CC.Net and Client Upgrade

I am upgrading from 3.0.

I have a few CC.NET build servers setup that are currently pulling code from Vault.

Will I have to do anything other than updating the Vault clients on the build machines?

Here is the entry from my CCNet.config file:

Code: Select all

<sourcecontrol type="vault" autoGetSource="true" applyLabel="false">
  <executable>c:\program files\sourcegear\vault client\vault.exe</executable> 
  <username>builduser</username> 
  <password>password</password> 
  <host>vaulturl.com</host> 
  <repository>Project</repository> 
  <folder>$/Project</folder> 
  <ssl>false</ssl> 
  <useWorkingDirectory>true</useWorkingDirectory> 
  <workingDirectory>C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\\CSBS2</workingDirectory> 
  <cleanCopy>false</cleanCopy> 
  </sourcecontrol>

Also ... when upgrading clients, do I have to remove the old client, or does the install take care of everything?

Same question for upgrading the Admin Tool.

Nothing special needs to be done. Just need to upgrade the command-line client on the Cruise Control machine. You should not need to uninstall first to go from a 3.x to a 3.5. You will probably want to review the release notes before upgrading: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=6423

For the client(s) and admin tool upgrades, do I have to uninstall the previous version, or does the installer take care of all that for me?

As long as you are on some version of 3.x, you should need to perform an uninstall on anything and can just do the straight upgrade. It is always recommended that you have a recent back-up of your SQL database just in case something disasterous happens that was completely unexpected.
