# Upgrading King Task Centre

When you wish to upgrade the version of King Task Centre that you have currently installed, either to provide new features and functionality or to resolve an issue, the process is simplified through a Windows Installer-based wizard which automates the upgrade process.

The sequence of upgrade steps is provided below.

Upgrade

The Upgrade dialog box is the first dialog box displayed when upgrading King Task Centre.

Click on the Yes button to start the upgrade.

A dialog box containing a progress bar will pop up for a short time to advise that the InstallShield Wizard is being prepared.

The Setup Status screen is then displayed.

Setup Status

The Setup Status screen provides a progress bar which indicates the status of the product upgrade.

The upgrade may be stopped at any time by clicking on the Cancel button.

Once the upgrade is complete the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen is displayed.

InstallShield Wizard Complete

When the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen is displayed, this indicates that the King Task Centre upgrade has been successfully completed.

The Check product configuration after installation closes option check box is selected by default. Clear this option if you wish to check the product configuration at a later date.

Click on the Finish button. The InstallShield Wizard screen will close and theUsing the Configurator application will launch and be displayed if you have not deselected that option.

Once the upgrade has been completed, if you have left the Check product configuration after installation closes option checked then the King Task Centre Configurator application will automatically be launched. It is recommended that you check the configuration of the installed features after performing an upgrade installed to ensure that they are still correct.

## Truncating the Log Store

If your King Task Centre log files are large, the next maintenance run may take a long time. You can avoid this by truncating the log store manually and the steps to take to achieve this are provided below.

NOTE:

The manual purge process deletes all log entries from the Log store. If you wish to keep the entries for the last few days then you will have to wait for the next scheduled maintenance to run.

1. Manually stop the King Task Centre Server
2. Connect to the SQL Server on which the King Task Centre database is located
3. Ensure that the database context is set to the King Task Centre store i.e. TCDatabase
4. Back up the King Task Centre database
5. Run the following commands:
   1. `truncate table iwsysdta`
   2. `truncate table iwdtaidx`
   3. `truncate table iwdtaseq`
6. Ensure that all the commands have run successfully
7. Manually restart the King Task Centre Server
