B. Unzip to folder: Select the RLSSRevision folder (located either on the network drive or the C drive if not networked), then in that field type manually \December22, so that the path for unzipping is RLSSRevision\December22 and click on UnzipYou will need to enter the password , December2022 when you unzip this file.  It should tell you that 24 files unzipped successfully. Close out of the Self Extractor form.

 

To install the 1.1.1.23 revision, please do the following:

Note: all SQL server users will need to complete a backup of the database through SQL Server Management Studio prior to installing the revision.

Note:  If your agency is networked, the RLSSDBUpdater file in the RLSSRevision\December2022 on the server, needs to be run from a workstation that has GMS-RLSS installed and the ODBC setup for the database locations.

 

  1. Locate and double-click on RLSSDBUpdater.exe that is located in the RLSSRevision\December22 folder. A grid listing all databases set up in tblCompanies in the current database will be displayed. Click on Process.
  2. This process will Backup, Compact and Repair, and Update Access databases. It will only update SQL databases listed.
  3. Upon successful completion of this process, you will receive the message Update Completed!

 

Note: On each workstation when you click on the GMS-RLSS icon to go into the application, the software will compare the GMSRLSS.exe to the database. If they are not the most recent versions, you will get the message “There is a newer version of the application. Your application needs to be updated.” Click on Ok. This will copy the GMSRLSS.exe and any other pertinent files into C:GMSRLSS so you are always assured each workstation is using the latest version. On each workstation, click on Help and About. The version should now be 1.1.1.23.

 

Note: Should you get an error when logging into GMS-RLSS, that means your computer/network security is preventing the proper files from being copied. You can go to steps A and B above and unzip the RLSSDecember22 file to your workstation into the C:GMSRLSS.
