Upgrading by Re-Installing the System
If you want to re-install the system from scratch, please follow these steps:
1. Backup the system configuration (
Data — Configuration — Full configuration
). Log in to
the system as root and copy the file
/opt/btech/extractor/etc/btech
.
xmlcfg1e
(if you are
running a version prior to 5.2, the file is located at
/opt/btech/etc/btech
.
xmlcfg1e
) to a safe
location (off the system).
2. Export the current license (
About — License — Export current license and software mainte-
nance keys
; 5.1.0 or later) or write down the license key (
About — License
).
3. Possibly back up the system network configuration by logging in to the machine and copying any
files matching the wildcard
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*
to a safe location (off
the system).
4. If you have uploaded custom images for the Remote Video Wall, make sure you have copies of
these available so that you can re-upload those separately.
5. Re-install the system as described above.
6. Using the Software Activation page import the previous license key (under
More options
); or
re-enter it using the activation page) and activate the software.
7. Import the configuration from
Data — Configuration — Import configuration XML
.
If importing the old configuration fails with an error, please follow these steps:
1. Log in to the system as root and issue the command
systemctl stop vb288.ewe
2. Restore the backup of the file
btech
.
xmlcfg1e
that you made above as
/opt/btech/extractor/
etc/btech
.
xmlcfg1e
3. Issue the command
systemctl start vb288.ewe
