixes (i.e. the minimum software required to provide a solution for a specific problem experienced by one or more customers).
App Version: 1.0.0.31 Release date: 2 August 2019
Exploring
You have concluded the pre-installation steps and are now ready to install SYSPRO 8.
One of the key features of this new deployment methodology is the introduction of Deployment Groups.
A deployment group comprises a complete SYSPRO environment: from the application server, through all the necessary services, to any client machines that connect to the various servers in order to run a specific version of SYSPRO, together with any relevant hotfixes.
Deployment groups examples include:
-
Live environment:
Where SYSPRO is used for every facet of running a business.
-
Test environment:
Where new software is configured and evaluated in order to find the best way of applying it in the live environment.
-
Disaster Recovery environment:
Where the software is configured exactly as it is in the live environment, with backups from the live server restored on a daily basis. This ensures the minimum downtime should the live environment encounter a hardware failure.
-
It's smart
The SYSPRO Installer provides a rich capability of installing a modern ERP product and all it's components in the correct installation sequence.
-
It's up-to-date
Whether you're updating or installing, the SYSPRO Installer always ensures that you get the latest releases.
-
It's flexible
With the ability to setup and manage multiple deployment groups (environments such as Live, Test and Disaster Recovery) all using the same application, the SYSPRO Installer provides you with the flexibility required.
In addition, with the capability of using the Windows Repair and Uninstall capability, you have the power to view and control exactly what state your system is in.
-
It's simple
The application is designed to make the install process as smooth and pain-free as possible for you, and prompts you for all install-time properties in a single user interface.
-
It's proactive
The application verifies your system against all dependencies and prerequisites required for the products you select to install and prompts you on any missing components.
-
It's tiny
The SYSPRO Installer application's download size is just a few MB.
-
It provides visibility to SYSPRO
The power of the application and the deployment methodology permits SYSPRO visibility on each install and thus analyze common installation scenarios to improve the product in the future.
It also allows you to be notified of any mandatory hotfixes that have been published by SYSPRO since you last ran the SYSPRO Installer. This allows us to provide you with the most up-to-date and stable environment, including security updates.
Development
This is the area in which the SYSPRO teams develop the product with enhancements and hotfixes required for the current SYSPRO version.
The following are produced in this area and pushed through to the SYSPRO Azure environment:
- Product install files (MSI)
- Hotfixes (MSP)
- Metadata definition files (XML)
SYSPRO Azure environment
The SYSPRO Azure environment comprises:
- SYSPRO Deployment Database
- SYSPRO Software
- SYSPRO Deployment Service
SYSPRO Deployment Database
This SYSPRO Azure database contains information about all SYSPRO products and hotfixes available.
SYSPRO Software
The MSI, MSP and XML files developed by SYSPRO are available here for download through the deployment service to the SYSPRO Installer app.
SYSPRO Deployment Service
This is the deployment service located in the SYSPRO Azure environment through which all information and files are retrieved and downloaded to the local client environment’s deployment service, and subsequently the SYSPRO Installer app.
The deployment service is installed once per network and must be installed on a discoverable machine that is on 24/7 and which has constant Internet connectivity.
Client environment
The Client environment comprises:
-
Local Deployment Service
This is the local deployment service installed once per network and allows communication from the SYSPRO Azure environment to the client’s local environment.
-
Local Deployment Database
This local deployment database is created when the SYSPRO Installer app is first run and contains a list of all software and files available in the SYSPRO Azure environment.
-
SYSPRO Installer application
The SYSPRO Installer app is used for installing all required deployment groups with the relevant products.
There are a number of installation permutations that you can use. Some of the common scenarios include:
Type of installation | Description |
---|---|
Standalone installation |
The following is installed on the same machine:
This type of installation is typically used for
demonstration and/or development purposes.
|
2-tier installation: Client/Server |
The SYSPRO client software resides on each client machine. The following reside on the server:
|
3-tier installation: Client/Server |
The SYSPRO client software resides on each client machine. The SYSPRO Application Server software resides on the dedicated SYSPRO server, together with the SYSPRO Communications Service (allowing clients to connect). Microsoft SQL Server software and data reside on the dedicated database server. All credentials in this environment must be SQL Server Authentication. Windows Authentication is unable to move credentials across two levels of architecture (i.e. client to server and then server to database server). |
Terminal Server installation |
There are various configurations that could be used for a Terminal Server environment:
|
There are two versions of the SYSPRO Installer application and two corresponding versions of the deployment service:
SYSPRO Installer Application | Deployment Service |
---|---|
SYSPRO Installer |
SYSPRO Deployment Service |
SYSPRO Installer Support |
SYSPRO Deployment Support Service |
The SYSPRO Installer Support App cannot connect to the SYSPRO Deployment Service.
The SYSPRO Installer application allows for the discovery of the SYSPRO Deployment Service (local service) and creates a central database.
If you run the SYSPRO Installer application from multiple machines it should then always find the SYSPRO Deployment Service, and retrieve (or update) information in the central database.
The SYSPRO Installer Support application has no notion of discovery and therefore cannot accidentally find the SYSPRO deployment services as described above.
When using the support version of the application, you will need to enter the endpoint address manually during start up:
-
To locate this endpoint address, open the relevant configuration file and view the baseAddress entry:
C:\Program Files\SYSPRO\SYSPRO Deployment Support Service\SYSPRODeployServiceHost.exe
- Select the Insert default Endpoint icon inside the Endpoint Address text block to populate the block with the current machine DNS name and default Deployment Service SOAP Port.
- Use the SYSPRO Installer application If you want to install SYSPRO 8 at a customer site, on either a Live or Test server (or any other environment/deployment group at a customer site).
- Use the SYSPRO Installer Support application if you are a support person (working at SYSPRO or for a SYSPRO Partner) and you are not installing SYSPRO to use it to run a business, but rather want to:
- Test the SYSPRO 8 install, or
- Conduct multiple installs for various reasons, or
- Develop and verify your custom applications.
After you have applied for SYSPRO 8 you will receive a notification email confirming your registration.
After your registration has been approved and the applicable license generated, you will receive an email with your new SYSPRO 8 license XML file and a link to the SYSPRO Installer application download.
A 6-digit pin is included in your license file and in the email, which will be used when logging into your customer code within the Installer application.
Starting
The following prerequisites are required to run the SYSPRO Installer application:
-
Valid InfoZone login credentials on www.syspro.com.
-
Admin privileges on the computer(s) that will be used.
-
The deployment service is installed once per network and must be installed on a discoverable machine that is on 24/7 and which has constant Internet connectivity.
Please take note of the following important warnings:
-
At any stage during the installation, you may be required to reboot your system to complete the installation.
If there are pending reboots, a Toast Message informing you of this is displayed upon starting the app.
-
When installing hotfixes, the app will stop the following SYSPRO Services in order to prevent any possible problems arising:
-
SYSPRO 8 e.net Communications Load Balancer
This includes any additional SYSPRO 8 e.net Communications Load Balancer services installed.
- SYSPRO 8 Communications Service
- SYSPRO 8 Avanti Initialization Service
Once the hotfixes are installed, the app will try to start the services again.
-
-
A maximum of 127 hotfixes can be installed per release (Microsoft limitation).
Therefore ensure to only install the hotfixes that you require.
-
Hotfixes are only displayed when running the SYSPRO Installer application on the server to which the SYSPRO 8 Server component has been installed.
-
You cannot run the SYSPRO Installer application on a machine for which Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) has been enabled.
Solving
This message is informational, informing you that your change of the port number has been applied.
This message appears when you change the port number under the SYSPRO 8 e.net Communications Load Balancer parameters.
This only applies if you have other products that use this endpoint.
This error is displayed when your selection of hotfixes to install exceeds the Microsoft limit.
A maximum of 127 hotfixes can be installed per release (Microsoft limitation).
Either deselect hotfixes which you may not need, or alternatively select to install a consolidated hotfix which only counts as 1 hotfix but includes a roll-up of previously released hotfixes.
If you select to install a consolidated hotfix, the previously installed hotfixes are uninstalled and your number of hotfixes installed then decreases accordingly.
Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) are a set of standards that describe document processing, encryption algorithms and other information technology standards, where only certain encryption algorithms can be used.
You cannot run the SYSPRO Installer application on a machine for which Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) has been enabled.
This is because the algorithms used in the SYSPRO Installer application are not FIPS compliant.
Upon start up of the SYSPRO Installer, if the app detects that FIPS is enabled in the operating system it will display this error message and cease to continue.
FIPS can be disabled in the registry, or by using the Local Group policies (which sets the registry flag).
This message is displayed if you are using the Support version of the Application and are trying to connect to the Live SYSPRO Deployment Service.
The SYSPRO Installer App cannot connect to SYSPRO Deployment Support Service.
The SYSPRO Installer Support App cannot connect to the SYSPRO Deployment Service.
This message is displayed before the installation of the following SYSPRO Additional Software, if a Windows naming convention is violated:
- Designer Software
- Server-side Software
When unzipping the software's Zip files, the folder structure can have very long file name strings, and it is possible that when unzipping these files that the file name string exceeds the Windows 256 character limit.
Therefore, the SYSPRO Installer verifies if the shared deployment folder string and the unzipped file name string exceeds this 256 character limit.
If a string would exceed the limit, the install process is halted and this message is displayed.
The longest file for both the Service and the Designer is 144 characters.
Removed: |
Direct calls to Encore.dll are no longer available. |
Reason: |
Directly referencing Encore.dll using COM/DCOM limits applications to 32-bit as well as SYSPRO's future expandability. In addition, any third party applications referencing the SYSPRO DLL's directly make it difficult for SYSPRO to easily enhance the system without requiring each third party application to also be changed. Web Services are still supported, so developers who have previously used Web Services will work unchanged.
|
Replaced by: |
Using the SYSPRO 8 e.net Communications Load Balancer service de-couples applications from the e.net 64-bit library and provides excellent scalability and performance. Additional benefits:
|
You can speed up the installation process by copying previously downloaded installation files to a folder that the SYSPRO Installer app can use.
Copy the latest files C:\SYSPRO Deployment\SYSPRO Release\* from a computer which has already downloaded the installs, to the target computer folder with the same name.
SYSPRO ERP needs access to the SYSPRO Deployment Service and the SYSPRO Deployment Service needs access to the internet 24/7 and Microsoft SQL Server.
You don't have to install the deployment service on the SYSPRO application server, but it must be on a machine that is visible to all the SYSPRO machines involved.
Ideally, the machine should have permanent internet access to communicate with Azure.
You have one of two options:
-
Run the SYSPRO Installer app on each client machine to install the SYSPRO client.
-
Use the Export function of the app.
Once you have completed your export, all items exported are downloaded from Azure to the SYSPRO Deployment Shared folder and a text file is created which you can then use for rolling out to your clients.
Each installation file has a corresponding XML file which provides a security checksum that is validated against the install.
If the checksum doesn’t match, the install will not continue until it has been resolved.
In addition, every installation has been digitally signed by SYSPRO from EXEs to MSIs. Therefore, the digital signature is broken as soon as a file is edited and re-saved in any way.
If you want to enable output logging to the debug viewer you need to add a registry entry TraceOn, with a value of true.
You can then retrieve debug logs of what the SYSPRO Installer application is doing, as well as the service, provided they are on the same machine.
If SYSPRO Deployment Server errors are generated, the log file is created in the %temp% folder.
SYSPRO Software is published to the Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN). Downloading software is optimized to obtain software based on point-of-presence (POP).
Benefits include:
-
Software is always current.
-
Local downloads result in faster speed and higher performance.
-
Large file support.
-
Available 24/7.
If one region should fail for any reason, the software is then sourced from another POP.
-
No more DVD installs.
The SYSPRO 8 runtime uses Micro Focus installation software and is therefore listed as Micro Focus COBOL Server within the Program and Features function of your Windows Control Panel application.
If you have multiple application servers for the same site, you have to run the SYSPRO Installer on each machine that has the Application Server installed. This is because hotfixes must be applied directly to the Application Server.
SYSPRO 8 was developed to be installed exclusively on 64-bit client and server operating systems. In addition, the SYSPRO 8 installation application is also only available to run on a 64-bit operating system.
However, there is limited support for SYSPRO 8 Clients running 32-bit operating systems. The 32-bit client can only be installed using the export function in the SYSPRO 8 installation application.
The SYSPRO 8 and 32-bit Client Operating Systems guide covers the steps to be taken to install the SYSPRO 8 Client component on a 32-bit operating system (available from the Install Guides page of the Resources section).
When you request a SYSPRO 8 license, you will receive an email containing the XML license file attachment.
Both of these codes are contained in the license file.
SYSPRO 8 must be installed on a 64-bit server (all the SYSPRO services are now 64-bit).
If the SYSPRO Installer app detects that the machine on which it is setup is renamed, it will attempt to self-heal with an automatic reconfiguration process, in order to update the deployment details.
Ensure that you add or set the COBSW variable to -F on your client and server machine where the SYSPRO runtime is deployed.
-
If you are running the SYSPRO Installer for the first time:
From the Endpoint Address screen, disable the Install service using defaults option.
This enables you to enter the installation parameters and domain credentials required to run the service.
For more information about this process, view the Initial run of SYSPRO Installer section of the Help. -
If you are not running the SYSPRO Installer for the first time:
From the Sign In Page, select the config icon () located in the top right-hand corner.
This enables you to configure the service to use a named user.
For more information about this process, view the Update Deployment Service Credentials section of the Help.
Upgrading is when you move from one version of SYSPRO software to another (e.g. from SYSPRO 7 Update 1 to SYSPRO 8).
Updating is when you move from one release of the current software to a later release (e.g. from SYSPRO 8 2018 R2 to SYSPRO 8 2019 R1)
When you upgrade from SYSPRO 7 Update 1 to SYSPRO 8 (using the SYSPRO Installer app) the process is as follows:
-
SYSPRO 7 Update 1 installation files are removed.
There may be some files left behind after this process because of new files added through ports, or third party developer files. -
The SYSPRO 8 installation process checks whether there are any remaining legacy files.
If any are found, they are moved to a newly-created archived folder (Archived_SYSPRO7Files).
-
The following folders are added to the archived folder in the SYSPRO 8 install location:
- \Programs
- \Screens
- \Base\Bin
- \Base\UI
Yes, you can.
The only difference is during your SQL Configuration when running the SYSPRO Installer app for the first time.
At the SQL Server Name field, ensure that you enter the full instance name (e.g. INSTANCENAME\SQLEXPRESS).
You can check this entry if you run SQL Server Management Studio and view the instance to which you are logging in.
The following SQL Server users must exist prior to using the SYSPRO Installer application, with the appropriate permissions enabled:
User type | Rules |
---|---|
Administration SQL user |
|
Standard SQL user |
|
Possible scenarios for requiring a reset of your SQL Server credentials include:
- You can't log into SYSPRO because of a SQL Server credential error (e.g. password expired).
- You are in a support environment and have been supplied with a database that you cannot access, possibly due to not having the SQL password.
From SYSPRO 8, you can reset your SQL Server credentials:
- Open IMPACT.INI (located in the WORK folder) using an editor application such as Notepad.
-
Change the SQLADM entry to SQLADM=[reset] or change the SQLSTD entry to SQLSTD=[reset]
Changing either entry enables you to reset the password for both accounts. The word 'reset' is not case sensitive.
-
Save the file and log into SYSPRO.
You will be prompted to enter a new SQL Server user name and password for both the administrative and standard logins.
Use the SQL Server Credentials function within the app.
For more information on this, view the help section Updating SQL Server Credentials, located under Configuring the app.
When the SYSPRO Deployment Service is installed, ports 30250 (Endpoint port) and 3702 (Endpoint discovery) are enabled on the Windows firewall.
If you have additional firewall software, you need to open these ports within the software to enable the SYSPRO Installer app to function.
For sites with proxy servers, the following URLs must be open for the SYSPRO Deployment Service to retrieve software and communicate with the SYSPRO Azure service:
- SYSPRO 8 downloads (from Microsoft Azure CDN): https://syspro8install.azureedge.net/*
- Azure service calls: https://sysprodeploymentazlive.azurewebsites.net/*
- InfoZone : https://izauthservicedev.syspro.com/*
The SYSPRO Deployment Service provides support to be discoverable at runtime. Therefore, for WCF Discovery to work correctly, all NICs (Network Interface Controller) should only have one IP address.
Ports that must be open:
-
UDP discovery: Port 3702
-
Default listening endpoint: Port 30250
This is the port to which the service responds.
You can always manually enter the endpoint if discovery is not enabled.
Within the Hotfix Selection screen, you can search for a specific hotfix by any of the following:
- Enter the full KB number (e.g. KB8000006)
- Enter the last digits (e.g. 06) into the search box
- Enter any full text related to the hotfix (e.g. Ledger Query)
This will show Mandatory Hotfixes and Optional Hotfixes.
There could be a large number of hotfixes available - many of which are not relevant to your site or how you use the software. You would, therefore only use this function if you suspect a problem with your current SYSPRO software and want to establish whether an applicable hotfix is available, or you have received an Optional Hotfix to install.
A hotfix KB article contains information about the software included in the hotfix, as well as a summary of the problems addressed.
You can access these by selecting the More button against the hotfix on the Hotfix selection screen.
If there is no Mandatory Hotfix/Optional Hotfix available for your customer code, but the HOTFIXES button is still displayed on the deployment group home page, then the application has detected that there are additional Optional Hotfixes available for you to view and optionally select.
Yes, in the unlikely event that a deployed hotfix contains a flaw that may result in more damage than it was trying to repair, you can uninstall the hotfix.
The system is able to revert affected programs to a state prior to the deployment of the faulty hotfix.
If you have multiple application servers for the same site, you have to run the SYSPRO Installer on each machine that has the Application Server installed. This is because hotfixes must be applied directly to the Application Server.
Although the hotfix notification button is visible to all users, it is only enabled for operators belonging to a group with system administrator privileges.
This button shows the Mandatory or Optional Hotfixes recorded against your customer code, which have not yet been installed.
A maximum of 127 hotfixes can be installed per release (Microsoft limitation).
Therefore ensure to only install the hotfixes that you require.
When using the SYSPRO Installer application, a consolidated hotfix is clearly indicated with the following phrase appended to its name: ** Consolidated **.
The synopsis will explain the hotfixes that have been included and summarizes how this roll-up and install works.
One of the best things about the hotfix technology in SYSPRO 8 is that if, for any reason, you wish to uninstall a hotfix, the software is restored back to what it was prior to the hotfix being installed.
The same happens if you were to uninstall a consolidated hotfix. The software will revert to just the previously installed hotfixes.
When you select to install a language pack, the language file is deployed to the same folder where the SYSPRO.EXE resides (\Base).
You can install as many of the available language packs as you require.
Using
When you launch the SYSPRO Installer, it checks your registry to detect if there is a saved endpoint address for the SYSPRO Deployment Service:
- If the application finds an address entry in your registry, it uses this to find the SYSPRO Deployment Service at that address.
-
If a registry entry is not found, the application performs discovery for the SYSPRO Deployment Service.
If the service is found, the application writes this address to your registry and continues.
This discovery phase is not performed when using the support version of the application (SYSPRO Installer Support). Instead, you are taken directly to the Endpoint Address screen. - If the SYSPRO Deployment Service is not discovered:
The app checks whether the service has been installed on your machine.
If the service is installed, and discovery failed, it could be that the service is not running.
If the deployment service is not installed, a link is provided to allow you to download the service.
The deployment service setup installation file is automatically downloaded from Azure and installed on your machine.
- Once the deployment service is installed, the application verifies the connecting endpoint.
- Once the deployment service is discovered, it is silently installed in the background by default.
The Endpoint Address screen is only displayed if the SYSPRO Deployment Service has never been installed on your machine.
If no download link is displayed, then the service is installed, but may not be currently running.
Select the Insert default Endpoint icon inside the Endpoint Address text block to populate the block with the current machine DNS name and default Deployment Service SOAP Port.
If your Endpoint Address field is still blank, select the Check Endpoint option to start discovery for the service again. This is useful if your deployment service has been restarted.
When using the support version of the application, you will need to enter the endpoint address manually during start up:
-
To locate this endpoint address, open the relevant configuration file and view the baseAddress entry:
C:\Program Files\SYSPRO\SYSPRO Deployment Support Service\SYSPRODeployServiceHost.exe
- Select the Insert default Endpoint icon inside the Endpoint Address text block to populate the block with the current machine DNS name and default Deployment Service SOAP Port.
Install service using defaults option
The Install service using defaults option enables you to decide how to install the service.
This option is enabled by default and (if left enabled) results in the Deployment service being downloaded and installed silently to a default location on your C: drive.
If you disable this option, the Deployment service will download and you can select how and where you want to install the service.
When the option is disabled, the following screen will allow you to enter the installation parameters and domain credentials required to run the service:
You would typically disable this option in one of the following situations:
- You want to run the SYSPRO Deployment Service as a specific user.
- You want to change the installation options for the SYSPRO Deployment Service.
Once a connection is made to the SYSPRO Deployment Service, you need to login using your InfoZone credentials.
A valid InfoZone account is required to continue.
Enable the Save Customer Details checkbox option if you want the app to save your Customer Code and Customer PIN when logging in.
If you are not listed as a customer on the InfoZone (i.e. you are a Partner or Super-user) an additional screen is displayed for you to enter the relevant customer code for the customer you want to install.
Partners and Super-users
The Customer ID defaults to the customer code defined within your InfoZone profile, and must match the SYSPRO account you are installing.
The Customer PIN is the 6-digit code included in the email you received that contained your SYSPRO 8 license.
You can verify your customer ID and PIN against the CustomerId and CustomerPin elements of the license XML file.
The SYSPRO Installer application requires access to a SQL Server Instance on your network.
The application uses this SQL instance from now onwards to download and record your installation preferences and configuration; including information about your deployment groups, software component versions and installed hotfixes.
Capturing requirements
You are required to set up your SQL authentication and the name of the SQL Server which will store the SYSPRO Deployment database.
Field | Description |
---|---|
SQL Server Name |
This entry defaults to the DNS name of the current machine.
If you are using SQL Express, ensure that you enter the correct and full instance name (e.g. INSTANCENAME\SQLEXPRESS).
You can check this entry if you run SQL Server Management Studio and view the instance to which you are logging in. |
SQL Login |
Enter your SQL Server login credentials. |
SQL Password |
Enter your SQL Server password credentials. |
SYSPRO Deployment Downloads |
This folder is the physical location to which all software components and hotfixes are downloaded, and subsequently run from during each installation process. All downloads, being either the Parameter XML files or the actual install files are downloaded here and stored in the Release subfolder. The entry defaults to C:\SYSPRO Deployment, but can be changed if required. However, once the folder name is set during this stage of the app, please ensure that no changes are made to the folder name, location, contents or structure. Any subsequent change to the folder will result in checksum errors and the app not being able to download any files. A share is created for this folder that must be available to the network.
|
Background processes
At this point, the application checks Azure to determine which products are available, as well as which available hotfixes are relevant for your company.
The application proceeds to configure an on-premise database and downloads the relevant XML definition files and runtime components from Azure (for later use during the install).
The SYSPRO Installer app is used to update the software from one release to another.
If there is an existing and configured deployment group on the current machine, the application will verify if there is a newer release available.
If applicable, an Update button is displayed on the deployment group screen against the relevant group.
Select the Update button to begin the process of updating your deployment group to the new release. A text file is output to the current folder (SYSPRO_Deployment_Release_Update.txt) which provides details about the machines belonging to the group, as well as the software installed on each of those machines.
The group will remain with the update listed as in progress until such time as all machines in the group have been updated.
For each deployment group, you should apply the following steps:
Run the SYSPRO Installer app on the SYSPRO application server.
Once a connection is made to the SYSPRO Deployment Service, you need to login using your InfoZone credentials.
A valid InfoZone account is required to continue.
Enable the Save Customer Details checkbox option if you want the app to save your Customer Code and Customer PIN when logging in.
If you are not listed as a customer on the InfoZone (i.e. you are a Partner or Super-user) an additional screen is displayed for you to enter the relevant customer code for the customer you want to install.
Partners and Super-users
The Customer ID defaults to the customer code defined within your InfoZone profile, and must match the SYSPRO account you are installing.
The Customer PIN is the 6-digit code included in the email you received that contained your SYSPRO 8 license.
You can verify your customer ID and PIN against the CustomerId and CustomerPin elements of the license XML file.
- From the Deployment Groups home screen, identify the deployment group that you want to update.
-
Select the Update button.
An informational message is shown confirming you want to start the update process.
You will be presented with a list of available later releases.
-
Select the latest or relevant release.
The deployment group will then reflect as Update in Progress.
A list of components to be updated will be displayed. This defaults to showing all the existing components.
- Select Continue.
Upon completion of the update, identify whether you have additional servers as part of your deployment group.
If there are additional servers to update, then when you run the SYSPRO Installer app it will show that the update is in progress.
For example:
- Run the SYSPRO Installer app on the relevant server.
- Against the deployment group, click Select.
-
Continue with the installation steps and start the update process.
In most cases the updates will be relatively quick.
Upon completion of updating all servers in the deployment group, the version of the deployment group will reflect as the new version.
You should now be ready to start using SYSPRO 8.
This task explains how to update your deployment service credentials in order to run the SYSPRO Deployment Service as a specific user.
From the SYSPRO Deployment Service screen you can action either of the following requirements:
-
Select to run the SYSPRO Deployment Service as a specific user.
-
Revert running the SYSPRO Deployment Service as a specific user.
-

This task explains how to change the Customer ID that has been used for the install.
For this type of change, we recommended that you run the app on the machine that the SYSPRO Deployment Service is currently running on.
If you have other machines on site, you will have to run the SYSPRO Installer app on those machines to change the registry entries.
Log in to the application using your InfoZone credentials.
If you are not listed as a customer on the InfoZone (i.e. you are a Partner or Super-user) an additional screen is displayed for you to enter the relevant customer code for the customer you want to install.
Partners and Super-users
The Customer ID defaults to the customer code defined within your InfoZone profile, and must match the SYSPRO account you are installing.
The Customer PIN is the 6-digit code included in the email you received that contained your SYSPRO 8 license.
You can verify your customer ID and PIN against the CustomerId and CustomerPin elements of the license XML file.
From the Sign in screen, select the config icon () located in the top right-hand corner.
If the SYSPRO Installer app detects that the machine on which it is setup is renamed, it will attempt to self-heal with the following automatic process in order to update the deployment details:
-
When the SYSPRO Deployment Service starts up, it compares the current machine name with that of the computer name saved under the deployment app in the registry (which is taken from the Endpoint details).
If the machine names differ, a machine name reconfiguration process is automatically launched.
-
The system then makes the required changes to the relevant registry entries for the SYSPRO Installer Deployment and SYSPRO products.
-
Once the registry changes are complete, the system then makes the required changes to the SYSPRO product configuration files.
-
Once the configuration file changes are complete, the system then makes the required changes to the deployment database.
-
Once the deployment database changes are complete, the system then makes the required additional SYSPRO changes in the IMPACT.INI file:
The SQLSTD entry is changed to be [RESET], so when you next login to SYSPRO, you are prompted to update the SQL Server credentials for your SYSPRO installation.
-
Once all configuration changes have concluded, your machine is rebooted for the changes to take effect.
All changes made are logged to the SYSPROUtilityLog_YYYYMMDD.txt file that is saved to the /Deployment/Logs folder.
-
After rebooting and the SYSPRO Installer app is launched, the app checks to ensure that the rename process has completed. It then displays a window with feedback on the process.
You can choose to view the log files created by selecting the Show Log File checkbox.
Once a connection is made to the SYSPRO Deployment Service, you need to login using your InfoZone credentials.
A valid InfoZone account is required to continue.
Enable the Save Customer Details checkbox option if you want the app to save your Customer Code and Customer PIN when logging in.
If you are not listed as a customer on the InfoZone (i.e. you are a Partner or Super-user) an additional screen is displayed for you to enter the relevant customer code for the customer you want to install.

The Utilities panel enables you to export a machine or deployment group's details in order to clone the machine / deployment group.
This is useful in a scenario where you have a created and configured a test machine that has been approved and now needs to be replicated on a live machine.
This functionality requires 2 steps:
-
Export Machine Details
During the export process, the following files are created:
-
A text file that you can use as a record of what is installed for a given deployment group / machine.
You can then use this to run a comparison against 2 different configurations, using a program such as WinMerge.
-
A JSON file that can be used to create a clone of the deployment group / machine.
-
-
Clone Machine
There are two different methods for creating a clone:
-
On the same network.
The SYSPRO Installer app is used to select a configured deployment group and the machine that has the install on it.
-
On a different network.
The JSON export file is used to create the clone.
-
-
You must have access to the deployment group and machine that you want to export details for (i.e. you must be on the same network).
-
You can run the app from any machine that has access to the SYSPRO Deployment Service in order to use the export function.
-
This functionality is based on a deployment group per machine basis, therefore you can only export or clone the details of a single deployment group on a single machine.
-
No parameters are exported or used in the cloned machine, as all parameters need to be validated on the new machine.
-
No Additional Load Balancer services are installed during the cloning process.
