Server/POS Pre-update Checklist
Here are some questions that should be answered before deciding if we are ready to update the client's unit.
- Client Should be informed and agree to the following:
- branches updated and others that are not will not be syncing with each other. This goes with the POS too
- the client should not turn off the computer while patching, this will cause issues in the data. We will leave a note on the desktop of the server once the update is done.
- does the client have any customized software or any AV branch?
- Web system
- POS
- Autosync
- Database
- Data collector
- C500
- Android
- Is the client using the data collector? Does their customization require additional changes before being updated?
- How can we move the settings for their current system to the new and updated one?
- Are all the POS computer names updated already?
- Are there any special cases that the devs should be aware of when updating the client? e.g. The manual sync of unirich's main branch is installed in a separate office computer because there is an issue with the server.
- is the client going to be updated as GIT or not?
- Clients should be informed that all POS whether for peak season or regularly used should be updated on their schedule and can't be accommodated in december.
- should we install both the V4 and the v5 autosync at the same time?
- Documentation:
- are all the POS and servers in the teamviewer and logmein list?
- are already non-existing hardware removed from the list?
- are the list of branches and terminals in port 82 complete and accurate?
