Summary

Download Vital Signs 1.6

Download Vital Signs for HPUX Download Vital Signs for Windows

Staged Upgrade

Windows

Install Qlikview 11 Client

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 config files (No Samp Files) from 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

Merge vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/config/start_vsigns_srv.vbs with start_vsigns_srv.samp

Merge vitalsigns/YOURCU/data/config/vsigns_srv.ini with vsigns_srv.samp

NOTE: Set QV_UNICODE in vsigns_srv.ini with QlikView 11 compatible UTF-16LE

QV_UNICODE   "UTF-16LE"

Merge Custom Presentation Document Changes
