If you are upgrading EC Gateway, back up your executables and data in a backup directory before you begin your installation.
Back up all databases, custom schedule scripts, FTP scripts, pfs/Async scripts, ini files, and process scripts. This protects your EC Gateway should a difficulty occur during the upgrade installation.
If your EC Gateway is resident in the default directory …\ecedigs, you can use Windows Explorer or a DOS command to save the entire contents of ecedigs to a backup directory within ecedigs, for example:
drive\ecedigs\backup
One of the most important files to back up is eeserver.mdb. This file contains data controlling the operation of your scripts.
If your data is stored in a directory other than the default, on the same or other machines, back up the databases holding the data. Back up data used by EC Gateway. Your system administrator should also back up the EC Gateway executables.
If you are upgrading to Distinct version 5.1, and if
you have an older version of Distinct VIT runtime, delete the old
version before you begin the EC Gateway installation.
