Summary

Instructions for Upgrading to 1.6 from 1.5

Staged Upgrade

Windows

Setup Staging Directory

Login to the Windows server as the vitalsigns administrator

Create a directory named v16_vitalsigns

Extract the 1.6 Vitalsigns zip files (VSIGNS-Windows-16xx.zip) into v16_vitalsigns

Rename CU1 to match the production vitalsigns/YOURCU acronym.

Copy the production vitalsigns\YOURCU\data\config\ contents into v16_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


Carefully merge membership_analysis.xls with membership_analysis-samp.xls NOTE : there is a new LN_VAR_RATE_CODE dimension

  • Save membership_analysis-samp.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

Edit vsigns_srv.ini and set 

QV_UNICODE   "UTF-16LE"


Merge Custom Presenatation Document Changes

Open the following presentation level documents in 2 QlikView windows side by side NOTE : the left qlik document should be from the production vitalsigns\YOURCU and the right from the v16_vitalsigns.

Compare the bookmarks/reports/Custom Charts in each of the documents. 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
  • Membership_Analysis_by_SSN.qvw (Might not be in use)
  • Transaction_Analysis.qvw
  • Loan_Application.qvw
  • Spectrum_Data_Change.qvw


Verify Data Integrity

Install Qlik 11 Client x64

Apply the License

Backup the qvd directory as qvd_v15

Edit v16_vitalsigns\bin\custom\Set_Custom_Paths.txt and set the QVDataPath to the live path containing the qvd directory 

QVDataPath = 'C:\vitalsigns\YOURCU\data\';

Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT

  • Open v16_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/Read_Qvd_Membership_Analysis.qvw
    • Click File->Reload
    • Save the document when it has finished reloading
  • Open v16_vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/Read_Qvd_Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT.qvw

      • Save the document.
  • Open vitalsigns/YOURCU/Membership_Analysis_by_ACCOUNT.qvw and verify the same date is selected in the upper left as the v16 document
  • Compare the totals at the bottom of the Mbr Select Sheet with the totals from the v16 document
  • Look at the Mbr Attributes as well to make sure things look as they should
    • If attributes are missing, click Settings->Variable Overview
      • Find the variable named InitMacro and change the value from 0 to 1
      • Note : This may be set to 1 in later 1.6 versions
      • Press OK
      • Browse to the Overview Sheet and click the button labeled "Post Reload (Local Access Only)"
      • Verify that the Attributes now look correct
      • Click Settings->Variable Overview and set InitMacro back to 0
      • Hit Clear
      • Select the Mbr Select Sheet
      • Save the document


HPUX

Login as the askplus user

Copy the vsdata directory to vsdata-bkup-YYYYMMDD 

cd /ASKPLUS
cp -Rp vsdata vsdata-bkup-20140201

Transfer binary VSIGNS-UNIX-16xx.gz into /ASKPLUS/ and unzip/untar it : 

gunzip VSIGNS-UNIX-1601.gz
tar -xvf VSIGNS-UNIX-1601

Merge vitalsigns.ini with vitalsigns.samp

Merge vsreload.ini with vsreload.samp

Manually copy custom/test/ files into /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live

    • Do NOT overwrite ATTRFILE or any ifiles that are used in ATTRFILE


Check to see what version of Askplus the client is running. 

		
/ASKPLUS/askplus
/ASKPLUS/askplusx
Copyright LSWE (c) 1978-2011. Distributed by Vital Soft, Inc.
ASKPLUS/Unix E.8.3.3 (32 bits) ready ! Thu Feb 20 18:33:51 2014
>

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 750 permissions)

Confirm that the /VSJOBS symbolic link exists : 

Example:

$ ls /VSJOBS
JVSLOAD_GLDATA      JVSLOAD_HIST        JVSLOAD_MBRSHLN
JVSRELOAD           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-bkup-CCYYMMDD/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR file 

cat /ASKPLUS/vsdata-bkup-CCYYMMDD/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR
  • If custom criteria exists, merge it into the /ASKPLUS/vsdata/scripts/VSCALC-CUSTOM-ATTR

Verify the following macros in /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/live/vsmacdef NOTE : Compare the vsmacdef against the new version in /ASKPLUS/vsdata/custom/test/

  • 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

Verify 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
