CONNECT - Service Pack updates

Offline stuartw over 8 years ago

I''m sure that this has been asked before but couldn't find the tharad. Anyway, are Service Packs to be used to update CONNECT instead of the large full program download that we have to do now? This would make this so much simpler and easier when updating the program. Could this be done through the CONNECTION Client or something similar?

Can anyone from Bentley confirm whether this is something that is being considered. Would certainly help with updates.

I believe that Service Pack would not be provided but to be replaced by another Edition, just treat it as V8 XM or mstn V4. This copy & paste style from autodesk would not last long.

You may well be right but a response from Bentley would be nice!

No idea what that means, can you explain?

That was to mean no spirit. Also, the CONNECT Edition obviously is an incomplete product which was designed for developer only. Just forget about the service update packs in the near future and wait for next major release.

Automating product updates is a welcome idea for making the deployment process more efficient. For example, we now deliver language packs rather than only localized full builds. We have evaluated, but do not yet distribute, an upgrade installer for MicroStation. Delivering these automatically is also something we can consider. It would be helpful to have your input in terms of products or workflows that handle this well, and thoughts on the important considerations such as administration.

Would an automatic update be welcome?
How often would you want service packs to be available?
What else needs to be considered before we go to a more automatic, granular update mechanism?

We appreciate all constructive comments!

To answer your questions, Yes automatic (well let us choose when to download and install) would be welcome. Would save on having to download (and store) a massive file, and would allow instant update of enhancements/problems,

Time wise it would depend on what the update is for but could be done fairly regularly, say 3 monthly, with additional ones if needed in between.
