Upgrade to 9.3.1

With release 9.3.1, changes were made to support Designer Express functionality. The following upgrades are necessary only if you wish to implement Designer Express.

These instructions are intended for GIS administrators who currently are in production with Workflow Manager and who want to upgrade to the most recent release of the ArcFM Solution. This document does not apply if you are not currently using Workflow Manager and will be implementing it with the most recent version of the ArcFM Solution (i.e., you are new to ArcFM and are starting with the most recent release). If this is the case, refer to Set Up Workflow Manager.

If you are upgrading your Process Framework, you may also need to use the Process Framework Database Upgrade tool.

Configuration Values

On the Configuration tab, add the following configuration values.

• ExpressEstimateStylesheet: Used by Designer Express. This value provides a path to the XSL stylesheet used when exporting the Design Estimate report to Excel or a web browser (as HTML). Enter the path and file name. If you do not enter a value, the Design Estimate report will be exported into the default stylesheet included with Designer Express.

• ExpressEstimateOpenWith: Used by Designer Express. This value determines in what format the Design Estimate report is exported. There are three valid options for this config value:

Browser: Export the Design Estimate report to a web browser as HTML. This uses the stylesheet indicated by the ExpressEstimateStylesheet value.

Excel: Export the Design Estimate report to Excel. This uses the stylesheet indicated by the ExpressEstimateStylesheet value.

Excelxmlmap: Export the Design Estimate report to an Excel template with an embedded map. This uses the Excel file indicated by the ExpressEstimateWorkbook value and the workbook within that file indicated by the ExpressEstimateExcelXmlMap value.

• ExpressEstimateWorkbook: Used by Designer Express. This value provides a path to the Excel template to be used when exporting the Design Estimate report to an Excel spreadsheet that contains and embedded map. This value is only necessary if the ExpressEstimateOpenWith config value is set to Excelxmlmap.

• ExpressEstimateExcelXmlMap: Used by Designer Express. This value provides the name of the workbook that contains the embedded map. This value is only necessary if the ExpressEstimateOpenWith config value is set to Excelxmlmap.
