5 Upgrade notes
Before you upgrade, review these instructions.
• This update is intended for OpenText RightFax 22.2 server and client software. If you have not
installed OpenText RightFax 22.2, download it from OpenText My Support and install it before
applying this update.
• This update includes a setup program for OpenText RightFax 22.2 client applications. See
Installing the updated RightFax client applications.
• Apply this update to local RightFax servers before installing it on remote RightFax servers.
• An update to the release notes may be available. Verify that you have obtained the most current
release notes from OpenText My Support, https://support.opentext.com.
Caution
Before applying this update, all remote RightFax services must be shut
down. If they are not shut down, data loss can occur. Also, database
scripts could be run while a remote server is accessing the database,
causing a failure to upgrade the database.
Alternatively, you can use an automated process to update the servers in a Shared Services
environment. See Automating the server update of a Shared Services system.
Important
Installing in a Shared Services system requires down time for all servers
joined to the system. Plan your installation accordingly.
To update RightFax servers in a Shared Services system, complete the following general steps:
• Microsoft Exchange servers that have the RightFax Connector for Exchange installed.
• Remote Internet Information Servers with RightFax Web applications installed.
3. Back up the entire \RightFax directory and the RightFax SQL database.
Important
Run the automated server update during off-peak hours to ensure that
the update completes without problems.
Installing in a Shared Services system requires down time for all servers
joined to the system. Plan your installation accordingly.
1. On the Data Sharing tab in the Server Configuration program, verify that the folder specified in the
Service Release Updates box is the folder RightFax should monitor for server release updates.
The default folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\RightFax\AutoUpdates\.
2. Download the OpenText RightFax 22.2 Software Update 1160 Update Executable from
https://support.opentext.com.
3. When you are ready to start the server update, verify that all servers in the system are running,
and then place the downloaded executable file (RightFax22.2Update1160.exe) into the
AutoUpdates folder or other folder specified for Service Release Updates. If the version of the
update file is later than the version installed, RightFax starts the update of all primary servers in
the Shared Services system, including shutting down and restarting the services after the update.
4. Once all Shared Services nodes are updated automatically, you must manually update all remote
RightFax servers.
To support Microsoft Outlook, you must install version 10.0.60724 of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
Tools for Office Runtime. The tools can be installed from the Prereqs folder of the service release
install program or from Microsoft.
For more information about installing from a command prompt, see the RightFax Installation Guide.
