Procedure For Applying Vault Server Hotfixes in a Multi-Site and Connected Workgroup Environment

Traditionally, Vault Server hotfix readme's have not included precise steps to install the hotfix in a replicated (Filestore only and Filestore\SQL Replication environment. Since this was brought to our attention, we have started to include more detailed instructions in the newer hotfixes. We are planning to update the already published readme's and they should be the first point to look for the precise install instructions. However, in their absence, please follows these steps.

Hotfix Installation – applied to every Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS).

1. Reset the web service by typing 'iisreset' at the command prompt.
2. Run tsxxxxxxx on the ADMS server to install the hotfix.
3. Repeat the preceding steps for every ADMS server.
4. Open ADMS Console and migrate all unmigrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
   1. NOTE: It is sufficient to utilize a single ADMS Console on;
      1. Multi Site (file replication)
      2. Connected Workgroup (file and SQL replication) on a Publisher Workgroup ONLY
5. Close the ADMS Console application.

Database Update – applied ONCE from one Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) as specified.

1. WARNING: DO NOT PROCEED until the hotfix has been successfully applied on ALL ADMS servers.

3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the installed location of Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe.
