Update Ajera

Ajera Cloud clients: You do not need to complete this task; Deltek completes it for you.

Before you begin

  • Before beginning the update, disable your anti-virus software.
Caution: Do not install an Ajera update while employees are connected over the web. If you install the update when an employee is entering data, work entered since the last save will be lost.

To update Ajera

  1. Direct all users, including those using Ajera Mobile Timesheets, to exit Ajera.
Note: If anyone is logged in during the update, all changes since the last save are discarded.
  1. If the Release Notes describe changes to Inquiry, export your custom inquiries.
  2. From the Ajera server, go to the Windows Start menu, and select All Programs > Ajera > Ajera Server Administration.
  3. On the Tasks menu, select Update Ajera.
    The Ajera installation displays status messages as it proceeds. Do not close any of these windows until the update is complete. If you have multiple Ajera databases, the update process updates all databases automatically.

Note: Ajera automatically creates a backup of your data in Ajera > Backups > PreviousVersion.bak.
  1. After the update is complete, import your custom inquiries if you had exported them earlier.
