14.10 Upgrading from Forman 4
Due to the fact FOCUS has been build on Forman 4 technology a current Forman 4 installation can
be upgraded to the FOCUS system by completing the following steps:
Step 1
Run the Forman 4 Forecourt Manager, Forman4Manager.exe, and request the configuration from the
PCC. This is located under the Utilities | Request Configuration tab. The Forman4Manager.exe can
be run with the command line parameter 'C1', this will perform a silent request configuration returning
0 on success, or 1 on failure.
Step 2
Install the FOCUS suite, refer the installation section. It is recommended that the FOCUS suite is
installed to a different location, e.g. C:\Program Files\Postec\FOCUS.
Step 3
Run the FOCUS Registry Upgrade Utility, RegistryUpgradeUtility.exe. This will upgrade the existing
Forman 4 registry settings to FOCUS registry settings. The RegistryUpgradeUtility.exe can be run
with the command line parameter 'S', this will perform a silent registry upgrade returning 0 on
success, or 1 on failure.
Step 4
Run the Forman 4 Upgrade application, Forman4Upgrade.exe. This application will populate the
FOCUS database with data from the existing Forman 4 database. The Forman4Upgrade.exe can be
run with the command line parameters 'A S', this will perform a silent database upgrade returning 0
on success, or 1 on failure.
Step 5
Run the PCC Connection Wizard and setup the connection type. Registry settings are available for
this, contact a Postec support engineer for more details. Note: Ensure the application node
numbers are setup and appropriate applications are activated.
Step 6
If the site requires a PCC software upgrade, the minimum version required for FOCUS is 628, it
should be performed once the above steps have been successfully completed. It is most likely that
the PCC software upgrade will involve a master reset. Should this be the case ensure you perform
the PCC software upgrade and then afterwards run the Forecourt Configuration application and
perform a Send Configuration to reconfigure the PCC. The Forecourt Configuration application can
be run with the command line parameter 'C3', this will perform a silent send configuration returning 0
on success, or 1 on failure.
Note: The Aux Devices and UPI's configuration are not stored in the Forman 4 database therefore
the upgraded FOCUS database at this point will not contain them either, if you are not using the
silent send configuration parameter 'C3' be sure to request these items up individually before doing
the send.
Step 7
If it has not been already done in step 6, perform a Send Configuration using the Forecourt
Configuration application . The Forecourt Configuration application can be run with the command
line parameter 'C3', this will perform a silent send configuration returning 0 on success, or 1 on
failure. (See Note above).
Step 8
Perform a final Request Configuration using the Forecourt Configuration application. The Forecourt
Configuration application can be run with the command line parameter 'C1', this will perform a silent
request configuration returning 0 on success, or 1 on failure.
