From time to time new functionality or bug fixes may require IMan to be patched. This often means replacing file(s) either within the main installation folder or the addins folder for connectors.
Please use the following steps to apply patches. It is important that you follow the different steps for connector or core files as they are different.
Stopping IMan
-
Start the administration console and stop all the IMan services.
-
Stop the IMan IIS App Pool.
Steps for Connectors
What Are Connectors?
Connectors provide the integration with a specific application such as Sage, Magento, Salesforce, Concur, etc.
Connectors files have file names which are in the form
- Realisable.Connectors45.Sage300.dll
- Realisable.Connectors45.Sage200.2017.dll
- RealSW.Connectors45.Amazon.dll
- ECInternet.Connectors.Magento.dll
- Navigate to the addins folder for the IMan shared data. This is typically c:\IMan\addins
- Copy the existing file to an external directory as a backup. Do NOT rename files, move them out of the directory.
-
Ensure that any files being copied are unblocked.
Steps for Core Files
What Are Core Files
Core files are files which are not ‘connector’ files. These are common files are used by different aspects of IMan from UI to processing.
Core files have file names which are NOT in the form of connector files, basically everything else.
Please note the different directions for v4.1 vs v4.0 and earlier.
