SilhouetteCentral Upgrade

In order to upgrade extract the contents of the SilhouetteCentral ZIP file and replace the existing contents in inetpub wwwroot folder (refer to SilhouetteCentral Installation instructions for how the exact folder paths are specified/ described).

• Shutdown the IIS App Pool before extracting the files, then restart it after the files are copied across.
• Before extracting the new files make sure you delete everything except the "Files" folder (the "Files" folder contains all of the configuration and patient data).

After installation, it is possible a "database is upgrading" screen is displayed as the existing database content is converted to the newer format. SilhouetteCentral is not accessible to any users while the database is upgrading.

Likewise after the database upgrade page dismisses itself automatically you may be placed part way through the configuration wizard as described previously. If this occurs it means that additional mandatory configuration (or options) have been added in the later version.

Specify the settings, as required and click Next -> Next -> Next, etc. to complete the wizard (the wizard is automatically populated with all originally specified information).

After an upgrade which changes the major version number (e.g. v3 to v4) then the system settings should be reviewed for desired configuration, e.g. users, groups, units, notes definitions, etc.

Versions

The method specified above can be used to upgrade SilhouetteCentral from any version greater than v3.10.

Upgrading from v3.x to v4.3 is a major upgrade and the following points need consideration. If you have any queries or concerns please contact ARANZ Medical Limited before upgrading, at: support@aranzmedical.com

• For versions prior to v3.10 of the software, it is recommended that a customer support representative be contacted to assist with this process.
• Tissue Type Classification feature is not available in v4.3. Any tissue type outlines need to be segregated in the data before upgrading.
• The storage format of the image captured date is converted based on the Default Timezone specified in the Organization Settings. As such, you should verify that the Default Timezone setting is correct prior to starting the upgrade. If an adjustment has to be made, then synced the change to all SilhouetteConnect devices before proceeding with the upgrade.

The automatic upgrade process assumes that all image capture dates are from a single timezone. If data should be split into multiple timezones this needs to be performed by a customer support representative.

• Data consistency issues (e.g. duplicate wound IDs for a single patient) this may cause upgrades to fail. These data consistency issues must be fixed before an upgrade can complete.
• SilhouetteLink is not compatible with v4.3.
