- Run the manager station, add the cash server, license it, and add a cash station;
- Run the cash server;
- Run the cash station;
- Install MS SQL Server 2012 and configure the connection between RK7 and the database managed by MS SQL Server 2012.
Detailed description
1. Copy the installer package archive from the FTP server (ftp://ftp.ucs.ru/rk7/versions/). The archive name indicates its version. If you do not know which version to install, it is better to install the penultimate one or contact the UCS support service.
2. Unpack the archive and remove the read-only attribute on the whole package including the sub-folders and files. Add the folder containing r_keeper software to your antivirus exclusions. Further on run all applications as administrator.
3. Copy the INI files from the /BIN/WIN/INI folder to the /BIN/WIN folder. Download the RAL.dat file from the licensing website (http://l.ucs.ru/ral.dat) and place it into the /BASE/ folder of the distribution kit. This file allows signing into the manager station as a dealer having unlimited rights, that is important for licensing.

Upgrading Procedure
| Warning |
|---|
Important! Downgrading is impossible! |
| Note |
|---|
Important! If |
...
r_keeper 7 modules were installed |
...
via the installer individually (each module has its own |
...
instance) or one |
...
instance was installed for several modules, upgrades must also be performed via the installer and using a relevant |
...
instance. |
...
1. Close all the stations (including the manager station) and stop all the servers. If servers function as services, stop them.
- To stop a
...
- reference server run as service, you can use the Windows tools or enter "net stop RKeeperRefServer" in the command line.
- To stop a
...
- reference server run as a standard app, it is enough to
...
- click Shutdown in the main window (or in the
...
- popup icon menu
...
- in the tray).
2. It is recommended to perform an upgrade after closing a
...
common shift.
3. Before upgrading, it is recommended to make an archive copy of the entire /RK7/ folder or at least copies of databases from the
...
\base\ and \midbase\ folders.
4. Copy the folders from the new distribution
...
kit (base,bin) and replace all the existing folders in the folder containing the RK7 version to be upgraded. If you have made changes
...
in the wincash.bat file, do not replace it or replace it after acting on par.
...
2 but first compare the contents and make necessary adjustments if required.
- Go to base\drvlocalize and run Defparam.exe by selecting defparams.rus or a file for another language from the list (for versions below 7.5.2.269, see readme.txt in the same folder). New default driver settings will be added. This is particularly important for adding new universal
...
- fiscal register drivers. All the existing defparams.ini contents will be saved.
5. Please pay special attention to translation files. If needed, it is possible to perform additional translation.
6. Launch the
...
reference server. When upgrading, it is recommended to launch all servers as services so that you can see errors if they appear (refsrv.exe/desktop). Wait for the server to upgrade (for the icon in the tray to turn green), then launch the report servers (if any) and wait for them to upgrade, too.
| Note |
|---|
Important! Once the server(s) |
...
is upgraded, be sure to restart the |
...
reference server and report servers if they are used. |
7. Then launch the
...
cash servers and wait for them to upgrade.
8. At
...
cash stations, everything will upgrade automatically
...
.
...
This includes downloading
...
modules that are considered mandatory and modules selected on the
...
«Devices» page of the
...
«Stations and
...
Devices» reference at the
...
manager station.
If the station configuration is changed, dll files are downloaded when the station is launched next time. When a new version is found, the
...
cash server will upgrade and restart.
9. To upgrade a manager station, it should be run
...
via rk7man.bat.
Upgrades
...
starting from
...
versions 7.4.21.Х
- Stop the directory reference server;
- Upgrade from your 7.4.21.Х to the latest 7.4.21.Х;
- Launch the directory reference server;
- Stop the directory reference server;
- Upgrade from your 7.4.21.Х to the latest 7.5.2.Х;
- Launch the directory reference server.
The principle is the same for upgrading to 7.5.3.Х and the subsequent version ranges.
The procedure is as follows:
- Upgrade your version to the latest in the range;
- Launch the directory reference server;
- Once the directory reference server icon turns green, stop (export) the directory reference server;
- Upgrade RK7 to the latest version of the subsequent range;
- If you need to upgrade to later versions, return to par. 2. If there is no need to upgrade any further, this is the end of instructions.
Upgrading
...
via the
...
automatic installer
To upgrade from the automatic installer, it is required that the previous version is also installed from via the installer.
In practice, the most common situation is when installation was performed from via Standalone, but the upgrade is needed should be performed from Setup.exe.
In this case, you can do the following: install a new R-Keeper r_keeper v.7 version from via the installer and add the old databases (rk7.udb, check.udb) to the new installation. But remember that it is impossible to skip versions, so maybe you will first have to perform a standard R-Keeper r_keeper upgrade.
If it is impossible to use setup.exe because of an OS type incompatibility, you can decompress unpack setup.exe using third-party software to take get the required files (not recommended).
* Servers can be launched as apps or services.
| Info |
|---|
Attention On the first launch, run servers as applications with the /desktop key. This way you will be able to monitor server operations by the icon color in the tray. |
To run servers as applications, you can create shortcuts desktop icons for refsrv.exe and midserv.exe programs and place them to in the startup. In this case you should add the /Desktop key to the parameter string to launch servers. For example: "D«D:\UCS\RK7\refsrv.exe /desktop"desktop».
To install relevant required services, run the executable service files with the /install key or just run the .exe file and in the window that appears press the Yes button click Yes to agree to install a service. By default, created services have are of the autorun type. This does not require users to log in to the system to launch the servers. If a service needs to be started or stopped manually, you should use the Windows tools or the net console command with the start/stop key. For example:
- net stop RKeeperRefServer
- net start RKeeperMidServer
