====== eBiss 3 system update ======

The eBiss 3 system update includes the following steps:

==== 1. Download current eBiss 3 version from the Pranke website ====


  * Download the current eBiss 3 standard version from https://pranke.com/en/service-center/ebiss-updates/ebiss-version-3/


----

==== 2. Stop eBiss server service ====


  * Stop the service //"eBiss3 Server"// in the Windows service administration (services.msc).


----



==== 3. Backup eBiss database ====


  * Perform backup of eBiss database. \\
  * For **MSSQL** see: [[en:ueberblick:installation:konfiguration:updates:mssql|eBiss Update with MSSQL]]
  * A **//eBiss.DBCopy.exe//** is possible, but does not replace the database backup!


----




==== 3a. Backup copy of the eBiss directory - is not necessary ====
//Note:// This is an additional backup, so it is not necessary, the setup creates a backup.

  * Mark the complete directory with Ctrl+A ((An exception: The directory "MessageStore" and the log files (.log or /Log/*.log), should not be copied as well. Reason for this is that over the update the two folders are not overwritten. Thus no backup is necessary. ))
  * Copy & paste into a created backup folder of your choice 


----




==== 4. Run installer and follow instructions ====


  * Now you only have to execute the downloaded .exe file of the latest eBiss 3 version.
  * After clicking "Next" three times, you will be asked if you want to install a new eBiss system or update the existing system.
  * Here you choose //update// and follow the further steps:
