Updating (Freshup)

The most recent Freshup is required to update the card_1 10.1.

You are automatically informed if a new Freshup is available. If a new version is available, you can view the Freshup details and download the Freshup.

By default, card_1 checks daily for new versions. You can configure the card_1 Updater via the card_1 menu Settings > User Settings > Configure card_1 Updater, e. g. the check interval. You can use the card_1 menu item ? > Check for Freshups to check for new versions manually.

NOTE
  • You cannot use a Freshup to install the card_1 system.
  • Updating the card_1 system via Freshup requires a 'base version' to be installed. The base version is the minimum version which must be installed to successfully run the card_1 Freshup. A warning message is displayed should the minimum version not be installed.
  • Before running a Freshup, you must shut down card_1 on the relevant workstation. If you are operating card_1 within a network, card_1 must be shut down on all workstations.

The configuration is subject to password protection. The password 'admin_updater' is preset. Once you have entered a new password this password is no longer valid.

General

  • Days between update checks: Here you can enter the interval (days) at which card_1 automatically checks for Freshups.

    • -1: Never check
    • 0: Always check when card_1 is started
    • >0: Every x days
  • Log level: Here you change the logging mode. Normally, you should not need to change this setting (e. g. when asked by our support).

Connection
  • Connection Type: You can select the connection type 'Web Client' or 'Http Request'.
  • Proxy server: Here you can define the settings which the Updater uses to access the internet (as an alternative to the system settings). Normally, you should not need to change this settings. You can use Test proxy connection to check whether the Updater can access the internet.

Repository url

Here you can enter the url of the updater information file.

WARNING  Please do not change this setting as the Updater will not work otherwise.

Security

Here you can change the default password 'admin_updater' to protect your settings.

  1. You can view the Freshup details and then download the Freshup. You must be logged onto the card_1 Support Centre.

  2. Please start the self-extractor (F_yymmnn.exe; yy = year, mm = month, nn = number) – the Freshup program will display a Welcome dialog box.
  3. By confirming this dialog box, the Windows system analysis will then start.
  4. Please enter the path to the card_1 program folder – the card_1 system will then be updated.
  5. Start the card_1 system.

It is also possible to run the card_1 Freshup in 'silent mode'. The card_1 Freshup then runs in the background without any user interaction. Thus it is possible to integrate the card_1 Freshup into company-internal and scheduled update processes.

As each card_1 installation environment is different you have to prepare the card_1 Freshup for the 'silent mode' (a one-off process). Preparing the card_1 Freshup for the 'silent mode' means generating a response file which contains the responses captured while running the Freshup. You have to create a new response file if the installation environment changes.

  1. Please start the current card_1 Freshup using the following command line

    f_yymmnn.exe -a -r -f1path to the response file

    Example: Starts the card_1 Freshup 04.10/1. The response file to be created is called 'c:\freshup\freshup.iss'.

    f_100401.exe -a -r -f1c:\freshup\freshup.iss
  2. Now run the card_1 Freshup as usual.

  1. Please start the current card_1 Freshup in 'silent mode' using the following command line

    f_yymmmnn.exe -a -s -f1path to the response file-f2path to the log file

    Example: Starts the card_1 Freshup 04.10/1. The response file is called 'c:\freshup\freshup.iss' and the log file is named 'c:\freshup\freshup.log'.

    f_100401.exe -a -s -f1c:\freshup\freshup.iss -f2c:\freshup\freshup.log
