== Rolling out a change to the [[CCMDB.mdb]] ==

This includes changes to the [[s-tables]], the graphical interface and the programming/logic.

# Make sure the change is documented in [[Log]]

# Make sure the change is documented in [[Log]], individual changes can be marked minor; mark as not rolled out yet at top of heading

# Make sure the version in the version table in the program has been updated to the ~~data~~ of the first set of changes since the previous version

# Make sure the version in the '''version table''' in the program has been updated to the ''date of the first set of changes'' since the previous version; this field drives the version number collectors see on their main screen

# Copy the new version to the Master directory

## Open [[Regional Server]]\Programs\Master

## Rename the file ''CCMDB.mdb'' to version it, e.g. to ''CCMDB.mdb.pre_2010-~~jan~~-3''; this will also prevent opening it accidentally since it removes the file association with Microsoft Access

## Rename the file ''CCMDB.mdb'' to version it, e.g. to ''CCMDB.mdb.pre_2010-01-03''; this will also prevent opening it accidentally since it removes the file association with Microsoft Access

## Move the renamed file to the ''Versions'' folder

## Copy the new version of CCMDB.mdb to the Master directory

# Roll out the changes

## run the file '''[[updt_all.bat]]'''

## when the file is done, it will show a log; ~~scroll~~ to ~~the end of the log and make sure~~ that ~~all locations received the newest version~~; ~~if a location didn't, contact them to get them to log out of the program and copy the file manually or re~~-~~run the batch file~~

## when the file is done, it will show a log; review if you want to or just close, it's really just for keeping track.

# update in [[Log]] that an update was rolled out; this edit should have minor edit un-checked.
