Before you start the update process check if Firebird version 2.5.3 is installed on the server.
If not follow this manual to update your Firebird. <a href="/images/Update_Firebird_to_2.5.3.pdf" target="_blank">>> Update Firebird to 2.5.3 <<</a><a href="/images/Update_Firebird_to_2.5.3.pdf" target="_blank"></a>
Please be aware that Firebird 2.5.3 is absolutley necessary for MedITEX v.2.5.1.5 or above!

1. Establish a connection with Teamviewer (Only for remote).
   
   
2. Download the Update package from a link, wich you have received from us.
   
   
3. Copy the update package  to ...\CRITEX\Updates. If the folder "Updates" does not exist, simply create.
   
   
4. Unzip the update package now (...\CRITEX\Updates\MedITEX_IVF_AutoUpdate_x.xxx.exe). Set it as the destination directory to "...\CRITEX\Updates" and then click "Extract".

6. Start the LoginControl.exe (...\CRITEX\MedITEX IVF\LoginControl.exe). If you select the tab „Logged in clients" you can see all services and users accessing the database.
   Make sure that every single user is logged off.
   Important: To make sure that no one logs in again, move to "Login Control". Under the tab "Lock / Unlock" set the lock level to 2.

7. In the "Services" window ("Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Services" or simply type "services" into the Windows search function) stop all services that appear in the "Login Control", including MeditexDicom and MeditexWebSvc.
   Important: Keep the window open at best. You have to restart all terminated services after a successful update proces.

10. Backups
    Important: Start this step only when step 8 and 9 has been completed.
    
    
    • You need to run the backup ...\CRITEX\MedITEX IVF\MedITEX Backup.exe
      Caution: Once the backup is complete the lock level in the "Login Control" is unchained and users can log on again. So always keep an eye on the backup process. Once this is done,you should promptly set the lock level on 1. Please check if someone could login within this short time window. Only continue if the conditions of step 8 and 9 are given.
