Upgrading iMIS EMS (20.3) On-Premise

Once you have an instance of iMIS EMS (20.3) on premise, you will have access to quarterly upgrades provided by ASI.

The following information details how to upgrade an on-premise iMIS database from one version of 20.3 to another (20.3.xxx to 20.3.xxx).

Do the following to upgrade iMIS:

1. Take a backup of the DB.

2. Run the installer:

   • Copy the installer to the app server.

   • Right-click the Setup.exe and click Run as administrator.

   • Select Install a new instance, then click Next.

   • Select the current instance you are upgrading, then select Upgrade Existing.

     

3. Click Install. The installer takes about 15 minutes to complete. This part of the installation is installing the actual version of iMIS (the upgrade has not started at this point).

4. After the installation is complete, click Finish. The iMISservice page will load once complete and will signify the upgrade has started. From this step, the DB upgrade can take hours to fully complete; the time varies depending on the size of the database.
