Important information before upgrading

Upgrading from Perfion 4.5 2019 R1 or older

If you are upgrading from Perfion 4.5 2019 R1 or older to Perfion 4.6 2019 R3 SR1, the new version introduces changes to the database structure. As a result, the database installer must be run before client applications are updated, and all client applications must be updated simultaneously. Perfion strongly advises storing a database backup before the upgrade takes place.

Perfion API And Perfion ERP Add-in for Dynamics NAV must be updated as well (if in use). And if you have built custom integrations using the Perfion DLL’s, these must be recompiled with the new DLL’s.

Upgrading from Perfion 4.6 2019 R2

If you are upgrading from Perfion 4.6 2019 R2 to Perfion 4.6 2019 R3 SR1, the new version does not require a database upgrade. It is however important that you upgrade all clients to 2019 R3 at the same time. It is not recommended to run 2019 R3-clients alongside 2019 R2-clients (or older), as the old clients will misbehave in certain situations.

Perfion API And Perfion ERP Add-in for Dynamics NAV must be updated as well (if in use). And if you have built custom integrations using the Perfion DLL’s, these must be recompiled with the new DLL’s.

Upgrading from Perfion 4.6 2019 R3 (build 4.6.9 - 4.6.13)

If you are upgrading from Perfion 4.6 2019 R3 (build 4.6.9 - 4.6.11) to Perfion 4.6 2019 R3 SR1 (build 4.6.13), you only have to upgrade Perfion clients. You do not need to upgrade all clients at the same time.
