1.3.3.2.  Catalog installation / Catalog update: Offline

[Note] Note

The process is basically the same for new installation and update. However, the Offline installation enables a detailed check for changes BEFORE the installation.

If you have the catalog cip file available, then you can use the Offline variant under PARTadmin -> category Catalog update -> Offline.

PARTadmin -> category "Catalog update" -> Offline

PARTadmin -> category "Catalog update" -> Offline

Normally this is the case in the online variant when deactivating the option Install after download. The downloaded catalog cip files then are stored in the Download directory, which you determined under Settings.

When performing an Offline installation proceed as follows:

  1. Start PARTadmin via Start -> Programs -> CADENAS -> PARTsolutions.

    • Click on the button

      or

    • select the Category -> Catalog update -> Offline.

  2. Click Open.

    -> Then select any number of saved *.cip files in the Explorer.

    These are displayed in the dialog area Catalogs.

  3. Under Versions, select one of the following options.

    • Keep all

      Optionally and not absolutely required.

      You can also select “Number of versions >=2“, for example.

    • Only keep the new version

      Not recommended.

    • Number of versions [2] (default)

      Please regard that the value is set to 2 or higher.

      Especially when updating with LinkDB connection (ERP integration) this is urgently recommended.[4]

    Optionally activate Save original files of new version.

    More information can be found under Section 1.3.3.4, “ Catalog versions ”.

  4. Click on Install.

    -> The installation is running through.

    At the end of the installation Installation finished is displayed.
