3. Installing the Update & Installation Procedure

 Printer Friendly Version

The update must be installed on your AXIS Payroll Server. This will usually be your network server, but a number of axis diplomat Payroll Users run their payrolls on a stand-alone PC.

Follow the Installation Procedure detailed below.

Please note that you need only install this update once for all axis diplomat Payrolls providing that all payrolls reside on the same machine. Where payrolls are ‘switched’ between ‘home’ and ‘office’, then both machines require the update.

Ensure that a full backup of the system is taken. Use the 'Copy Data to Full Backup' function to create an archive backup of the payroll data on to removable media. We also strongly recommend that a full backup of the AXIS programs and data is made using a tape backup

You should run the installation procedure from the axis diplomat Payroll server.

• You should be logged onto the server as an Administrator
• Ensure that all AXIS users are out of the system. You can do this by clicking on the System Console/User Status Enquiry button, found on the axis diplomat Scheduler toolbar. Then come out of the system yourself
