  • 1.  Upgrade V2019

    Posted 11-04-2019 11:04
    One question before I screw things up. I have a customer in Sage 100 Standard v2013....all ready to do upgrade to v2019. Can I install, migrate and convert as a test, without affecting the Crystal Reports printing in the LIVE workstations? No users connect directly to the server...they use the workstations. I tried doing this in another customer...but the clients connected thru remote desktop so it was not possible.

    When I perform test upgrades, I go ahead and to the steps for the Crystal conflict, just in case.  If the new Sage install is on a new server and you are not installed the new workstations for the users, then you are clear.

    If you have a new server, and use a separate test workstation, you're fine. 
    If you are installing on the same server, watch out for any use of CR run-time on the server (e.g. scheduled task to auto-post...).
    Installing v2019 workstation on one v2013 user machine means you have to put in the fix for all workstations.

    Experienced this last week.  IF you are working with Advanced, the impact is limited to the local workstation.  If you install the v2019 client on a workstation, then you have to install the pvxwin32.exe.config in the v2017 MAS90\home folder of the local workstation.  You do not have to install on ALL ADV workstations.

    If you are working with Standard, then once you install on a workstation with 2017, then you need to install on ALL 2017 workstations as the pvxwin32.exe.config file resides on the STD server which impacts all workstations.
