Upgrade ACP to a new release

Activate a new license for ACP3

If you are just activating a new subscription license for ACP3 then you can skip the downloading and installing. But you need to ensure that the database user can use the new license. The easiest way will normally be to launch Analytica as that user in a command prompt.

In a non admin command prompt cd to your Analytica install folder.

• CD "C:\Program Files\Lumina\Analytica 6.0"

Launch Desktop Analytica...

• .\Analytica

Activate your new license - you can refer to this page License Information dialog

• In the Help menu, select Update license and enter the license - Activation key you received from Lumina into the license field and press Enter.

Now Activate this license for your database user - substitute the user name on your server for ACPUser if necessary.

• RunAs /user:ACPUser .\Analytica
• When prompted, enter the password for ACPUser

• When Analytica launches, accept the terms and select the license in Desktop Analytica's Help->Update License dialog.
• Test that it saves this info by exiting and restarting, again as ACPUser, and checking the Help-Update License dialog.
• Now restart and test the Suan.exe application - see the sections below

Install/upgrade to a newer build of ACP3

Download and install the Analytica installer

• Download the Analytica release appropriate for your new ACP release, currently https://downloads.analytica.com/ANA6.0/AnaSetup6_0_4_184.exe
• Install this Analytica release build. Install to the default folder. Use your existing ACP3 or ACP3 w/optimizer license.
• Now you need to ensure your database user can use the Analytica license - In a non admin CMD prompt:

  CD "C:\Program Files\Lumina\Analytica 6.0"

  RunAs /user:ACPUser .\Analytica

• When prompted, enter the password for ACPUser
• When Analytica launches, accept the terms and select the license in Desktop Analytica's Help->Update License dialog
• Test that it saves this info by exiting and restarting, again as ACPUser, and checking the Help-Update License dialog.

Download files to be updated and copy then to your ACP installation

• Download these 2 Zip Archives, and extract them to replace the existing files on your current ACP installation.
  • ACP-Analytica0.34.zip contains files that need to be saved to C:\Program Files\Lumina\Analytica 6.0
    
    • Extract the files from the ACP-Analytica.zip.

1. Analytica.ini
2. suan.exe
3. libssl-3.dll
4. libcrypto-3.dll
5. SuanFirebaseAuth

• • • Save these files to C:\Program Files\Lumina\Analytica 6.0 (When prompted click yes to replace existing files)
      

• • ACP3-BetaBuild0.34.zip contains the ui directory with subdirectories Assets and Build. These folders need to replace the existing folders in D:\ACP\ui\
    

• Test this part
  • In D:\Acp\ui\Assets Session.config, Server.config, and SingleInstance.config files, in a text editor, temporarily set DesktopUI=1. Save the files.
  • In a non-admin CMD prompt:

    CD "c:\program files\lumina\Analytica 6.0"

    .\Suan.exe /config:d:\Acp\ui\assets\server.config

    Expected: An Analytica desktop instance should launch with an architecture drawing. It should stick around and not vanish.

  • In Chrome: http://localhost:8080

    Expected: Login page should appear

• Once this test succeeds:
  • Quit all Desktop Analytica instances
  • Edit both Server.config and Session.config and set:

    DesktopUI=0

Make any updates to the database

• Run: Analytica.exe "d:\Acp\ui\assets\Database alterations.ana"
• In the text input Updating from release number enter your release you are updating from eg. 0.22
• In the text input Updating to release number enter your release you are updating to eg. 0.34
• Press the output node Required alterations
• Look at the result for number of alterations to be applied. If more than 0 press the button Apply Alterations. Once you get a message the the alterations have been applied, of If no alterations need to be applied just close the model.

Restart Apache

In an elevated command prompt: C:\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -k restart

Restart the Suan.exe

• Launch task scheduler
• Select your scheduled task to launch acp at boot
• End all instances
• Run the task

Now you should have suan.exe running in task manager. If not there is something wrong with the configuration.

Test

Browse to your ACP instance and check to see that you can get to the user portal and log in.
