Introduction

Starting with Relais 2016, a single build is used for all Relais products. At the beginning of the install/upgrade, you will be prompted to identify the product you use.  The update will apply only those changes relevant to the product you select.

For Relais D2D customers select the Relais D2D option from the list of products when installing/upgrading to Relais 2016.

Relais 2016 also includes auto-update software that will be installed on each workstation. This allows Relais to issue updates about which customers can be notified automatically.  Once the notification is received the update can be downloaded and applied.

Post install steps for new workstation installations

1. Once the install is completed, copy your group's Relais.ini file into your destination folder.
   •  A link to download the Relais.ini will be provided to you via an email.
2. Run CreateODBC.exe (found in your group's destination folder).
   • This utility reads the Relais.ini and uses the database settings to create an ODBC connection to the Relais database
   • Ensure you have copied in your Relais.ini prior to running Create ODBC.exe

If you use the default Windows “SQL Server” driver  to create the windows ODBC connection after installing 2016.x,  ensure that the “UseEncryption” option is set to N in your Relais.ini.

If you wish to enable the encryption of the database connection you must select a Native SQL server driver from the list of potential drivers when running the CreateODBC application. More information can be found on the Relais 2016.x install and upgrade page.

Install/update all remaining workstations

Repeat Downloading and unzipping Relais 2016.x through Post install steps for new workstation installations for each workstation depending on if you are upgrading or installing a new workstation.  Select Relais D2D from the product list.
