Summary
Instructions for Upgrading to 1.5 from 1.4
Staged Upgrade
Windows
Setup Staging Directory
Login to the Windows server as the vitalsigns administrator
Make a copy of the current vitalsigns directory and rename it : v15_vitalsigns
Extract the 1.5 Vitalsigns zip files
Copy the extracted bin files to v15_vitalsigns/bin/
Open the following presentation level application in 2 QlikView windows (1.5 extracts and current 1.4 copies in v15_vitalsigns). Compare the bookmarks/reports/Custom Charts. Export/Import any custom reports/bookmarks to the new Qvw files, copy any Custom Charts to the new Qvw files
- Daily_Membership_Summary.qvw
- Weekly_Membership_Summary.qvw
- Monthly_Membership_Summary.qvw
- Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT.qvw
- Transaction_Analysis.qvw
- Loan_Application.qvw
Copy the extracted presentation level documents into v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/
Copy the extracted MBRSHLN load level qvw file into v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/mbrshln/
- Load_Qvd_MBR_SHARE_LOAN.qvw
Copy the extracted HIST load level qvw file into v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/hist/
- Load_Qvd_Hist.qvw
Copy extracted read level qvw files into v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/
- Read_Qvd_Membership_Analysis
- Read_Qvd_Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT
- Read_Qvd_Monthly_Membership_Summary
- Delete Read_Qvd_Daily_Membership_Summary and Read_Qvd_Weekly_Membership_Summary
- Copy Read_Qvd_Monthly_Membership_Summary twice and rename copies:
- Read_Qvd_Daily_Membership_Summary
- Read_Qvd_Weekly_Membership_Summary
- Read_Qvd_Transaction_Analysis
- Read_Qvd_Loan_Application
- Reload_Qvd_Fix_ChgOff
Copy extracted config files into v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/config/
- Carefully merge vitalsigns.xls with vitalsigns-samp.xls
- In the vitalsigns.xls on the GlobalVars sheet
- Make sure vUseAcctXref = 1
- Make sure that vReportFrequencies exists : Daily, Weekly, Monthly
- Save vitalsigns-samp.xls to vitalsigns.xls
- In the vitalsigns.xls on the GlobalVars sheet
Carefully merge membership_analysis.xls with membership_analysis-samp.xls
- Save membership_analysis-temp.xls to membership_analysis.xls
Carefully merge documentdistribution.xls with documentdistribution-samp.xls
- Save documentdistribution-samp.xls to documentdistribution.xls
Carefully merge VS_BRANCH_INFO.xls with the VS_BRANCH_INFO-samp.xls
- Save VS_BRANCH_INFO-samp.xls to VS_BRANCH_INFO.xls
- BranchReassign.xls
- If this files doesn't exist, review the Vital Signs-v15 - Transaction Analysis Setup.pdf
- Rename BranchReassign.xls BranchReassign-temp.xls until you have all of the Branch Numbers for the Credit Union and their corresponding drawer numbers (Including Virtual Branches)
- Get a list of the Branch numbers and associated drawer numbers for the CU
- Virtual Branches are supported as well - A Virtual Branch is a Branch number that does not exist in Spectrum but can be assigned to real drawer numbers and tracked in Transaction Analysis
- Important - If BranchReassign.xls is found without being completely filled out, any matching drawer numbers with a 0 branch will be dropped from Vital Signs. It is VERY important to get all of the branch information correct the first time. It is important to also list reserved drawer numbers that can potentially be assigned to a branch in the future.
Copy Data_Change-samp.xls as Data_Change.xls
Patch QVD Files
NOTE : The following patch qvw files can be launched in 2 separate QlikView x64 applications and run at the same time. NOTE : If you need to patch a few days, place these qvd files in their own qvd directory after renaming the current qvd directory, patch the files and then merge them with the other patch qvds before going live.
Append SH_CHGOFF_FLAG and LN_CHGOFF_FLAG fields to existing 1.4 SHFILE and LNFILE qvd files
- Open and Reload v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/Reload_Qvd_Fix_ChgOff.qvw
Append missing TRAN-DATE field to HISTCCYYMMDD.qvd files
- Open and Reload v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/Reload_Qvd_Fix_Hist_Tran_Date.qvw
- This should not be run at the same time as the Reload_Qvd_Fix_Hist_Distinct.qvw
Append Hist_Distinct field to HISTCCYYMMDD.qvd files
- Reload_Qvd_Fix_Hist_Distinct.qvw
Verify Data Integrity
Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT
- Open v15_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/Read_Qvd_Membership_Analysis.qvw

- Click the "Clear and Set all to Open" button
- Select the Current Date in the upper left
- Right click the Date select box and click properties and browse to the General Tab
- Enable the "Always 1 selected" option, hit OK
- Save the document.
- Open vitalsigns/YOURCU/Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT.qvw and verify the same date is selected in the upper left as the v15 document
- Compare the totals at the bottom of the Mbr Select Sheet with the totals from the v15 document
- Look at the Mbr Attributes as well to make sure things look as they should
- If attributes are missing, click Settings->Variable Overview

HPUX
Login as the askplus user
Copy the vsdata directory to vsdata-bkup-YYYYMMDD
cd /ASKPLUS cp -Rp vsdata vsdata-v14
Check to see what version of Askplus the client is running.
/ASKPLUS/askplus
If pre 8.2.3 then modify the vsdata/jobs/JVS* files to call /ASKPLUS/askplus e8051 NOTE: It is highly recommended to upgrade to Askplus e.8.3.3 or later to fix a critical update bug
Place the new Spectrum_Data_Change file for the specific CPU type (Itanium/PA-Risc) in /ASKPLUS
- datachng.sl (.so for Itanium)
- (owner askplus:users and executable)
Confirm that the /VSJOBS symbolic link exists :
Example: $ ls /VSJOBS JVSLOAD_GLDATA JVSLOAD_HIST JVSLOAD_MBRSHLN JVSLOAD_PSCU JVSLOAD_GLDATA.old JVSLOAD_HIST.old JVSLOAD_NEWHIST JVSRELOAD JVSLOAD_GLDATA.txt JVSLOAD_HIST.txt JVSLOAD_OANR
If the /VSJOBS symbolic link does not exist, login as root and create it :
ln -s /ASKPLUS/vsdata/jobs /VSJOBS
Update the Directory and Temp paths in /ASKPLUS/vsrvtcp.ini to new larger volume paths for the vsdata_ profiles
NOTE : This should only be necessary for a site upgrading from an original 1.4 install
Example :
[vsdata_live] login=bolive Directory=/var/summit/spectrum/LIVE/vsdata TEMP=/var/summit/spectrum/LIVE/vsdata/temp EQ_DBSERVER=localhost:eloq-LIVE script_path=/ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts custom_path=/ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live Vmgr=/ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vmgr
Check for custom attributes in the /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR file
- If they exist, make a note to not overwrite the existing VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR when bringing over the new scripts directory files
Verify the following macros in /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef
- If site uses OANR
Macro VS-EXTRACT-OANR = 1
- If the site has visa info in Spectrum
Macro VS-EXTRACT-VISAINFO = 1
- If the site uses lender
Macro VS-EXTRACT-LOANAP = 1
Add the following macros in /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef under Macro VS-CHGOFF-LOAN
** Added for Trial Balance extracts: Macro VS-TRBAL-SHARE = (SHARE-FILE.BALANCE <> 0 OR SHARE-FILE.CONTROL-FLAGS(21) <> " ") Macro VS-TRBAL-LOAN = (LOAN-FILE.BALANCE <> 0 OR LOAN-FILE.CREDIT-LIM > 0) *** Use the following macros if you want to include non-zero escrow balance loans in the trial bal chart *** - The macros with the same names (below) MUST be disabled with comments. *Macro VS-TRBAL-INC-ESCTOTS = 1 *Macro VS-TRBAL-ESCROW-LINK = link l1, account splice "-" splice !format("99", suffix) :: esctots.acct-sfx-key *Macro VS-TRBAL-ESCROW-MBR = (!range((LOAN-ADDENDUM.BALANCE <> 0, $MISSING), "1/")) *Macro VS-TRBAL-ESCROW-LN = (ESCTOTS.ESCROW_BALANCE <> 0, $MISSING) *** Use the following macros if zero balance escrow loans Should NOT be included *** - The macros with the same names (above) MUST be disabled with comments. Macro VS-TRBAL-INC-ESCTOTS = 0 Macro VS-TRBAL-ESCROW-LINK = * No Link Macro VS-TRBAL-ESCROW-MBR = ($FALSE) Macro VS-TRBAL-ESCROW-LN = ($FALSE)
Verify vmgr and vmgr_eom are opening:
dfiles; loanap.loanap;
Links should be :
Links: REG = MEMBRS.MEMBER-FILE, MEMBRS.SHARE-FILE, MEMBER-FILE.ACCOUNT :: SHARE-FILE.ACCOUNT; SFX0 = MEMBRS.MEMBER-FILE, MEMBRS.SHARE-FILE, MEMBER-FILE.ACCOUNT :: SHARE-FILE.ACCOUNT FORWARDS COUNT=1;
Loan_Application changes to /ASKPLUS/vsdata/vsreload.ini
- If the CU uses lender, uncomment the loanap read and presentation level tasks in the [MBRSHLN_Daily] group
[MBRSHLN_Daily] ... #task15=Read_Qvd_Loan_Application task16=Read_Qvd_Data_Change task21=Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT task22=Membership_Analysis_by_SSN task23=Daily_Membership_Summary #task24=Loan_Application task25=Spectrum_Data_Change
Edit vsdata/vitalsigns.ini and add the following
FTP_SECURE=No FTP_PROTOCOL=TLSv1 FTP_PASV=Yes FTP_VERBOSE=No VS_WORKPATH=/var/summit/spectrum/LIVE
Copy new v15 UNIX files into vsdata
- custom/live/ files into /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live
- Do NOT overwrite ATTRFILE or any ifiles that are used in ATTRFILE
- jobs/ into /ASKPLUS/vsdata/jobs
- scripts/ into /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts
