How To: Upgrade the Web Theme

Before upgrading please take a backup of your existing DriveWorks Live theme folder.

Any modifications made to existing files can then be replicated in the new Theme structure.

Minor Version Upgrade

When installing a new minor version (for example upgrading from SP0 to SP1), all system files will be updated.

Any customizations copied into the custom folder (C:\ProgramData\DriveWorks\<Version>\Live\Themes\Web\content\custom) will remain as they were.

Major Version Upgrade

When installing a new major version (for example upgrading from DriveWorks 20 SP3 to DriveWorks 21 SP0), a new folder will be installed.

Any customizations made in the previous version custom folder:

C:\ProgramData\DriveWorks\<OLD Version>\Live\Themes\Web\content\custom

Should be copied to the new version custom folder:

C:\ProgramData\DriveWorks\<New Major Version>\Live\Themes\Web\content\custom

Hosting the Web Theme in IIS with DriveWorks 23 (and onwards)

From DriveWorks 23 shared groups require the protocol, machine name and port number of the Pro Server machine to establish a connection.

When hosting the Web Theme through IIS this is defined in the DriveWorks.config file.

See Group Connection Strings for more information.
