Updating the Business Bot Platform

If an older version of the Business Bot Platform is already installed, the database must be backed up beforehand. After installation, the database must then be restored so that the platform’s WebSetup can update the old database structure to the new version. These are the required steps:
1. Backup old BBP database (Script: C:\Program Files\BusinessBotPlatform\bin\exportDatabase.bat)
2. Installing the new BBP version
3. Restore old BBP database (Script: C:\Program Files\BusinessBotPlatform\bin\importDatabase.bat)
4. Run WebSetup of the platform to update the BBP database

The installation of the Business Bot Platform is supported by an installer (installation wizard). The software is provided as an executable file (filename: BusinessBotPlatform-R2021GA.x64.exe). After starting the installation, the installer checks the various system requirements (for example, available space) and compatibility with the operating system.

The following procedures must be carried out:

  1. Select the installation language

  2. Welcome to the installation

  3. Confirmation of the license terms

  4. Select the installation folder

  6. Finally, all information is summarized before starting the installation:

  7. The files are now copied.

  8. The Installer will confirm the completion once the installation process is completed

  9. The README file contains an overview of the next configuration steps. If you check the box Start Business Bot Platform after finishing installation, the default web browser is automatically opened and navigate you to the login screen of the Business Bot Platform.

The next step is necessary to perform the web setup of the Business Bot Platform. Therefore, follow the instructions in chapter Web-Setup of the platform .
