Upgrade the Mobile Data Collection app

Important

To avoid data corruption, make sure that all users have logged out of MDC before performing these upgrade steps.

For context, the following naming conventions are used:

  • old MDC: The old version MDC website you are upgrading.
  • new MDC: The new version of the MDC website.

Upgrade the app

  1. On the IIS server, stop the old MDC website.

  2. Create a backup folder anywhere on your system and copy the contents of the old MDC website folder to the new folder.

  3. Delete all files from the old MDC website folder. This folder should now be empty.

  4. Download and extract the new MDC files to the old MDC website folder.

  5. Copy the config.js file from the backup folder to the old MDC folder, replacing the existing file.

    Note

    At times there will be new settings introduced in the config.js file. You may need to update your existing config.js file with the new settings from the downloaded web files.

  6. Start the MDC website.

    Important

    Before using the upgraded website, make sure that you have also upgraded the MDC Business Central app as needed.
