Steps to Follow When the Update is Complete

Perform the following steps when the new deployment is complete, but before making the applications available to the users.

  1. Run a Database Verification.
    This step verifies that the stored procedures are valid, it verifies the database tables and ensures that there are no errors in the database structure. It rebuilds the user and system validation table and verifies the table indexes. Refer to the Govern New Administrator (GNA) documentation for further details.
  2. Launch the Govern Scheduler and restart the Scheduler Service. Ensure that no one is running a scheduled batch process when you perform this step. The Scheduler Service automatically checks for new batch process and updates the existing ones at startup. It automatically updates the Govern Scheduler application. Refer to the Govern Scheduler guide for further details.
  3. Define the Report Configuration parameters in GNA. See the following section.

    Binaries > REPORT: This folder contains a sub-folder for each release and version that you have downloaded. The reports that downloaded with each version are found in the sub-folder

What’s New

Pre-release versions of the Govern application can contain features that are in the current branch for early testing in our clients’ production environments. Although still in active development, they are supported. These versions can be downloaded for creating deployments. Click here for details.

Govern Release Notes

Govern Release Notes can now be found through the DeployEZ application. As an administrator, when you are downloading Govern binaries, links to view associated release notes will be displayed. It will be necessary to ensure that you are updated to the latest version of DeployEZ. Click here for details.

Govern DeployEZ has a whole new look and feel compared to version 5.1 and prior. It is now a ClickOnce application. It is maintained on a Web server and installed from a Web link. Whenever you launch the application from your computer, a verification is made, and if a more recent version exists, it is used. This ensures that all users have the latest version and all the latest features of DeployEZ.

DeployEZ is not tied to any one Govern OpenForms release. You can use it to install any version of any application. When creating a deployment directory for Govern DeployEZ, you are required to use the UNC format. If you try to enter a drive name in a mapped drive, an error occurs and you are unable to continue:
[Version 6.0.0.58] Prior to this version a folder called MS Govern was created in the deployment server root directory. This folder is no longer needed and can be deleted.
