Upgrading a Multi db, Mobile users | Honeywell K14392V1 instruction

System Administrator’s Guide

Fig. 14–6. Options for Generating a MinAdmin Multi Db Template.

You can produce *.DAT files for MinAdmin users. Use of the .DAT file and the template is discussed in the MinAdmin User Guide.

Upgrading a Multi db

Tip

Upgrades from v4 to v5 are automatic

You don’t have to know what version of Multi software you are upgrading, only that a message appears for upgrades from earlier versions of v2 or v3 software, as explained in the next procedure.

Downgrading a Multi db is not supported.

Upgrading a Local Database

Tip

Purpose of a local database

When View runs, it uses a partial copy of the Multi db. The copy is stored on the PC’s drive. The local database can be updated (refreshed) if the PC running View is connected to the Multi db.

A local database is upgraded automatically when the user of View has an open connection to the Multi db. If the connection is not available (laptop PCs, temporary setups and so on), use the information in this section.

Mobile users

You can upgrade View‘s local db without connecting to the Multi db.
