Installing FireRMS Updates
Release Notes
The release notes contain information that can be crucial to a successful installation. Whether it is a new install or an upgrade
The release notes contain a listing of some of the new features, problem resolutions, as well as some know issues.
This document will also include system requirements and basic installation instructions.
Always check the release notes before performing an upgrade or new install!
Backups
Always make backups of the database. It is also a good idea to have a copy of the
install directory from which FireRMS is currently loaded.
This includes the cache files.
Cache Files
The Create/Update tab is where you lock and update the database. Locking the database in required for certain functions from within SQL Utilities. There is also a new reindex option for use during upgrades.
User Defined Tabs
If you have any work-in-progress User Defined Tabs, you must reset permissions for those User Defined Tabs by selecting Reset Permissions on the SQL
Utilities, Maintenance tab.
If you do not reset permissions, a crash will occur during the upgrade
The maintain tab has some very handy tools that can be used in lieu of SQL Server Enterprise Manager/Management Studio.
Upgrade or Clean Install?
This is a common message on new installs and
on clean upgrades. If you see this message, you should check the security rights for the FireRMS5SQL folder and make sure that the group Everyone has Full Access.
Permissions
Permissions
After upgrading a client, if you get a message saying that the client is out of date, simply restart the client and that should fix it.
ZMS and Firerms Client
The upgrade client MUST be loaded on your ZMS server.
Best practice is to register the firerms.exe within ZMS.

Support Tips
If you have firerms client issues after upgrade. 1. Delete cache files C:\firerms5sql\rms5sql 2. Locate this file firedbcversion.txt in C:\
firerms5sql directory. Open this file and remove version number and
save it blank. Launch firerms 2 times and it will rebuild all the
client views. 3. Remove the firerms5_DSN and recreate it.
