Tutorial - Upgrading to Windows® 10

This guide contains a description of the steps to be taken before and after upgrading to Windows® 10 to make sure TachoScan works properly.

 

Before upgrading to Windows® 10

 

1.Update TachoScan to the latest version.

2.It is absolutely necessary to create a backup copy of TachoScan database.

A copy of the database may be made only on the computer on which the server is installed.

 

•log in to the TachoScan user account with "administration panel" permissions.

The default administrator account:
- login: "administrator";
- password: "admin."

 

•open the program settings window ("Basic data -> Settings" menu), then go to the: "Administration panel -> Database backup settings";

▪set: Database backup directory;

The manufacturer of the program recommends that a copy of the database was made/transferred to an external storage (flash drive, external hard drive, another computer).
When testing Windows® 10 upgrades there were cases in which the system erased all data on the disk.

 

•go to the: "Administration panel -> Support" tab.

▪click: ;

▪check the: Create database backup only (*.bak) option (Fig. bellow):

<%TOOLTIP2%>

Fig. Program settings -> Administration panel -> Support.

▪click .

•verify that the database backup files have been properly created in the directory specified earlier;

•Make a backup copy of digital files and scanned record sheets:

▪the path where the above files are stored is given in: "Administration panel -> Paths" tab: Path for the TachoScan module files;

We recommend that you make a backup of other important files/documents.

 

•remove the external storage (to which the backup was made) from your computer.

 

 

Upgrading to Windows® 10

After creating a database backup, you are ready to upgrade the system.

If you do not know how to upgrade, please contact your IT specialist (system administrator).

Inelo is not responsible for any problems arising during the upgrade to Windows® 10 - please contact Microsoft® customer service.

Free upgrade is available until 28 July 2016.

 

 

•Windows® 7 with SP1;

•Windows® 8.1;

•Processor: 1 GHz or faster processor or SoC;

•RAM: 1 GB for 32-bit version or 2 GB for 64-bit version;

•Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit or
20 GB for 64-bit operating system;

•Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver;

•Display: 800 x 600.

After upgrading to Windows® 10

Make sure that TachoScan runs on MSDE 2000 and that it works correctly.

 

 

We anticipate two options:

We recommend to upgrade SQL server to minimum SQL Server™ 2008R2 Express or another.

Justification:

- "SQL Server™ 2000" and "SQL Server™ 2005" are not supported by TachoScan and Microsoft®;
- for "SQL Server™ 2008" or later - change in database size limitation from 2GB to 10GB;
- for the "SQL Server™ 2008" or later - much improved performance.

 

Upgrading to a higher version of SQL Server® is done using the DB Manager software de-scribed in Option II below.

 

If there is no connection to the database you should receive the following message:

<%TOOLTIP2%>

Fig. Error message.

Upgrading to a higher version of SQL Server:

1.Run DB Manager software on the server computer (menu: "Start -> Programs -> INELO -> Utils -> Database Manager -> Database Manager).

<%TOOLTIP2%>

Fig. Upgrade.

This upgrade window does not appear if the TachoScan database is connected to SQL Server™ 2014 or later.

 

2.Click .

3.In the next window, select the database backup copy you created just before upgrading to Windows® 10 (a file with the extension "bak"):

<%TOOLTIP2%>

Fig. Database backup copy.

4.Click .

5.The program will start the download and installation:

•SQL Server™ 2008R2 Express - if TachoScan database was connected to MSDE 2000 or SQL Server™ 2005;

•SQL Server™ 2017 Express - if TachoScan database was connected to SQL Server™ 2008R2.

During and/or after installation, you may be required to reboot the computer.
If the computer reboots during installation, the installer will automatically resume operation.

 

6.After the installation of SQL Server® verify if record sheet files and digital reading files are stored in the record sheet files and digital reading files directory ("Basic data -> Settings" menu, "Administration panel -> Paths" tab, "Path for the TachoScan module files") if not, copy them from the backup directory that you created earlier.

During the installation of SQL Server™ an instance is be created, to which the one of the following automatically connects:
- INELO08 - for SQL Server™ 2008R2;
- INELO14 - dla SQL Server™ 2014.
- INELO17 - for SQL Server™ 2017.

To prevent accidental connection to the old database, the update program disconnects it from the previous version of SQL Server™.
Both the previous version of SQL Server™ and the database are not removed during the upgrade.
After checking if TachoScan is working properly and data is complete, you can uninstall the old version of SQL Server™ and remove the old database.

Service version:
If you want the database backup copy to be created using INELO Service then during the first linking of each database, check the Jobs schedule executed by: -> INELO Service option ("Basic data -> Settings" menu, "Administration panel -> Database backup settings" tab).

 

7.Run TachoScan.
