General pre-installation information

To install PBS Version 11.4.4 Year-End update the System Manager Version must be at 11.4.x. To verify your version press the <F1> key at the PBS User ID login screen and view the System Manager version. If you are on a different version, refer to the upgrade_options for Windows or the upgrade options for UNIX/Linux page. If you need a full install of 11.4, you must have an appropriate CD ROM.

Specific PBS payroll programs are replaced with the Version 11.4.4 year-end update installation.  No critical data files are over-written.

If necessary install the previous 11.4 updates

The year-end 2007 year-end install does not include the 11.4.3 Payroll or the 11.4.3 System Manager updates. If you are not at either version you must install these updates first. To do this go to the 11.4 updates page and when finished come back to install the year-end updates.

Make sure you have a restorable current backup of PBS before you do this installation.

A restorable backup of your data is highly recommended before you install PBS 11.4.  A backup can be as simple as selecting to copy PBS and paste to another directory or you may backup the data to another media or hard drive.

Standard Data Conversion and Creation of new Data Files

No data conversion occurs during the installation of this update.

Pre-installation path issues when using non-standard paths

There is no change to the paths for files or programs for the 11.4 year-end installation.

The following are important notes if your PBS system has been customized:

§        IMPORTANT: Some of the Version 11.4 System Manager and Payroll programs have been re-compiled.  If you have any customized programs or a third party integrated application, they may need to be merged with changed programs and re-compiled with the changed copybooks enabling the programs to work properly in PBS Version 11.4.4 year-end. Check with your programmer for an additional explanation.
