Windows - Download and Install Updates for the Server and the Integrated Portal Manager

General Information About the Updates

With the " Intrexx Steady Track," you'll receive regular updates with new features for Intrexx at relatively short intervals. With every update, Intrexx undergoes a version change.

Continue working without interruption while downloading

While an update is downloading, you can continue working in Intrexx.

(During the installation of the update, the Intrexx services will be stopped and then restarted.) (This means that your portal will be unavailable while the update is being installed.)

Update Notifications

A notification will appear in the lower-right corner of the Intrexx window informing you that an update is available and can be installed.

Internet connection

You must be connected to the Internet while downloading the update.

No Internet connection

You can perform a software update even if your Intrexx server does not have an Internet connection.

In that case, please download the latest Intrexx setup. (This includes all the latest updates.) You can find it in the download section of Intrexx Support Center after you have successfully logged in.

The setup is the same setup or installation package that is also used for a new installation. In other words, there is no separate, downloadable software package for Intrexx that contains only the files needed for an update.

Next, copy the setup files to the Intrexx server and extract them there.

Run the setup as you would for a new installation. (For more information, see, among other things, the section Linux - Installing Intrexx.")

"Overwrite" your existing Intrexx instance. To do this, select the directory where you installed Intrexx in the "Installation Path" dialog box.

Then follow the installation wizard.

Run the update

Step-by-Step

To download and install an update, follow these steps:

1. Start the Portal Manager (Server) as an administrator.

   If an update is available, you will see a notification in the lower-right corner of the Intrexx window.

   

   You can also manually check for updates at any time.

   To do this, click "Tools > Check for Software Updates...".

2. Click "Start Download."

   

   The Intrexx Download Manager will start.

   It downloads the files required for the update.

   

   During the first update, synchronization with the update server may take a little longer because a full synchronization with the update server is performed.

   In future updates, only the files that differ between the update server and your local installation will be downloaded. The update will only take a short time.

   Once all the required files have been downloaded, the "Finish" button becomes active.

   

3. Click "Finish."

   The dialog box for starting the installation appears.

   

   Install Updates

   Click the "Install Updates" button to install the downloaded update.

   During installation, the Intrexx services are stopped and then restarted.

   Click the "Open Changelog" button to view the new features and other changes in the current version in the online help.

4. Click "Install Updates."

   This process verifies whether the files were downloaded completely and without errors.

7. Click "Next."
