Before You Start

Before starting the update:

• Identify all systems running CompuTec ProcessForce 2.0 (.NET Framework).

• Check whether your environment uses CompuTec AppEngine 2.0.

• Review any custom extensions, integrations, or internal developments.

  note

  If your environment contains custom developments, contact CompuTec Support before updating.

• Plan a maintenance window for the update.

• Create backups for your environment.

Important

CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 introduces a redesigned architecture. All CompuTec components within a single environment must be updated together to compatible versions.

Choose Your Update Scenario

Choose the scenario that matches your environment.

Scenario 1: Standard environment

Choose this scenario if your environment does not use:

• CompuTec ProcessForce API
• custom plugins
• custom APIs
• custom extensions
• custom integrations

To update to Computec ProcessForce 3.0, follow these steps:

1. Install and configure CompuTec AppEngine 3.0.
2. Install the CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0 plugin.
3. Validate the installation.

Note

If CompuTec ProcessForce API is detected on the server where CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 is installed, it is removed automatically during installation.

Scenario 2: Environment with custom developments

Choose this scenario if your environment uses:

• CompuTec ProcessForce API
• custom plugins
• custom APIs
• custom integrations
• custom background jobs
• partner or customer extensions

In this case, additional update work may be required.

Because CompuTec ProcessForce 3.0 runs on CompuTec AppEngine 3.0 and uses a new architecture, existing custom developments may need to be reviewed, adapted, or rebuilt.

Before starting the update, contact your CompuTec partner or CompuTec Support.
