• Vault Professional 2019

Inventor:

• Inventor 2019

• AutoCAD 2019

• All clients and servers should be upgraded at the same time to the Vault 2019.1 Update
• Depending on how your UAC is configured on Windows 7 or later operating systems, users may need to turn off User Access Control (UAC) to install the Update
• To install the Update, Administrative privileges are required
• When creating deployment in silent mode or modifying it, you can add the Vault Update EXE file into the deployment image through "Include additional software". Note: the "/quiet" command parameter is needed to suppress the full UI of Vault Update installer
• The Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Client).exe, Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Server).exe and Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(File_Server).exe are EXE wrappers. You can use <Full Path to Exe> /e <Folder to Extract> to extract its content. For e.g. “C:\Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Client).exe” /e “C:\Extract”. The contents will be extracted to "C:\Extract".

CLIENT INSTALLATION

WARNING: In case of Vault Client side by side installation of different editions for same release, make sure that every Add-in is enabled ONLY in one of Vault client edition. If you face issue installing the client update; remove the Add-in which is enabled in more than one edition, from all the Vault client editions. Install Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Client). And finally enable the Add-in in one edition.

• Run "Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Client).exe" on the each workstation which has a Vault client installed.
• If different editions of the same release of the Vault client are installed side by side, all editions will be upgraded to Vault 2019.1 at the same time. There will only be one entry of Vault 2019.1 Update in the Programs and Features for all editions. When the Vault 2019.1 Update is uninstalled, all the editions will roll back to previous version.
• Ensure the latest updates or fixes of all CAD applications are installed before applying this Update.
• User may be asked to restart the workstation on which Vault client is installed, after installing OR uninstalling the Vault 2019.1 client update.
• If Vault Data Standard 2019 (Inventor/AutoCAD/Vault Client) is installed, the same will be upgraded as well to 2019.1 Update with the client update installer. If you want to rollback Data Standard back to 2019 RTM version, you need to uninstall the Data Standard 2019.1 and install RTM version from Vault 2019RTM.

SERVER INSTALLATION

WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions properly may result in unusable sites.

NOTE: Always ensure that a successful backup has been performed before applying any updates.

SINGLE SITE

Update Installation

1. Reset the web service on the Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) by typing 'IISRESET' at a command prompt.
2. Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Server).exe' on the server to install the update.
3. Open the ADMS Console and migrate all un-migrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
• NOTE: It may be necessary to detach an un-migrated database if the update addresses a migration problem.

MULTI SITE (File Replication)

Update Installation – applied to every Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS).

1. Reset the web service by typing 'IISRESET' at a server command prompt.
2. Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Server).exe' on an ADMS server to install the update.
3. Repeat the preceding steps for every ADMS server.
4. Open one ADMS Console and migrate all unmigrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
   NOTE: It may be necessary to detach an un-migrated database if the update addresses a migration problem.

Database Update – applied ONCE from ONE Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS).

WARNING: DO NOT PROCEED until the update has been successfully applied on ALL ADMS servers.

CONNECTED WORKGROUP (File and SQL Replication)

Update Installation – applied to every Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) in all workgroups.

1. Reset the web service by typing 'IISRESET' at a server command prompt.
2. Run 'Autodesk_Vault_2019.1_Update_(Server).exe' on an ADMS server to install the update.
3. Repeat the preceding steps for every ADMS server in all workgroups.
4. Open one ADMS Console on the Publisher workgroup and migrate all un-migrated databases and libraries before proceeding.
   • NOTE: It may be necessary to detach an un-migrated database if the update addresses a migration problem.

Database Update – applied ONCE from ONE Autodesk Data Management Server (ADMS) on the Publisher workgroup ONLY.

WARNING: DO NOT PROCEED until the update has been successfully applied on ALL ADMS servers in all workgroups.

5. Ensure that all workgroups are online and accessible before proceeding. Do not proceed until the Replication Status | Merge Information dialog shows "Waiting 60 second(s) before polling for further changes." for each replicated vault and library.
6. If necessary, open ADMS Console and attach any previously detached databases.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Server installation may end with an Error - 'Installation ended prematurely because of an error'. You can resolve this error by running the installer from an Administrator command prompt.
• Uninstalling Vault 2019.1 Update client update may seek the 2019 RTM client install media. Please note that the uninstall action needs the original files to roll back to the previous version.
• Known Issues with 'Share View' feature:
• For 3D .dwg files, the Shared View available on the Autodesk Viewer is a 2D view.
• Autodesk Account 'Sign In' dropdown options are not updated to reflect the correct status, after successful login from 'Share View' command OR from 'Shared View' panel. Relaunching Vault client will reflect the correct dropdown options.
• If you have installed Autodesk Vault 2019.1 Beta (for Client), and if you are installing 2019.1 update, you might see Error 1328. Reinstalling Autodesk Vault 2019 RTM first before installing Vault 2019.1 update will help resolve the issue.
• Install Update will clear customize Main Menu and Toolbar settings on the user client machine.
• Window update 'KB2533623' for Windows 7 needs to be installed on the system where user has configured the Job processor and Vault client, otherwise an error is seen when user tries the update view using Job processor.
• Inventor Application Options customized settings will take effect only when Inventor is used for update view. Publishing using Vault client will use default settings.
• Vault Data Standard: (VDS)
• Vault custom validation functions: To avoid closed loops while debugging custom validation functions don’t use the $dsInspect() method. Enable tracing for the code to investigate instead using $dsTrace() and activate the log window.
• Designing of VDS dialogs in Visual Studio requires assemblies from VDS. You might run into design error when you add reference to the VDS assemblies. From 2019 onwards, the Visual Studio project should target the "x64" architecture to be able to consume the dataStandard.UI.dll assembly. Visual Studio might give you a warning in the Error window tab, in case of a mismatch.
