Service Pack and Hotfix Information
1013588 List of Changes for Laserfiche 9.2 Service Pack 1.
Installation Information
Laserfiche 9.2 is available on the Support Site in two packages: Avante and Rio. Team and United customers should use the Avante 9.2 installation package.
Rio 9.2 includes Laserfiche Directory Server 9.2, a new license management server for Laserfiche Rio that replaces License Manager 8. See Knowledge Base article 1013536 for information on new features.
The installation process works best when run from local media. Certain aspects of the installation wizard may not function correctly when run directly from a network drive or file share. For example, the installation may not automatically resume following a reboot after installing the setup prerequisites; you must manually restart the installation. Or you may be unable to assign a domain account during the service configuration step of the installation.
Upgrading from Laserfiche 9.1.x
Laserfiche 9.2 no longer supports SQL Server 2000. If you are currently using SQL Server 2000 to host a Laserfiche repository, you must move to a SQL Server 2005 or later database before upgrading Laserfiche Server to version 9.2.
Upgrading from Laserfiche 9.0.x
After installing Laserfiche Server 9.2, the Server will be able to automatically update the database for you. This update process will happen the first time the Laserfiche Server attempts to load a Laserfiche 9.0.x repository. The update process happens behind the scenes, and does not require any user input. It is performed in-place, and does not create a new database. When the update is complete, your repository will be compatible with the Laserfiche 9.2 Server.
Note: With large databases, the automatic schema update may some time. Be aware that your laserfiche repository will be inaccessible during this process even though the Laserfiche Server service is running. Check the Windows Event Log to see when the process is complete.
Important: This update occurs in-place and does not create a new database. Therefore, you should ensure that you have a working backup before installing the Laserfiche 9.2 Server or registering your Laserfiche 9.0/9.1 repository to it.
Once you have finished installing Laserfiche Server 9.2, you will also need to update your search catalog.
Upgrading from Laserfiche 8
If you have a Laserfiche repository of version 8.0.x through 8.3.x, you do not need to perform a full migration to upgrade to Laserfiche 9. Instead, once you have upgraded your Server installation to Laserfiche 9, the Server will be able to automatically update the database for you. This update process will happen the first time the Laserfiche Server 9 attempts to load a Laserfiche 8.0.x-8.3.x repository. The update process happens behind the scenes, and does not require any user input. It is performed in-place, and does not create a new database. When the update is complete, your repository will be compatible with the Laserfiche 9 Server.
Important: This update occurs in-place and does not create a new database. Therefore, you should ensure that you have a working backup before installing the Laserfiche 9 Server or registering your Laserfiche 8 repository to it.
Once you have finished installing Laserfiche Server 9, you will also need to update your search catalog. During the Laserfiche Server 9 installation process, you will be prompted to update your Laserfiche 8.x search catalog files. All other Laserfiche products, including the Laserfiche Client, Client components, and Web Access, will be updated in place when you install the 9.x versions of those applications.
