Upgrading

If you want to upgrade an existing installation of OneSpan Sign for Microsoft Dynamics CRM, a Dynamics CRM Deployment Administrator should perform the following procedures:

  1. Updating the Managed Solution
  2. Updating the Dashboard & Reports
  3. Updating the Notification Service
  4. Updating the Account Settings

When you upgrade the connector, ensure that no CRM users are using Dynamics CRM.

Updating the Managed Solution

A managed solution is a completed solution that is intended to be distributed and installed.

To update your managed solution:

  1. By doing the following, ensure that OneSpan Sign's Notification Service is running, and has processed all notifications:
    1. On the CRM Server, open the SQL Server Management Studio.
    2. Log in, and expand the databases from the Object Explorer.
    3. Right-click the database that was created in the SQL installation (e.g., esignlive).
    4. Execute the following query:
    5. select * from EslNotifications where Processed is null
      1. If the Processed column contains NULL, you must wait until: (1) all entries are processed and updated to 1 by the Windows service; (2) there are no further entries.
      2. Run the above query again. If there are no rows, it means that all rows have been processed.
  2. Stop the eSignLive Notification Service. Click Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
  3. By doing the following, import the new OneSpan Sign for Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution:
    1. Connect to Dynamics CRM as a user with Administrator privileges.
    2. From the Dynamics CRM top menu, select Settings > Solutions.
    3. From the Solutions grid, click Import.
    4. Dynamics CRM will prompt you for the location of the solution package. Click Browse, and select the provided solution package (e.g., ESLConnector_1_0_0_X_managed.zip).
  4. Click Next to display information about the solution. Dynamics CRM will indicate that the new solution contains an update for the solution that is currently installed.
  5. Ensure that: (i) the option Maintain customizations (recommended) is enabled; (ii) you have selected any SDK message-processing steps that were included in the solution..
  6. Click Next. The solution will import, and a summary page will appear. You may receive a warning message that can safely be ignored. This message indicates that when the solution was imported, the SDK message steps were disabled and then enabled.
  7. Click Close.
  8. Click Publish All Customizations from All Solutions, and then reload the page. You should see that the managed solution bears the version number of your solution update.

Updating the Dashboard & Reports

  1. Backup the file web.config, which is in the directory where you installed the Dashboard and Reports package.
  2. Stop the IIS site associated with the Dashboard and Reports.
