I want to correctly update the system function in a DMS.
What is the correct procedure for this?
I know it’s something in the line of “copy the Functions.xml file to C:\Skyline DataMiner\ServiceManager and reboot”. But do I need to copy it to all of my agents and reboot them?
Also, I know there is a Windows update coming up on the system, could I copy the file to 1 agent (or if needed, I could put it on all of them) and wait for that reboot? Or should I reboot immediately?
Hi Timothy,
I would advise you to use the SRM_ExportFunctions automation script, which’s part of the Standard SRM solution. This will allow you to generate function packages, which can be deployed through the system center or by using the taskbar utility.
Just to refer to this other similar question where I had a solution via an automation script that allowed me to update a System function in the DMS.
Indeed but unfortunately, that method is based on the fact that you’re able to generate a package from another server, or if you created a backup from the same server in the past (which we didn’t have). The second comment on the reply from Ive was the answer I needed.
For completeness, if you don’t have a system where the system function can be exported from, you will need to edit the “C:Skyline DataMinerServiceManagerFunctions.xml” and restart the DataMiner afterward.
