Introduction 3M assumes that qualified IT staff and others who understand your organization’s network architecture, capabilities and policies will supervise and perform the 3M RFID Tracking System upgrade procedures described on the following pages. Although these instructions are your primary source, other related documentation is referenced on the following pages. NOTE: This upgrade will only work if you already have version 2.1x installed. If you have version 1.0 or 2.0, you must first upgrade to 2.1 and then you can upgrade to 3.0. Please contact 3M Software Support to obtain the version 2.1 upgrade software and install it before running the upgrade to version 3.0.

What’s new in Version 3.0… There are several new feature changes in Version 3.0 of the 3M RFID Tracking System. These are: Web-based Locator software — The Locator software is now a web-based application that runs on a Microsoft IIS 6 or better server in your environment. All the same functions are in the web application: Group Selection, simple and complex search features, view folder history, checkout of files (if this feature is enabled for that PC) and wildcards.You can also export selected records to a CSV file from the Locator screen. Internet Explorer 6.0 or better is required. NOTE: When you install the web locator, it can only point to one RFID tracking database. If you have more than one tracking database (one test database and one production database), then you will need to install one web locator for each database you want to connect to. You can have multiple web servers point to one database, but these should be on different server. Real-Time Alerting — This is a new feature in version 3.0. As part of the web-based Locator software, you can select one or more files to be on a “watch list”. You would provide your email address and when any of the items you have selected are checked in or out on a tracking pad or have been inventoried with the handheld, an email message will be sent to you with information on when and where the file was just seen. Once the email message has been sent, that file will be removed from the watch list. You can manually remove your email from files on a watch list. Access to an SMTP server is required from the SQL database server. Vista Support — Version 3.0 of the RFID tracking system now supports Microsoft Vista Business SP1 or better operating system as well as Windows XP SP2 or better. Settings and logs for the client installed applications (Pad Monitor and System Manager) are now stored in C:\ProgramData\3M\FT\ instead of C:\Program Files\3M\FT to allow non-administrative users to read and modify these files. NOTE: Windows 2000 is no longer supported as a client operating system and SQL 2000 is no longer supported for the database.. Basic Reporting — Using Microsoft SQL Reporting Services (a web-based reporting tool), the RFID Tracking system will initially provide 3 basic reports: 1 – Items checked in by location (or all locations) between 2 dates 2 – Items checked out by location (or all locations) between 2 dates 3 – Items without any activity between 2 dates If additional or more complex reports are needed, 3M can work with you to develop custom reports.

1

Upgrading from Version 2.1x Step 1 – Upgrade the Server to 3.0 First and foremost, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A CURRENT BACKUP OF THE RFID TRACKING DATABASE BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE UPGRADE! When you are upgrading the server, it is highly recommended that you install the web Locator on the same server as the tracking database. You must have IIS 6 or higher installed before you can install the new web locator. Please see Appendix B or C (depending on your version of IIS) on how to configure IIS. You will also need to have Microsoft Reporting Services installed to run the web-based reports and you will need to install the Microsoft Report Viewer software. To upgrade the server, you will need to know how the client will connect to the 3M SQL database, and then create the appropriate accounts and rights to the database before you begin. If you choose to use the 3M standard account, see Appendix A for instructions on how to create this account in the 3M SQL database and then set up the password before you begin upgrading clients.

1

Run the Setup.exe program for Version 3.0. A message will appear telling you there is a previous version of the RFID Tracking System installed. In order to perform the upgrade, the old version must be uninstalled. You are asked if you wish to proceed with the removal of the old version:

When you click Yes you will get a second message asking to confirm the removal of the old version.

Click Yes again. Version 2.1 will be removed from the server.

Appendix E – Automating Client Upgrades Creating a response file NOTE: Administrator rights are required for the following steps. With the release of the 3M RFID Tracking System version 3.x, it is now easier to deploy the software to new workstations or to upgrade existing workstations using standard Install Shield response files. This document will outline how to create and use response files for both new software installations as well as how to upgrade existing workstations. In order to automate the 3M installation / upgrade program so it can be deployed in silent mode (no user input required), you must first run Setup.exe with the /r switch from a command prompt to generate a response file, which stores information about the selections and options selected by the user at run time. When the command Setup.exe /r is run from a command prompt, it displays all the run-time dialog boxes, and stores the data in a file called Setup.iss, created inside the local system's \Windows folder. If you want to specify an alternative response file location and name instead of the default, you can use the /f1 argument. The /f1 argument allows you to specify where the response file is (or where it should be created) and what its name is. For example: Setup.exe /r /f1"C:\Temp\RFIDUpgrade.iss"

How to create a response file for new software installation: To create a response file, you must run the Setup.exe command from a command prompt so you can add the /r switch and /f1 switch if you want to specify the location and name of the response file. Then, just follow the installation as you would normally select the options for this specific installation. Start with a PC that you can verify all selections will work once the software is installed. When creating a response file for a new software installation, you may need to create several response files based on the various configurations of the 3M RFID modules (Pad Monitor and/or System Manager). This way, you can run the appropriate response file for only the modules that a PC needs. For example: you could create one response file that only installed the Pad Monitor module and connect to the SQL database. You could then create another separate response file would be used to install both pad Monitor and System Manager. You could then run a batch file with the appropriate response file with the Setup.exe command to install the appropriate modules.

How to create a response file for upgrades: Upgrades are somewhat easier as they only require a few selections to upgrade the components already installed on the computer. Just as with a new install, start with a PC that you can verify the upgrade was successful, then use a different PC test the silent install on to confirm the upgrade worked. Since the upgrade is simpler, you should only need one response file for an upgrade, compared to possibly several for a new installation.

Copyright © 2005-2009, 3M. All rights reserved. RFID Tracking System Version 3.0 Upgrade Instructions, Rev. A

28

Running the Setup program with a response file Once you have created the response file, you can run Setup.exe /s switch that runs the installation in silent mode, using the responses contained in a response (by default it looks for the file called Setup.iss in the same directory). To specify an alternative file name or location of the response file, use the /f1 option to specify where the response file is (or where it should be created) and what its name is, as in Setup.exe /s /f1"C:\Temp\RFIDUpgrade.iss". Once you know the response file works, you can create a batch file for each response file you wish to use and then have users run that batch file or add it to a user’s logon script to deploy it across multiple machines. NOTE: A silent installation program does not display a dialog if an error occurs. Instead, status information for the silent installation is recorded (by default) in a file called Setup.log, created in the same directory as the response file being used. There is a command line switch, /f2, that can be used to specify an alternative log file name. The /f2 argument allows you to specify an alternative log file location and file name, as in: Setup.exe /s /f2"C:\Setup.log"

Appendix F – Known issues and their work-arounds If the Web.config is deleted and a repair is performed: If the web.config file is deleted then the setup will copy a blank web.config during repair. The user has to manually enter the credentials in the file. This is by design, as the file locator does not have the UI to change the connection settings. Solution: Enter the credentials manually as per the following in the web.config file as follows:

===================================================================================== If a new DB is installed with new 3M RFID user password File locator website will stop working if a new database is installed with update 3M RFID user. This issue is related with SQL. This will happen only if the 3M RFID user password will be changed during DB install. User has to change manually the password in web.config as there is no separate UI in file locator to modify the connection settings. Solution: Edit the web.config file and update the new 3M RFID password as following:



Copyright © 2005-2009, 3M. All rights reserved. RFID Tracking System Version 3.0 Upgrade Instructions, Rev. A

30

===================================================================================== If a prompt for compatibility comes for Visual Studio (VS) 2005. A prompt appear showing Compatibility issue for VS if Locator selected for installation. This happens due to AJAX toolkit installation setup, which tries to access the VS 2005 executables. This is a special issue; it will happen only in Vista/Window Server 2008 if the user has installed VS 2005. This is not a common scenario. The prompt appears due to the some compatibility issues of VS 2005 with windows Vista and WS 2008. This will not cause any functionality issue. Solution: The prompt will not come if the user will install VS 2005 SP1 on his machine.

===================================================================================== 3M RFID user password gets updated during the upgrade from 2.11 to 3.xx.xxx.x A new 3M RFID user password does not get updated in XML during the upgrade if the database is installed/upgraded along with the System Manager and Pad Monitor. If a new database is created during upgrade of System Manager and Pad Monitor, the user will need to change the configuration of those components after configuration. This is because those components preserve their settings during upgrade scenario and will keep pointing to the old DB and settings. Solution: Open the XML file from the ProgramData folder and manually enter the new password in the FTCommonConfiguration.XML as following: “Enter the new password here”

===================================================================================== The 3M RFID user password does not get updated in the restored database. Database connection issue using 3M RFID User for a restored database This is the default behavior of SQL Server user, SQL user needs to be added in respective database to access the db resource. Solution: You need to run a SQL Command to solve this issue: Login to SQL using the sa account or with a Windows Administrator account and run the following code:

USE [3M_RFID_DB] EXEC sp_dropuser RFID3M_USER EXEC sp_adduser RFID3M_USER EXEC sp_addrolemember 'RFID3M_USER_ROLE','RFID3M_USER'
