-First thing to ensure before updating or upgrading WEAR is to synchronize WEAR dataset transactions to MAIN dataset. This can be done by performing update on WEAR system and check on the MAIN system if transactions are replicated.

 ===== Difference between Upgrade and Update ===== ===== Difference between Upgrade and Update =====
-To avoid confusion we need to understand what is the difference between update and upgrade terminologies. \\+Ultimately, an Upgrade or Update are essentially the same thing, but for clarity and the purposes of this document: \\
  
-Upgrade process is a type of update where the application version is change from 1 major release to another, best example is from version 5.42.0.195 to 6.0.0.132 and this require data conversion. On the other hand update is only applying a patch on the same version series, best example is from version 6.0.0.124 to 6.0.0.132, also from 6.0.50.40 to 6.0.50.50 and this does not require data conversion. \\+ - An upgrade is where the application version has changed from 1 major release to another. An example of this is when the version number has changed from 5.42.0.195 to 6.0.0.132. This upgrade requires System Five to perform a data conversion. \\ 
 + - An update is only applying a patch to the same version. An example of this is when the version number has changed  from 6.0.0.124 to 6.0.0.132. or another example, from 6.0.50.40 to 6.0.50.50. These would not require data conversion. \\
  
 ===== Updating WEAR  ===== ===== Updating WEAR  =====
-Both systemsWEAR and MAIN can be updated in any order mannerMain system can be updated first and vice versa, synchronizing transactions is not suggested while version of system five between 2 systems is not the sameThey must be updated to the same version before performing synchronization.\\+In an update scenarioyou should run a couple update cycles before you update the version. That way there won'be any outstanding invoices or data sitting on the FTPAny data or batches that are there will be empty batches. Once that is done, you can update the version using the FTP Updater within System Five in both the Main and Remote datasetsUsually the Main dataset would be updated first, then the remotes. Never attempt to synchronize transactions between two **different** versions of System Five.\\

-Upgrading WEAR from 1 major version to another will take a different way to complete it. As stated above this will require data conversion. After upgrading the application version on the MAIN system,it is followed by data conversion. Once this process is completed, the WEAR dataset should be recreated base on newly upgraded dataset from the MAIN system.\\+Upgrading WEAR from 1 major version to another will require a different method.

-After completing the recreation wizard, the recreated WEAR dataset setting in inside the MAIN Dataset folder, it needs to be copied to WEAR computer, replaced the old WEAR dataset. Regarding the new major version, a new package should be installed on WEAR computer.(Installer can be downloaded through mywindward website - customer credentials needed). As required the WEAR system should have the same version as the MAIN system. +After creating the remote WEAR datasets from S5poll in the man computer, it needs to be copied to WEAR computer. Rename the old WEAR dataset in case it is needed as a reference laterCopy the new WEAR dataset to the remote computer. You will also need to download the installer for the new version, or copy the bin folder from the Main computer and paste it into the bin folder on the remote computer. The new WEAR Remote **must** have the same version as the MAIN computer.

-Note: If its not possible to install the new version package on WEAR computerfollowing the step for System Five Update Tutorial will work, provided after completing this, its not allowed to log in to WEAR system until its dataset is recreated from the main and old WEAR dataset is replaced on WEAR computer. Old WEAR dataset can be deleted and place the newly recreated Dataset to the same path/directory. After making sure that both systems are running on the same major version, synchronization process can took place again +
