After you upgrade the APM Sync Server, you will need to upgrade each Windows Mobile Device that connects to that server. This can be done by initiating a synchronization operation from within the APM Mobile Framework or from within Operator Rounds on each device that needs to be upgraded. After any updated data has been transferred to the server, a message will appear in the synchronization log, indicating that the server has been updated and that an update of the handheld components needs to be performed. The update will begin automatically.
During the update process, depending upon the device's operating system, messages may appear indicating that the GE Digital APM components are already installed and that they need to be reinstalled. if you see these messages, you must select the Yes button. One message will appear for each component that is installed (i.e., APM Mobile Framework, Operator Rounds, and the Barcode and/or RFID add-ons). On other device operating systems, however, these messages do not appear, and the APM Mobile Framework closes automatically to allow the upgrade process to be completed.
When the upgrade process is complete, some of the applications that were previously installed will be reinstalled and updated automatically to the version to which you upgraded. In addition, any settings that were previously configured will be retained (e.g., the name of the security query). You will be redirected to the Operator Rounds login screen, where you can log in and begin using the Operator Rounds application. You will then need to go to the Add/Remove Applications window and upgrade any remaining add-ons.
Note: You are not required to update Windows Mobile Devices all at once or within a specific timeframe after upgrading the GE Digital APM Sync Server. If desired, you can simply allow the update to occur automatically the next time users synchronize with the server.
