1. About This Patch

This cumulative patch is a roll up of fixes & improvements since the release of Experion HS R400.1/R400 Server Patch 3 and includes all fixes included in these.

1.1 Microsoft Security Updates

Microsoft often issues security updates that are critical to Honeywell’s products. Once a security Update is made available by Microsoft, Honeywell will assess its impact on its products and issue a position to install or hold-back. Honeywell's goal is to qualify the applicable Update(s) within 7 days of the Microsoft release notification date. Honeywell strongly recommends that customers apply the Honeywell qualified security updates that are applicable to your implementation. Honeywell posts the security updates test results and applicability at the following link:

Windows Explorer and double-click the software patch package icon. The software patch installer will start and a WinZip Self-Extractor dialog appears.

e) Click “Setup” after confirming the release number of the Server. f) A Command Prompt (MS-DOS) window will appear with the text Installing…

in the top left hand corner. g) Follow any on-screen instructions, including the entry of the password for the

local mngr account when prompted. h) A few seconds later an Installation Complete dialog will appear. It will list the

software components successfully installed. i) Click OK to close the dialog. j) Restart the node - see Note i) below for additional considerations.

Notes:

i) If applying multiple Server patches at the same time there is no need to reboot and synchronize the servers between each patch application. Perform this once after all Server patches have been applied.

ii) If the software patch installer reports that some programs must be closed before installing, click “OK” to accept this and let the installer to terminate these programs. Otherwise, click “Cancel” to abort installation.

iii) If the software patch installer reports that some software components could not be installed, before restarting the server, shutdown those components using Task Manager and re-run all steps of the software patch installation.

b) On the backup server, run the software patch installation procedure for a non-redundant server system, skipping the pre-installation steps (i.e. complete instructions b to h).

c) Synchronize primary and backup server databases d) Fail over the primary server to the backup server

The backup server will become primary and the primary server become backup.

e) Run the software patch installation procedure for a non-redundant server system on the new backup server, skipping the pre-installation steps (i.e. complete instructions b to h).

f) Synchronize primary and backup server databases g) Turn on file replication of the mapping files:

i) In Station, navigate to Configure > File Replication. Do not change the “Send” checkbox from this display.

ii) Click on the “mapping” entry. The configuration page for the “mapping” file replication entry will be displayed.

c) Click “Setup” after confirming the release number of the Server. d) A Command Prompt (MS-DOS) window will appear with the text Installing…

in the top left hand corner. A few seconds later an Installation Complete dialog will appear. It will list the software components successfully installed.

e) Click OK to close the dialog. Notes:

i) Flex Station installation log messages may indicate “Installation Failed” but then go on to not list any actual errors. If this is the case then the installation has been successful. See Section 3.1 for further details

ii) If the software patch installer reports that some programs must be closed before installing, click “OK” to accept this and let the installer to terminate these programs. Otherwise, click “Cancel” to abort installation.

iii) If the software patch installer reports that some software components could not be installed, before restarting the server, shutdown those components using Task Manager and re-run all steps of the software patch installation.

iv) Some software patches, for example system displays, will not require the user to stop the server. Instructions to this effect will be provided with the software patch if this is the case.

Please ensure you have followed the steps outlined in 1.3 Before you begin.
