On-Premise Custom Development Utility

System Location: Help > About JobBOSS2

The Custom Development Utility (CDU) is only used by customers who have the software installed on their premises and have had specials created for them by the Custom Development team. In order to properly run the CDU upgrade, you must be on the web server, locally, where JobBOSS2 is installed. ECI Software Solutions, Inc. strongly recommends that the CDU upgrade is run at the same time as the Upgrade utility in order to ensure that specials will continue to work as designed.

The JobBOSS2 Upgrade Utility and CDU upgrade do make changes to the system. As with any system change, Support highly recommends creating full backups of your JobBOSS2 SQL Server databases, including the JobBOSS2 Master database, before running the utilities.

During the upgrade time, your JobBOSS2 site will be unavailable. Schedule this maintenance with your end-users, and plan for the downtime.

From the web server, login to JobBOSS2 and complete the following steps:

  1. Go to the purple Help button in the top right of the screen, and select About JobBOSS2 from the dropdown menu.

  2. Click on Update Available - Download JobBOSS2 Custom Development Utility 20XX.X-X-Rel.X above the General Information section.

  4. Click Next on the License Agreement screen.

  5. Enter the User Info and click Next.

  6. Enter the IIS Configuration details and click Next.

  9. The installation completes:

  10. The CDU page opens in a browser window to Verify the Install. Once it has finished loading, you may exit out of the screen.
