MAPS and Argos Updates

Some of the updates to Argos require corresponding updates to MAPS. We recommend upgrading both products to the latest version concurrently. This guide contains a description of both MAPS and Argos changes.

Product versions

The latest versions of MAPS and Argos included in this release are:

Argos mapplet 4.2.3.337 / Argos client 4.2.3.644
MAPS Service 4.2.3.757 / Configuration Tool 4.2.3.217

Installation

1. Prepare test environment and ensure current backup

We highly recommend installing updates in a test environment before applying them to your production environment. You should make sure that a current backup is available in case of any unforeseen issues.

2. Check for updates

To install Argos and MAPS 4.2.3, click the Check for Updates button in the MAPS Configuration tool to view available updates. Note: If you are not already running Argos and MAPS 4.x, please refer to the Argos 4.0 Release Guide for additional upgrade information.

3. Allow update process to complete

When applying updates to the MAPS service you will be temporarily disconnected from the server. Do not manually restart the server during this process, as you will be reconnected automatically when the update has been applied.

4. Verify the latest version is installed

To ensure that you are on the most current version, continue clicking the Check for Updates button and applying the updates until no new updates are available.

Please Provide Us with Your Feedback!

As always, we welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have. We very much appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, so keep the great ideas coming!

It is possible to apply updates when users are on the system; however, to avoid the possibility of losing unsaved work we recommend applying updates during off hours.
