Update Data Manager

This lesson walks you through updating Data Manager.

Data Manager Prerequisite

NOTE: Data Manager 2011 REQUIRES PostgreSQL 8.3. It will not work with PostgreSQL 8.2. To check your PostgreSQL version, check your server computer by going to Start, Programs, and look for PostgreSQL. It will either list PostgreSQL 8.2 or PostgreSQL 8.3. If it shows PostgreSQL 8.3, proceed with updating to the latest Data Manager. If it shows PostgreSQL 8.2, continue to use your current version of Data Manager that will continue working even if SOAPware is updated.

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that everyone is out of SOAPware when installing DataManager as the installation will restart the database to make necessary changes to the database.
