Updating the Local Test Server

23rd April 2016

If you’ve recently updated your EBI / Clarify Studio to the latest version, you may be required to update the Local Test Server for local testing.  Studio and Server environments must be on the same version, and is recommended to update all environments when new updates are available.

Updating your Local Test Server, and other EBI Server environments, such as Production and Test, can easily be accomplished with an internet connection in a few moments.  

If you’ve already updated the EBI Studio, you may receive an incompatibility warning, as shown below.

You can find the version of your Local Test Server by starting the Local Test Server and selecting the View Server Information button in the toolbar, pictured below.

And a dialog box will display with the Local Test Server information, including version and license content.

EBI Clarify Server Version

Our Local Test Server is on Version 4.1.0, however, our EBI Studio is on Version 4.3.0.  Our Local Test Server must be updated to match the version of our Studio.  To update, follow these steps.

1.  Start your Local Test Server.  Once it is started, you must Suspend your Local Test Server by selecting the Suspend Server button in the toolbar, as shown below.

5.  You may receive a popup in regards to increasing the minor version number for your EBI Studio, which also may require a subsequent update to the EBI Server.  It is recommended to also follow these steps to update your additional EBI Servers, such as Test and Production.  

When the installation has successfully completed, the Local Test Server will automatically shut down and must be manually started again by accessing the EBI Server environment itself. This is especially important for your EBI Production Server, as it must be started from that system and cannot be started through the EBI Studio.  Select Yes to proceed with the update.
