-This page describes the process for installing and updating Bizweaver. The basic installation of Bizweaver will typically take 15 minutes or less.
+====== Installation & Upgrade ======
-<WRAP center round info>
 Installation and updates follow the same set of steps. The only difference is that the Server Configuration values defined in a previous installation will automatically be displayed in an update. The values can be used by clicking [**Next**] to continue.
-</WRAP>
-====== Preparation ======
-==== HANA Database Connections ====
-  * __SAP HANA Client__ should be installed on the machine where Bizweaver is installed **if** you will be connecting to a HANA database to retrieve information.
-<WRAP center round alert 50%>
-HANA client change beginning with Bizweaver 2.5.8.
-</WRAP>
-Beginning with Bizweaver 2.5.8, HANA Client v2.4.167 must be installed on the Versago server.  You can download the installation package from https://portal.twbs.com. **This client is also used for Versago.**
-This application's installation process is slightly different from "normal," so please follow the instructions.
-  * Create a folder named "TWBS" in C:\Program Files if it does not exist.
-  * Extract the HANA client installation package from the download .zip archive.
-  * Place the HANA client installation in the C:\Program Files\TWBS folder.
-  * Move to the HANA client folder (C:\Program Files\TWBS\SAP_HANA_CLIENT).
-  * Right-click on "hdbsetup.exe" and select the "Run as administrator" option.
-  * Click the "Install new SAP HANA database client" option.
-  * Select "C:\Program Files\TWBS\SAP_HANA_CLIENT" as the installation location.
-  * Click <Next> to move through the installation wizard
-**The installation package should remain in this folder.  Removing it will cause issues with some Versago and Bizweaver functionality.**
-===== Information You Will Need =====
-  * The server's name/IP address where the SQL Server database is found or will be created.
-  * The user name & password for a SQL Server user with database administrator security.
-    * Third Wave recommends that a specific user be created for Versago and Bizweaver rather than using the ‘sa’ (system administrator) user.
-===== Pre-install Activities =====
-  * Confirm that your SAP Business One Site ID is set up in Third Wave’s system. This value is used for licensing. You can check to see if it is set up on the TWBS portal (https:%%//%%portal.twbs.com).
-===== Confirm Environment Requirements =====
-  * Review server, server software, and IIS requirements <color #ed1c24>**>>** </color>**//[[bw2:bizweaver_environment_requirements|here]]//**.  Pay particular attention to the required version of Microsoft .Net Framework.
-  * Obtain the Bizweaver installation package, which is provided by Third Wave.
-===== Product License =====
-The Bizweaver license is generated automatically. There are two requirements for the licensing process.
-  * Your SAP Installation ID must be on file in the Third Wave Business Systems license system.
-  * An active Internet connection to allow communication with the Third Wave license server.  The connection must allow access to **https://license.twbs.com:443**.

 ====== Upgrading Bizweaver ======
-<WRAP center round alert 90%>
+<WRAP center round alert 80%>
 Be sure that all instances of the Bizweaver application are ended before beginning the update.  You can check this using the Windows Task Manager > Users tab.  <color #ed1c24>**Do not begin the upgrade if any instances are open**</color>.
 </WRAP>
-<WRAP center round important 90%>
+<WRAP center round tip 80%>
-A direct upgrade for installations ** before version 91.1.0.138** is not supported. In these cases, uninstall Bizweaver using the standard Windows uninstall process. Then install the new version of Bizweaver as described above.
+If Bizweaver will be upraded into a new environment, you must install the original version of Bizweaver in the new environment and then execute the upgrade
+</WRAP>
-If you have Bizweaver versions **between 91.1.0.157 and 91.1.0.159** (inclusive), you should do the following (in this sequence)

 To upgrade Bizweaver, follow the installation instructions as outlined above. Bizweaver workflows are stored in the database so that they will remain intact during the upgrade process.
 === Bizweaver Workflow Upgrade Wizard ===
-Beginning in Bizweaver 2.5.17, a wizard will run after the upgrade completes. This wizard opens and saves each workflow to update any tools that have been upgraded in the newest release of Bizweaver.

   * Check the **Bizweaver Service** service and confirm that the designated domain user described in the environmental requirements is still in place.  Reset the user if it is not.
+====== Windows Service ======
+The **Bizweaver Service** uses the “Local System” user by default.
+A domain user specifically defined for this purpose should always be used for this service with the following characteristics:
+  * Security to access any local and shared folders that may be used in Bizweaver processing.
+  * Access to any applications (e.g. FTP client) that may be used in Bizweaver processing.
+  * The password should be set to "Never Expire".
 ====== Removing Bizweaver ======
@@ Line 172: / Line 129: @@
 Uninstall Bizweaver via the standard Windows uninstall process in “Programs and Features” in Control Panel.
-  * For versions before 91.1.0.157, uninstall the program “Bizweaver.”
+  * Uninstall the programs “BWPortal” and “Bizweaver.”
-  * Beginning with v91.1.0.157, uninstall the programs “BWPortal” and “Bizweaver.”
   * Remove the IIS website “BW Service.”
   * Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Bizweaver
   * Delete the folder C:\ProgramData\Bizweaver
-====== File System and SQL Server Access ======
-===== Windows Services  =====
-Bizweaver utilizes two Windows services. These are **Bizweaver Service** and, in SQL SAP Business One environments, **SAP Business One DI Server**. By default, both services use the “Local System” user.
-A domain user specifically defined for this purpose should always be used for these services.  Information about configuring this user is found **//[[https://wiki.twbs.com/doku.php/bw2/bizweaver_environment_requirements#bizweaver_user|here]]//**.
-===== File System =====
-  * Log files are written to C:\ProgramData\Bizweaver. The application must have read & write access to this location.
-===== SQL Server =====
-There are two points where a connection to SQL Server is used.
-  * First is in the core configuration described in this document. This is needed, at a minimum, to create the various database objects used by Bizweaver
-  * Second is in the Global Configuration function.
-  * Both points require the use of a user/password for login. **Windows authentication is not supported**.
-The SQL user needs full access (read, write, execute) for the following tables:
-  * Whatever database is designated in the installation process
-  * VersagoData (or whatever database is designated for use with Versago Forms)
-  * Any SAP Business One databases to be accessed
-=====Configure SQL Server for Web Service Calls======
-In many SQL environments, it is desirable to use the Bizweaver API to initiate a Bizweaver workflow.  A common example is when something occurs in SAP Business One.
-To support this type of processing, some configuration in SQL Server is required.  The configuration process is outlined **//[[bw2/SQLWS_Config|here]]//**.
