Preparations:
1) Ensure that MPBM version is set to 2.1.2.3 (both front end and backend)
If the server is not yet upgraded by Asamco, please raise a Jira ticket.
If the server is upgraded but the version is at 2.1.2.2. Please install the patch below:
www.asamco.com/Software/MPBM/Patches/patch%202.1.2.3.zip
Using the patch is quite straightforward, here are the steps in detail:
1. Download and unzip the file.
2. Right-click the Patch_MPBM.ps1 file and click "Run with powershell"
3. If asked in the script to trust the authenticity of the script, select Y
4. If a popup comes up to allow the script administrator access, click Yes
5. When queried for the MPBMApi directory, press Enter to accept default, unless you know that MPBM is installed in a different folder.
6. When queried for the MPBMApp directory, press Enter to accept default, unless you know that MPBM is installed in a different folder.
2) Once the version is 2.1.2.3 both front end and backend. Create a backup!! Keep this database safe and upload it to a cloud somewhere. If anything goes wrong, budgets can be repaired with the backup!
3) Go to the MPBM → System Administration → general settings → Current budget year
Change the year to the next year and click save top right.
4) On the top of the MPBM you should see the budget year set to the next year.
5) Please check that the SDBIPS are now set to Draft. and that the Adjusted figures of last year are entered into the draft figures. If this is NOT THE CASE, something went wrong. Please restore the database and contact Asamco!
