Important Information

The IRIS Docs Update Assistant is designed to automate the key stages of the update process of IRIS Docs. The password for the S6Services (AD)account IS required or must be reset first.

Where the desktop client requires updating on a Terminal Server, the update must be run using install mode. Therefore users’ sessions must be disconnected and logged off.

The Update Assistant automates the important steps in the update process; requiring user intervention only for triggering the actual IRIS Docs software update.

Prior to running the update, customers should ensure that users are not using IRIS Docs. They should also be advised not to generate documents out of IRIS which would otherwise automatically file away into IRIS Docs. IRIS Docs will be off-line whilst the update takes place.

The whole process may take around 15 minutes; once the software has successfully downloaded. The download usually takes approximately 20 minutes, but this depends on the capacity of the internet connection.
