KBA-01678: Version Update Procedure for Acumatica ERP

Question:

My sfPMS Site is integrated to Acumatica.  How do we upgrade the Acumatica version?

Answer:

Here is our recommended best practice:

1. On the sfPMS IIS server, open an admin command window and NET STOP sfATC (or use the Windows Server Services UI).
2. If necessary, first update sfPMS to a version that supports the new version of Acumatica.  (See KBA- 01650)
3. Important: In Acumatica, if you have published a version of the Spitfire Integration customization you must uninstall this customization and reinstall again after the upgrade.  This is an Acumatica requirement for all customization.
4. Update Acumatica.
5. Back on the sfPMS IIS server, open ICTool:
   1. Got to ICTool’s XTS Setup tab.
   2. Verify that the Partner ID drop down is ACE21S for Construction Edition or ASE21S for Standard Edition
   3. Review/Set Partner ASM, using ASE or ACE and the version number
      1. Spitfire.ATCXtsACE23.AcumaticaXTS
   4. Similarly, the loaded from field should have the same root and end in .DLL
      1. Spitfire.ATCXtsACE23.DLL
   5. Click Edit XTS Config;
      1. Change all A4 rows to A21
      2. Find (or add) a row with WS.Version | C | -1 | 23.107 The Value on this row should be your new Acumatica version.  Be sure to include any zeros – they matter!
   6. Remember to save and then close the form.
   7. Go to the FINISH tab and publish sfPMS as usual.
6. Since you manually did a NET STOP, now NET START sfATC.
7. In Acumatica, republish the Spitfire Customization (or AR sync will fail)
