Release Notes

see http://pranke.com/hilfe/doku.php?id=en:relnotes:start

It is necessary to stop eBiss server service during installation.
The installation should be done at a time when your system can be unavailable for the duration of the update.
You need an access ²⁾ to the server and database where the eBiss server service is installed.

¹⁾

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.
