Implementation plan

Basic process

As Noah outlined in August 2013:

• Get a full backup and configuration details from the country
• Clean-up your dataset and collect all data
• Upgrade your dataset to 6.0
• Uninstall ArcEngine 9.3.1, IMSMA^NG and IMSMA RE 5.08.04
• Install IMSMA^NG and IMSMA RE 6.0
• Restore dataset and redo all configurations
• Refresher training for end-users
• Plan the next activities

Full backup and configuration details

With the IMSMA^NG backup functionality you get:

• Database
• maps (easier if you may get background.mxd and files)
• geodatabase
• iReports (as files)
• form templates (as files)
• translations
• attachments

Verify that you can restore the backup!

You need also secure other files:

• IMSMA.mxd (if customized)
• Source map files
• local projection files
• C:\IMSMAng\migration\conf\migration.properties and any import scripts
• Fallback fonts (IMSMAng\jre____\lib\fonts\fallback)
• External tools
• ODBC configurations

You need to take notes on client and server settings.

Clean-up your dataset and collect all data

There might be more country specific to do than what is mentioned in Data quality checks before upgrading to V6.0. All mdml and xml files must be imported (at least to the workbench) because the support for mdml is ended and xml files created with 5.08.04 will not be possible to import into a V6.0 database.

Upgrade your dataset to 6.0

This is described in details in Upgrade from 5.08.04 to 6.0 process

Uninstall ArcEngine 9.3.1, IMSMA^NG and IMSMA RE 5.08.04

This needs to be done on all computers in the country during a short time period since all installations in the country needs to be on the same version. After uninstallation the IMSMANG and IMSMARE folders should be deleted, refer to Uninstall IMSMANG and related applications and Uninstalling IMSMA RE for detailed instruction on how to uninstall. It is also good practice to restart the computer.

If the country is also upgrading to ArcGIS Desktop 10.1 they could uninstall older versions now too.

Install IMSMA^NG and IMSMA RE 6.0

Refer to install IMSMA^NG V6.0 and installing IMSMA RE.

It is important that the ArcEngine license is registred before restoring the database.

Restore dataset and redo all configurations

The database should be restored the NMAA and verify Check with the countries with the country. The client and server configuration might need to be adjusted. The NMAA needs to distribute the full backup to all local installations and give country specific instructions e.g. local projection files.

Refresher training for end-users

The NMAA needs to conduct refresher training for end-users. It is recommended to have different groups e.g. data entry personnel and management do not need the same training

Plan the next activities

• Run the new Saved searches

Discuss the outcome with the countries and if necessary make a plan on how to correct the errors/low data quality.

• Country Structure ID

Country Structures get updated e.g. districts are merged or towns changes names. If the Country Structure ID is set to the Pcode or another identifier used in the country future updates of the Country Structure would be greatly facilitated.

• Staging area

Could the country benefit from starting using the staging area for e.g. GIS analysis and map production?

• lightMINT & MINT
• Process mapping
