Existing Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server customers

Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server sites

The setup package is designed to detect and upgrade an existing installation of Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server on the target system.

Upgrading from an earlier version of Maritime Chart Service

To upgrade from a Maritime Chart Service version earlier than 10.5, you will need to upgrade the software, Maritime Server SOE, and map services with Maritime Chart Service configured. If you are upgrading an existing 10.5 or a more recent version, follow the steps in the Upgrading the Maritime Chart Service section below.

   The License Agreement dialog box appears.

4. Review the license agreement and accept it, or exit if you do not agree with the terms.
5. Click Next.
6. The Maritime feature should already be selected. If not, click the drop-down arrow and choose This feature will be installed on local hard drive.
7. Click Next.

   The Ready to Install the Program dialog box appears.

8. Click Install to begin installation.
9. Once the installation is complete, click Finish.
10. Repeat steps 1–9 for each machine in a multiple-machine site.

Upgrading Products on Demand

Remarque :

If ArcGIS for Maritime: Server has never been installed on this machine, see Installing Mapping and Charting Solutions for Server.

Before starting your upgrade process, you should backup your existing PoD deployment. Doing so will simplify the new deployment by preserving some of your settings. It is critical to backup your existing deployment if you made customization to the web application or PoD configuration files.

Now that you have backed up your existing PoD deployment you can now follow the Deploying Products on Demand (PoD) steps to redeploy the new version of PoD. Once complete you will need to merge any previous configuration changes.
