Upgrading a batch of iTX server machines

The Media Watcher registers the iTX installation folder in the System Database and moves
the Zip file to a folder in the Media folder.
Specify upgrade requirements and start an upgrade
1. Start the Software Distributor on your iTX Desktop.
2. Do the following to assign an iTX installation folder to a batch of machines.

3. For each machine you want to upgrade, do the following to specify the software modules
to include in the upgrade.
•
Select the machine in the system-information pane. You may select multiple machines if
they are to receive the same modules.
• Click Change Templates to display the Change Template dialog. This contains two
panes: one for available templates (on the left) and one for selected templates (on the

to the selected-templates pane. (You may remove any template from the selected-
templates pane by clicking Remove after selecting the template.)

As the upgrades happen, the Status column in the system-information pane shows the
current state of the process on each machine. You may monitor installer activity on any
machine by viewing the iTX Installer dialog on that machine.
