Migrating from 6.9.9 to 7.x


This section explains how to migrate OfficeClip from version 6.9.9 to 7.x

Prerequisites

You must have 6.9.9 installed on your machine. The machine should have enough space to install version 7.x (please see the system requirements
in the OfficeClip Download Page)

Migration Instructions

  1. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and look for OfficeClip 7.x version installation. If you find version 7.0.3 or higher, skip to step 5 otherwise if you find version 7.0.2, 7.0.1 or 7.0.0 remove it (To see the exact version Click on the support information link of the program in the Add/Remove program window)
  2. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Software and look and for Microsoft Sql Server Express. If found, click on Remove. Now look for any instance called OfficeClip (keep OFFICECLIP7 if it exists) and remove it. Note: Cancel out if you do not find the OFFICECLIP instance there.
  3. Remove all files in folder c:\program files\officeclip\7\* (if found).
  4. Download and install OfficeClip 7.x on the same machine from OfficeClip Download Page.
  5. Run c:\program files\officeclip\7\OfficeClip.Install.OcDbUpgrader.exe.
  6. It should do everything for you. Please be patient as this may take a long time. If the operation is unsuccessful, please see below under heading Error Handling.
  7. Run iisreset from the command prompt.
  8. Log into OfficeClip 7.x with the same login as in the old OfficeClip 6.9.9 version. if you cannot login, it will take you to a license request screen. Go ahead and request a new license and then follow the instructions on the screen (note that you will now need to copy the downloaded license file in the old officeclip upload folder c:\program files\officeclip\officeclip\upload)
  9. Go to Setup (toolbar) -> Manage Site Privileges and Application -> Manage Site Application Access and make sure that the applications you need are enabled.
  10. Go to Setup (toolbar) -> Manage Organization Roles and Privilege -> Manage Organization Privileges and make sure that your organization has access to all applications.
  11. Test some functions and make sure all the previous data is restored and all the screens are working correctly.

Remove OfficeClip 6.9.9

This operation should be done only after you have successfully migrated your software to 7.x version. It will not be possible to recover the old version after this operation.
  1. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and remove OfficeClip 6.9.9
  2. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs and remove Microsoft SQL Server desktop Engine (OFFICECLIP)
  3. Now back up the files in c:\program files\officeclip\data folder and remove them. Note that if you were using Sql Server 2000, then you do not have to do steps 2 and 3.

Reverting back to OfficeClip 6.9.9

If the migration fails you may want to get back to your existing OfficeClip 6.9.9 version.
  1. Go to Control Panel -> Administrator Tools -> Internet Services Manager and expand your machine name from the left. Next expand "Default Web Site" on the left.
  2. Locate OfficeClip and click the right mouse button on it and select properties
  3. Change the local path to C:\Program Files\OfficeClip\OfficeClip.
  4. Click on the ASP.NET tab and change the ASP.NET version to 1.1
  5. Now you will be able to use the old officeclip from the old url http://machine-name/officeclip/indexen.html. Also note that if you changed any information after reverting back to old officeclip, you will have to repeat the "Migration Instructions" given above if you want to move to 7.x again.

Error Handling

The migration program can give errors when executing. In this case follow the instructions below:
  1. Locate the log file in the c:\program files\officeclip\7\log folder. These files are named by date and time so you should be able to find it easily. These are html files so you can see them easily on the browser.
  2. If you find something obvious you can fix, go ahead and do it and then start from Step 5 of "Migration Instructions" above. if not please zip the file, and send to OfficeClip.
