I think I'm overthinking this, but how do you update multiple web server app pools to a newer version of OnBase. When I look at the OnBase server updater tool, it shows my web servers on version 18. I've updated my app server to the latest version, EP5. I've run the web server installation and configured it during setup. Do I need to manually copy the files from the installation appserver folder over to the other app pool folders for it to update? Do I need to run the web server installer multiple times? I'm kind of confused on what I need to do next to update them. I've gone back and watched the web server installation and troubleshooting videos in the training. I didn't see anything in there that helps answer my question. I've tried a couple different searches in different areas of the forums but nothing is coming back to me that looks similar to my issue.
Thanks any assistance!

Hi
The OnBase Server Updater tool is only used to update web apps (OnBase Web Server, Application Server, etc) within a version of the software. It does not upgrade to new version of the software. If you would like to upgrade, you'll have to use the installer to upgrade one instance and then copy to the other instances accordingly.
I'm sure there is a way to script this out if you would like (PowerShell). The installer has command line shortcuts as does IIS.
Best wishes.

Hi
Lets assume you have the following Web Server web applications ...
- AppNet
- AppNetDocPop
- AppNetAD
In this example, AppNet is the base Web Server installed using the installer and the other two were created using WAMCON. Here is an example of the steps you can use to upgrade ...
- Backup all web.configs
- Upgrade AppNet using the setup.exe to OnBase Foundation EP5
- Remove AppNetDocPop and AppNetAD (i.e. remove the web apps in IIS and delete the folders)
- Use WAMCON to create AppNetDocPop and AppNetAD (or manually create them)
Hope this helps.
