Upgrade software on a Workflow Server
Only systems with one or more GV STRATUS servers that are Workflow Servers require this process. Use SiteConfig to install software on the Workflow Servers.
-
Verify the
SiteConfig roles currently assigned to the server. If the roles are not correct
for your system design, add or remove roles accordingly. Roles are as follows:
- GV STRATUS Event Viewer
- GV STRATUS Workflow Engine (Required. Must be assigned to Express/Core server or to dedicated Workflow Server)
- GV STRATUS Rules Engine (Required. Must be assigned to Express/Core server or to dedicated Workflow Server)
- GV STRATUS Xcode Control Engine (Required. Must be assigned to Express/Core server or to dedicated Workflow Server)
- GV STRATUS Control Panel
- Add the server to a deployment group, such as the GV STRATUS deployment group.
- Add the following files to the deployment group: Refer to release notes for version numbers.
-
Do the SiteConfig
Check
Software operation on the server.
Note: If an "Unable to copy ... to target" error appears for a device that has the Grass Valley Embedded Security solution, apply the Embedded Security solution one-time initial deployment process to the device. After the one-time process is complete the error does not appear and it is no longer necessary to put Embedded Security in Update mode.
- Verify that deployment tasks are set to Install for the files listed above. If a WFRegMon install task appears, install it as well. It is required to support Grass Valley software installers. There is no uninstall task.
- Deploy software to the server.
- Restart as prompted.
Next, install an optional XCODECONTROL license, if appropriate for your
system.
