SkyVault Outlook Integration 2.0

Upgrading from a previous version of SkyVault Outlook Integration

If you are upgrading to a new release of SkyVault Outlook Integration, uninstall the previous SkyVault AMPs and Outlook zip file.
These instructions show you how to upgrade your instance of SkyVault Outlook Integration.
  1. Stop the SkyVault server.
  2. Back up any custom folders and files that you have created.
  3. Uninstall the Outlook AMP files, using MMT (Module Management Tool).

    See Uninstalling an AMP file for instructions on how to uninstall AMP files.

    Delete the tomcat/webapps/SkyVault and tomcat/webapps/share folders before restarting SkyVault in step 6 to ensure that the new war files are exploded.

  4. Uninstall the SkyVault Outlook Client application.

    Select Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program and SkyVault Outlook Client.

  5. Download, extract and install the new Outlook files.

    See Installing SkyVault Outlook Integration for instructions on how to do this.

  6. Restart the SkyVault server and open Microsoft Outlook.

    Test that you can connect successfully to the SkyVault repository from Microsoft Outlook.

  7. If you used custom types in a previous version of SkyVault Outlook, you can optionally run an upgrading model script.

    Later versions of SkyVault Outlook use cm:content instead of a custom type to store email-related objects. All emails archived from version 2.0 use the cm:content model. You need to run the script only if you want to align all emails to the same model.

    1. Enter the URL: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/wps/mail/bulkmailmodelupdate where localhost:8080 is your SkyVault host and port number.
    2. Select Test to run the script in test mode, to understand how many files might change.
    3. Select Model Update to change your archived content to use the cm:content model.
  8. In earlier versions of SkyVault Outlook, there was an issue with thumbnail transformation.

    If you had an issue with broken thumbnails, you can optionally run a script to clean these up.

    1. Enter the URL: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/wps/mail/bulkmailthumbnailcleanup where localhost:8080 is your SkyVault host and port number.
    2. Select Test to run the script in test mode, to understand how many thumbnails might be deleted.
    3. Select Thumbnail Cleanup to delete all email thumbnails (based on the thumbnail minimum size settings in this dialog).
