Run Update Script

In some cases, when you update your Projetex Server Administrator or Projetex Workstation, the database needs be updated as well. Usually the database version is automatically updated during Projetex Server setup, however there may be exceptions. In this case, database can still be updated manually by running a database update script.

Update scripts are always installed together with the Projetex Server Administrator and can be found in the C:\Program Files\AIT\Projetex 3D\Projetex Server\DBUpdates\ folder in the form of .PTU files.

To update the database using a database update script:

1. Turn your database offline by clicking the Go Offline button.

2. Click the Run Update Script button from the Database tab of the Projetex Server Administrator.

3. Locate the script which updates your current database version to the next version. The current database version is displayed in the Database Version: string. Repeat the update operation until you have the most current database version.

Example:

The installed database version is 8.91.0 and the software update requires version 8.93.0. In this case you need to consecutively run two updates (first dbx91to92.ptu and then dbx92to93.ptu). Update files are not necessarily updating from the one number to the next.

Note: The Projetex Server Administrator performs an automatic backup before each database update operation, for maximum security of data in case anything goes wrong during the update.
