ePDM Service Pack Upgrade

For anyone looking to do a service pack upgrade, it's not nearly as involved as upgrading to a new major revision. Here are the basic steps

• Download SP files to folder accessible to both Archive and Database server
• Check in all documents
• Make sure everyone is out of Enterprise
• Back up the SQL Database 
• Back up the Archive server's "vault data" folder
• Upgrade the Archive server installation (requires reboot)
• Upgrade Database server, you'll need name of server, ex: (local) and sa password (requires reboot)
• From Database server, open Upgrade/Upgrade.exe from SP folder location
• In the admin tool, if your vault shows a red plus, right click and select upgrade.
• Upgrade client installs

That's it!
