- General information about installing updates

  • It is recommended that you back up your software before installing any updates.
  • All users should exit out of the software when applying the updates.
  • The updates do not check your version numbers.  We recommend that you check the version you are on before applying an update.  To view version numbers, start PBS and press F1 at the "User ID" field.
  • Downloading and installing an update will update your module's version number to the version number indicated in the "Fix Version" column.  After installing an update, you can verify that the update was applied properly by rechecking the version numbers.
  • Every installation requires the System Manager update.  Other updates should be applied as needed based on the modules you have installed.
  • After installing an update, you may need to set file permissions and ownership for the programs that were installed.
  • If you have any custom programming or custom modules installed do not install any updates until you have contacted your customization dealer.
  • If you are a source dealer and need the source code for any of these updates, please contact support at support@pass-port.com
 

- Information for installing updates for Windows

  • The update may be in one of two formats, either a self-extracting "exe" file, or a "zip" file.
  • For a self-extracting "exe" update:  Download the update program, run it, and when prompted, point to the location of where your software is installed.
  • For a "zip" update:  Download the zip file, place it in the top level directory where the software is installed, and unzip it using the "folders" option.  The updated programs will then be placed in their proper sub-directories.
 

- Information for installing updates for Unix/Linux

  • The updates for Unix/Linux are contained in tar files.  Download and place the tar file in the top level directory where your software is installed.  Then untar it using the command:

tar xvf tar_file_name.tar

Notes: 

  • "N/A" in the "Fix Version" column indicates the current update for the module is procedural only.
  • The "Download All" section allows you to download all the module updates in a single download.   For Unix/Linux, this will be a tar file that contains all the individual tar files.  For Windows, this will be a zip file that contains all the individual zip files.
  • The "Procedural Update" column contains information about fixes that don't require a download.  These require you to make manual changes to your software.
 

If you are a current user of PBS and have questions regarding these updates, please contact your Passport Partner for installation assistance and support.
