Wachdoc / WSC - Update Watchdoc and WSC in v. 6.1.1

  • A licence update is mandatory for the v. 6.1.x.

  • For versions 5.4 and 5.5, a database update and data migration are required (to v 6.0).

  • For versions prior to v. 5.4, two database updates and two data migrations are required (to 5.4 and then to 6.0).

  • When Watchdoc is in domain mode (master/slaves configuration), an update of the other servers (slaves) is required after the master server has been updated.

  • When Watchdoc is installed in remote mode (different Watchdoc and IIS servers, not recommended), a backup of the prior web server is required until the update is complete. It may also be useful to keep this backup in case it is necessary to restore the previous version.
