Upgrading WELLPLAN

This chapter contains important information that you need before proceedingwith the installation. There are sections about upgrading from previousversions of WELLPLAN, hardware requirements of WELLPLAN 1998.7 andlicensing issues.

Upgrading from Previous Windows Versions

This section outlines the details you will have to consider when updating

WELLPLAN from previous Windows versions.

WELLPLAN Database Update

The WELLPLAN data model has changed for the 1998.7 release. As a result, itis necessary to upgrade WELLPLAN 6.0 databases.

An upgrade program is included for WELLPLAN 6.0 Access databases. Thesetup program will automatically detect and offer to upgrade the currentWELLPLAN 6.0 database. If additional databases need to be upgraded, the

upgrade program can be run from the Start menu.

Data Migration

Most WELLPLAN 5.3.x / 1998.x data is supported by WELLPLAN 1998.7.The WELLPLAN 5.3 Data Import utility is run from the WELLPLAN 1998.7application. Once WELLPLAN is installed, click File on the menu bar andselect Importand WELLPLAN 5.3...and follow the on screen instructions.

WELLPLAN 5.3.x/1998.x tool catalogs can also be imported into

WELLPLAN 1998.7. The WELLPLAN 5 Catalog Import tool can belaunched from the WELLPLAN 1998.7 program group.

Bitlock Licensing Upgrade Issues

When WELLPLAN 5.3.1 was released a new bitlock licensing system was

introduced, requiring that the previous green Software Security Inc. bitlocks be

8/10/2019 Install l

replaced with the new Rainbow Sentinel bitlocks. This release continues tosupport the new Rainbow Sentinel bitlocks. No change is necessary.

For those clients who are upgrading from WELLPLAN 5.3 or older, simplyunplug your old bitlock and connect your new one.

Network Licensing Upgrade Issues

In WELLPLAN 5.3.1 the network licensing system, Netsecur, was enhanced tosupport all Landmark Windows products within the same licensing session andto be easier for the client to configure and implement. That release of Netsecursystem was not compatible with previous versions, so it was necessary toreconfigure your Netsecur system after installing WELLPLAN 5.3.1.

Clients who are upgrading from WELLPLAN 5.3.1 (R98) or 1998.1 (R98Plus) will not need to make any change to their existing Netsecur licensingsystem. Clients who are just now upgrading from WELLPLAN 5.3 or oldershould contact Landmark for your new Netsecur software license. To receiveyour license, contact the license administration team via email([email protected]), the World Wide Web (http://www.lgc.com) or phone (TheAmericas 281-560-1110, option 6, or outside the Americas +44 (0) 1932-832100). Clients who are upgrading from WELLPLAN 5.3.1 can continueusing the network licensing system that was setup when WELLPLAN 5.3.1was setup.

To receive information about any licensing issues, contact

the license administration team via email([email protected]), the World Wide Web (http://www.lgc.com) or phone (The Americas 281-560-1110,option 6, or outside the Americas +44 (0) 1932-832100).

WELLPLAN Installation

This chapter has two major sections:

Network Server

Single User

These sections describe how to install WELLPLAN on a single computer and

on a network.

Single User Installation

The WELLPLAN 1998.7 installation is located on Volume 2 of the CD Binder

kit. You cannot install WELLPLAN 1998.7 from Volume 1of the kit.

The installation should begin automatically when you insert the Volume 2 CD.

If for some reason the autorun program does not work on your machine, you

can begin the installation by running Setup.exe from the WELLPLAN

directory of the CD.

1. Click the WELLPLANbutton to continue to the WELLPLAN screen of

the Landmark common installer. You can also view the systemrequirements and the 1998.7 release notes by selecting the appropriatebuttons. If you need information on licensing issues for WELLPLAN, youcan click the Obtain License button, which links to the licensing section ofthe Landmark website. Once you are ready, select Install to begin theinstallation.

2. WELLPLAN requires the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)

v2.1. If the setup routine has detected that MDAC 2.1 is not installed, it

will ask you if you want to install it. Pressing NO will abort the setup

and WELLPLAN will not be installed. Press YES to install the MDAC

v2.1 components. After these components are installed, the computermust be rebooted and the setup routine must be restarted.

3. After the MDAC v2.1 is installed, you will be greeted by the Welcome

screen.You are advised to exit all other Windows programs, and given

some brief copyright information. Click Nextto continue.

4. Use the User Information screen to enter your name and your companyname. Click Nextto continue.

5. The Setup Type screen allows you to select between a network and asingle user installation. (This screen does not appear during a network

client installation.) Select Single User. The Single User Install copies allrequired files and configures the computer to run WELLPLAN. A singleuser install includes a single user database system. Click Nextto continue.

6. Use the Select Destination Location screen to specify the folder where youwant WELLPLAN installed. A default folder is provided. To selectanother folder, use the Browsebutton. Click Nextto continue.

7. WELLPLAN can now be licensed using the FLEXlm license system.Use the FLEXlm screen to specify the folder where WELLPLAN setup

should install the FLEXlm license file. The license file (named

license.dat) is not included with this install and must be obtained fromLandmark licensing. If you do not intend to use FLEXlm licensing, accept

the defaults. Click Nextto continue.

8. The Start Copying Files screen allows you to review your installation

choices. If you need to change any of your choices, click the Backbutton.

If you are satisfied with your selections, click Nextto start copying and

installing files.

Network Installation

This section presents a guide to installing WELLPLAN on a network. Theseinstructions are intended to advise Network System Administrators and

WELLPLAN specialists on how to organize WELLPLAN networkinstallations. The average WELLPLAN user does not need to understand the

following in order to use the system on a day-to-day basis.

Directory Structure

This section discusses the structure of a WELLPLAN network installation. It is

important that the Network Administrator read this section before proceeding

with a network installation.

A standard installation of WELLPLAN on a Windows NT network uses twodirectories or drive mappings:

Client Directory -[C]:\Program Files\Landmark\WELLPLAN

The Client directory, on the user's own PC, is where the users local files,

miscellaneous temporary (or scratch) files, and configuration data are

located. Also, various files that are created by the user (reports, graphs and

transfer files) are written here. These files are owned by a particular

user and are not shared.

A common alternative installation is to place the Client directory for eachuser on the Server as well. This is achieved by placing the Local directory

under each user's Home directory (to use Netware terminology). For

example:

Client directory in user's home directory

H:\HOME\USER001\WELLPLAN

The advantage of this is gained in system administration and maintenance.

The disadvantage of this is a slowdown in the performance of the

WELLPLAN system if high network traffic is the norm.

Server Directory - [F]:\WELLPLAN\SERVER

The Network directory on the server will contain the system files that can

be shared by all users. This directory can also reside on the users PC to

save space on the file server.

Installing WELLPLAN on a Network

There are two main steps to install WELLPLAN on a network. First, theNetwork Administrator will install the WELLPLAN Network directory in ashared directory on the network. Then each user will run the Setup programfrom the \setupdirectory to install their Local directory. Both of

these procedures are discussed below. The WELLPLAN directory structureand terminology was discussed earlier in this section.

The recommended order for performing a network installation is as follows:

Read the Network Directory Structure section and determine where theWELLPLAN system will be installed on your network.

Install WELLPLAN on the network.

If necessary, contact the license administration team via email([email protected]), the World Wide Web (http://www.lgc.com) or phone

(The Americas 281-560-1110, option 6, or outside the Americas +44 (0)1932-832100) if you need to set up the Netsecur licensing system.

Network Installation Steps

The WELLPLAN 1998.7 installation is located on Volume 2 of the CD Binder

kit. You cannot install WELLPLAN 1998.7 from Volume 1of the kit.

The installation should begin automatically when you insert the Volume 2 CD.

If for some reason the autorun program does not work on your machine, you

can begin the installation by running Setup.exe from the WELLPLANdirectory of the CD.

Client Installation

A Client Installation installs the WELLPLAN client directory, which allowsthe user to run the Network installation of WELLPLAN. The following steps

outline the Client Installation:

1. The Client Installation can either be launched at the end of the NetworkServer installation or by running the Client Installation Setup Program.The SETUP.EXE is found in the SETUP directory of the NetworkWELLPLAN Server Directory: \Setup\Setup.exe.

2. The client install is the same as a single user installation, with theexception that the setup type (Single User or Network) can not be chosen.

WELLPLAN Database

WELLPLAN1998.7 is connected to a MS Access 97 database. It is intended toreside locally, in each users PC. It is not intended to be shared by multiple

users, simultaneously. That functionality will be added in a future release.

The database file, wellplan.mdb, is installed in the \Database

directory, where is the WELLPLAN client directory. It can be moved to

another location, which would require that the path be changed in the ODBC

data source, wellplan. This can be done using the 32 bit ODBC

Administrator.
