SUMMARY

The new GINESYS V 11.100.1 is an installation pack and not just an update. Therefore, we need to understand the various scenarios and the types of installations that may be done with the new pack.

GINESYS v11.100.0 software is pretty easy to install and run if you follow the guide carefully. This page is the header page for an installation of GINESYS version 11.100.0 and contains links to lists of pre-requisites in terms of hardware/OS and software as well as the step by step installation. 

Migrating from previous versions creating a new database

You may wish to create a new Oracle 12c database in the interests of enhanced performance. In that case follow the steps given below to uninstall the previous database. 

1. You must uninstall the previous GINESYS version from Add/Remove Programmes.
2. Delete the GINESYS folder structure from the drive where you have installed it.
3. Delete all GINESYS related schedulers from the command prompt (cmd) with the command <<sc delete <name of scheduler>>>. The list of services run in GINESYS are given below:
   1. GINESYS Scheduler Service
   2. GINESYS SMS Service
   3. GINESYS Email Service
   4. GINESYS Licensing Service
   5. GINESYS Planning Service
4. Delete the previous ODAC (Oracle Data Access Components) 11g by executing the following steps:
   1. Open Command Prompt; remember to run it as Administrator.
   2. Locate the folder where ODAC has been installed (eg: c:\ODAC64).
   3. Once the cursor changes, run the command c:\ODAC64 uninstall.bat all odac (Note that “odac” over here is the home name, the same name used while installing ODAC). This uninstalls all the components.
5. Delete the previous ODAC (Oracle Data Access Components) 10g by executing the following steps:
   1. Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
   2. Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Oracle key. This contains registry entries for all Oracle products.
   3. If you are running 64-bit Windows, you should also delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Oracle key if it exists.
   4. Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*). It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
   5. Reboot your machine.
   6. Delete the "C:\Oracle" directory, or whatever directory is your ORACLE_BASE.
   7. Delete the "C:\Program Files\Oracle" directory.
   8. If you are running 64-bit Windows, you should also delete the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle" directory.
   9. Remove any Oracle-related subdirectories from the “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\" directory.
   10. Empty the contents of your "C:\temp" directory.

Migrating from previous versions keeping the existing database

Otherwise, if the existing 10g database has to be maintained, the 10g database can exist as it is, provided the OS involved is Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008.

1. Taking back-up (especially of environment variables) and checking it is mandatory; before uninstallation of software.
2. You must uninstall the previous GINESYS version from Add/Remove Programs.
3. Delete the GINESYS folder structure from the drive where you have installed it.
4. Delete all GINESYS related schedulers from the command prompt (cmd) with the command <<sc delete <name of scheduler>>>. The list of services run in GINESYS are given below:
   1. GINESYS Scheduler Service
   2. GINESYS SMS Service
   3. GINESYS Email Service
   4. GINESYS Licensing Service
   5. GINESYS Planning Service
5. Delete the previous ODAC (Oracle Data Access Components) 10g by executing the following steps:
   1. In the command prompt (cmd) type <<cd <drive where ODAC is existing>\ODAC64>>
   2. In the current drive i.e. <drive where ODAC is existing>\ODAC64 – type <<uninstall all ODAC>>
   3. Similarly change drive for ODAC32, and uninstall it.
6. Go to Regedit>>software>>wow64>>oracle and delete odp.net file
7. Restart the System
8. Run the Server Pack Setup from the CD
9. Run Getting Started
   1. Choose option “I have connected to an existing database”
   2. Ensure that your test connection is successful
10. Generate License request from license manager and mail key to license@gsl.in
11. Activate license from License Manager
    1. Search online for the key and accept and then check POS users
12. If you get a connection problem to the Primary Database then open the License manager and define the domain in the last tab.
13. Start the License service and wait for 30 seconds
14. Run HO AutoUpdate
    1. Stop all services from the Services and Processes tab
    2. Update till latest
15. Open software location
    1. Locate Webdb updater
    2. Run webdb update
16. Now your software is ready for use.
